Sukhothai barber fully booked after govt lets its hair down on lockdown

With the government allowing barbers and beauty salons to open from May 3 after about a month of shutdown, one barber in Sukhothai voiced happiness at seeing he is fully booked until May 6 at least by customers who have spent weeks staying put at home.

“I am glad the government has finally let barber shops reopen and that I can work again to support my family,” beamed Suchart Boonmee, 45, owner of Chart Barber in Sukhothai’s Meuang district.

“I have employed measures as suggested by the Public Health Ministry to ensure the safety of my customers, including cleaning my hair-cutting tools and seats after every customer has left, providing services to one customer at a time and placing hand-sanitiser dispensers at the entrance,” he added.

“All customers must make an appointment in advance via telephone and no waiting is allowed inside my shop,” he said. “Most importantly, customers and staff must wear face masks at all time.”
