CUTTINGSVILLE – Vermonters may find it easier to have their hair trimmed and be vaccinated under a proposal submitted by Representative Buzz Cutts, of Cuttingsville. Cutts, who is the proprietor of \u201cEastern Hairlines Tonsorial\u201d suggests the Vermont Health Department allow hair stylists and barbers provide vaccine to patrons sitting in their chairs. \u201cThe one month separation between injections is about the time frame between haircuts. It\u2019s a win-win,\u201d Cutts states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Francoise Brady, owner of \u201cCurly Girls Salon\u201d in Barre, backs the idea. Brady is President of the Vermont Hair Designer and Highlighter Society, and is suggesting training interns in the inoculation process. \u201cThis could have a long term impact. Need a flu shot? Just go to your salon!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over at Hair Haven, in Fair Haven, Senior Stylist Flo Dryer, totally supports Cutts, stating \u201cWhat a business stimulus! New Yorkers will just flock here. We\u2019re even considering a Pandemic Perm Design that requires two visits.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There was a slightly different feeling at Panton Permanology (P-Ology to Townies).\u00a0\u201cWe have fifteen locations here, and there may be some logistical issues,\u201d stated Dandy Ruffe.\u00a0\u201cWe do wear PPE, but now additional medical waste disposal comes into play.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While at Burlington\u2019s Progressive Perms Palace (Triple P\u2019s, locally) on Church Street, CEO Heidi Lighter says \u201cWhat\u2019s another chemical to us?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And at \u201cBleachers Unisex Barbershop\u201d (BUB for short) in Baltimore, proprietor Curley Lockette says patrons will benefit three fold. \u201cGet styled, inoculated, and catch up on town gossip all in one sitting.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maxine Shiner, of The Bald And The Beautiful Men\u2019s Boutique, Topshams only downtown business says, \u201cThis could be an economic stimulator, a good injection of needed revenue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Large chain Pharmacies are pledging strong opposition to the idea, issuing a press release stating, \u201cThis is just sticking it to our profit line.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
