Short Haircut around Boston during COVID

Post date: 2020-09-20 03:17:44

The last salon I went to for a haircut, which I was happy with early in the pandemic, was not inspiring my confidence in their COVID compliance procedures on my last cut. Can you recommend a well-compliant place to get a haircut in the Boston area? Complication: short hair / male style cut on a female-identifying person.

My first haircut in the pandemic was not at my usual place, as I was (and still am, at least through the end of 2020) working from home. This new place gave me a satisfactory haircut the first time around and was super careful on that first visit, so I went there again for my next. On my 2nd visit I found they were getting rather lax, with a lot of crowding and a lack of consistent mask compliance from staff. I do not want to go back there.

I liked my usual place, close to my company's main office in the NW of Boston exurbs, because it is owned by a trans-woman, whose staff was super great with my gender-non-conforming hair preferences. They have a lot of space, so I could imagine they are probably doing good with compliance. Going back to my usual place is an option, but it would be an outing each time, and I would like to find something much closer to home (West Rox / Dedham / Newton / Needham / JP area). Online booking would be a plus.

Looking especially for places where people have first-hand experiences with recent COVID compliance.
