Hair cut or not?

Hello All,
Back with another nosy pandemic self care question! So...have you gotten your hair cut? Cut your own? Are you letting it grow into a pony tail like Gunnar? Have you been to a shop and what was it like? Feel safe? If you cut your own, how'd you do?
My hair ended up down to my shoulders at one point, so I simply cut in some long layers. Can't recall when that was. Then I cut the angle out of it from the last salon cut. And more recently took off some of the length again. I mean, it looks okay but...
I really, really, think I'm over the hippie look for summer and really, really, want to go into the salon and get it all whacked off and I mean, whacked.
What about hair color? Anyone colored their own? Gone to a salon? Feel safe? I grew out my color about 5 years ago so this isn't an issue for me though I have gone through "safer at home" spurts where I've considered doing my hair purple.
Why not? If I go out in public, I'm in disguise anyway so who cares, right?
What about beards for guys? Did you grow one?
And Gunnar, how's that pony going?

Ms. Ipsa cut mine. Haircut place is on my “places to stay away from for as long as possible” list.

Good for Ms. Ipsa! Did you do hers in return?
What if the salon is limiting the amount of customers in the building and everyone is masked? I'm talking like at most, 20 minutes.
Do you think the dental office is safer and if so, why?

My dentist's office has not yet reopened. However, I noticed the offices across the street are doing a brisk business: LDS Stem Cell and Organ Harvesters LTD, flanked by the Lovett café and the Elder S. Todd Barbershop.

My Norelco electric razor works great. No need to grow a beard. It also does a fairly good job of trimming my sideburns. As for the ponytail, my hair is still not long enough for a decent ponytail. I'll let you know if I ever do. (not!)
When and if I decide I can't stand to go any longer without having my hair trimmed, I'm sure my wife can be prevailed upon to help me trim it, as RI's wife does for him.

Great. Cataract surgery can really brighten up the day and evenings! Just need to remember my three different eyedrops four times a day.

I went to get a haircut at a shop last month and felt safe there. Masks are required in the shop.
