Hair Stylists Finding Themselves Busy After Reopening

“I’m swamped,” Ryan Bricker, owner of The Village Barber in Winona Lake, said Tuesday.
“Yesterday people were coming in, I’m busy today, and I’m booked for the next few weeks,” Bricker said. “It feels like a high school reunion again. It’s certainly long overdue.”
Bricker said he doesn’t have any concerns about reopening and that he’s just ready to get to it.
Crystal Reed, owner of Bar’lon on Center Street in Warsaw, was busy cutting a client’s hair Tuesday and said she’s very happy to be back to work.
“I’m very happy they’re reopened,” Barry King said, who was getting his hair cut for the first time since the shutdown began back in March.
Angie Schuler, who owns Scissors Hair Salon on North McKinley Street in Warsaw, hardly had time to talk because she’s so busy.
“We’re swamped. It’s been very busy, 12 and a half hour days,” she said of reopening her doors Monday.
Sirena Morgan, who’s owned Elite Design Team for the past 18 years in Syracuse, acknowledged it’s a new way of life for the salon.
“Things are going fine, and it’s a little different compared to what we’re used to, but everybody has been very accommodating, and all of our clients are doing what they’re asked and the sanitization is going well,” Morgan said. “We’re very busy. A lot of us are going to be working a lot. My next two weeks are 10- to 12-hour days and I don’t have a day off until the 23rd. People are very, very, very happy, and there’s lot of hair on the floor, people are happy to not have gray roots, and we’ll do what we have to do to be open for sure.”
Amber Burchard, a stylist at A K Hare Company in North Webster, said stylists there are so busy they don’t have any time to talk.
Several other salons that were attempted to be reached for comment either rang busy or promised to call back when they had a minute.
Rob Parker, Kosciusko Chamber of Commerce president and CEO, said he’s on the list of someone who needed a hair cut.
“I think everybody needed a hair cut, and it’s great to see businesses reopening and taking the necessary precautions to keep everybody safe,” he said.
