And a professional in the industry here in Southwest Florida told us, although they have enough gloves for their employees already, that will be a concern moving forward.

Others we spoke to said all they are doing is preparing to reopen Monday and rethinking how appointments will work.

One stylist told us you’ll get your temperature check at the door.

Studio RK Salon told us they’ll be asking customers to wear mask when they book appointments.
