Wichita business owners have been waiting for reopening day. Even with restrictions, salons and barbershop are booming with business, but gyms are seeing a slower pace of people returning.

For the salons, it's back to business; clippers buzzing and hairstyles coming back to life again. Some barbers said they've been cutting hair non-stop since their shop opened back up.


While barbershops and salons are back open, your next visit will come with some major changes. Salons and barbershops are appointment-only and check-ins are happening by phone.

The state requires businesses to sanitize between each customer thoroughly, too. Some shops are requiring masks for customers.

Gyms have not seen booming business just yet, but said they're still working hard to guarantee employees and gym members are safe.

Some of the smaller group class gyms are not yet able to open, along with movie theaters and larger entertainment venues and bars.

Be sure to check with your salon, barbershop or gym to find out the requirements and guidelines before going in to work out or for an appointment.
