Owner Ken Peters said they stocked up on cleaning supplies before they were forced to shut down. Employees are wearing masks, only doing haircuts by appointment and cleaning down the chair after every customer.

For Todd Patrick & Co., people will be required to wear masks when they come in, and chairs will be spread apart to ensure social distancing.
