Are Salons in Japan Safe to Visit During the Coronavirus Pandemic?
As we roll into the middle of 2020, the coronavirus continues to wreak havoc around the world as the most widespread virus to appear since H1N1. As no big leaps have been made towards a plan to considerably halt the spread of the virus for good, people are beginning to think of how to balance being safe but continuing daily life as quarantine was never a permanent solution. Let’s look at how this virus is affecting salons specifically around Japan, and whether it is safe or not to visit salons during this time.
The Novel Covid-19
One of the biggest panics the world has faced in the past 100 years, the coronavirus pandemic is making history as it spreads to every corner of the globe. About every 10 years a new virus usually makes the news. 10 years ago that was the swine flu, H1N1, which did cause a considerable panic for quite a few months. However how was that different from today’s case? The swine flu was no where near as infectious as this coronavirus.
What makes this novel coronavirus different from so many others can be described in 2 big points. The first is that this virus lives quite a long time outside the body. Researchers estimate anywhere from 6 hours to 4 days is possible for viral particles to survive outside the body, making the situation much harder to control. The other is the extremely wide range of symptoms individuals can experience after becoming infected with the virus, from one extreme to the other. It’s actually not rare to have 0 symptoms. Studies done on the patients leaving the Diamond Princess cruise ship that ran from Yokohama around areas in China say that nearly 40% of infected passengers showed nearly 0 signs of any infection. It’s believed these people are just as able to spread the virus as someone experiencing more flu-like symptoms. In some cases these people have been labelled super spreaders, able to travel and live freely while still infecting other people.
This virus has been around for over half a year now but no significant leap towards preventing the virus has been discovered yet. Now moving into May, many countries are opening back up after successfully controlling the spread of the virus using measures like closing all non-essential jobs, and strictly enforcing and regulating how and when people can leave their houses. And some countries are still suffering, with the total number of patients still fluctuating every day like America.
America has moved onto a state by state policy, where states can act as they see fit. Some areas in states like California and New York, being more heavily populated out of the 50 states decided to take strict precautions and mandate people wear masks at all times, as well as closing many business large and small, while some states decided not to do much at all, especially those states where the population density is low. Trusting people act with common sense isn’t necessarily the best path but not the worst either, only time will tell the effects of each actions states are taking.
"Are Salons Actually Safe to Go to Right Now?"
One big topic of discussion is getting a hair cut. Not only is this something that many people feel they can’t avoid, but many salons and barbers are extremely worried about their businesses. The business models for salons especially rely on a steady stream of customers more than others. A salon doesn’t make money off of stock, they provide regular services. And the individual workers and private hair stylists are not able to make any income during this time. Now that restrictions are starting to loosen up, people are now wondering, “Are salons actually safe to go to right now?”
A headlining story in America comes from Dallas, TX. Texas is a major state that decided to start loosening restrictions, however they set dates for when certain business could open in advance to let owners be able to plan their future a little more solidly. Salons were among the last stores to be allowed to open, however a salon in Dallas decided she had no choice but to open earlier and began taking customers. Looking at NYC, which quickly became the heart of the coronavirus panic as nearly 2000 people died in one day at the peak of this crisis, NYC is still strictly regulating businesses. It seems far in sight the day salons can open there. Many business have already filed bankruptcy, as many new yorkers can’t even afford to pay rent at the moment. Many salons are actually running illegally, in what’s been labelled as a blackmarket situation.
If you’ve read any news about salons during this time, you may see some crazy photos of stylists in doctors robes and masks. With full PPE, many stylists are heading back to work. Dealing in such an intimate environment, a salons is the prime place for a virus like the Coronavirus to spread freely. Doing everything in their power to not only protect themselves, but make customers feel safe, this might be something that will become more normal in the future.
While in America and other countries running salons are illegal right now, that’s not the case in Japan as they are allowed to be open during this time as ordered by the government.
The question is whether it’s okay to go to a salon right now or not. BSR conducted a survey to salons of what preventative measures they are taking to lower the risk to their customers. The Japanese government has said to it’s citizens this past week, there are three main things that dramatically lower the risk of catching the novel Covid-19: Washing and disinfecting hands and surfaces regularly, wearing masks while avoiding encloses spaces, and not spending time in high traffic areas. While we can control these three things, salons are also trying their best to do the same. In our questionaire we asked 5 questions:
1. What are you doing to prevent the spread of infection and disinfect?
2. How are you ventilating the store to ensure clean air flow?
3. What are the staff doing to manage their physical condition?
4. Are reservations restricted to customers?
5. Is there a change in business hours or how the staff work?
Let’s look at the area’s current situations, and how the respective salons responded to our surveys.
Tokyo Area
4/7 Government announces emergency declaration
4/11 Governor of Tokyo requests closure of restaurants, etc.
4/16 Tokyo becomes one of “13 special vigilance prefectures”
5/4 Government’s declaration of emergency extends to May 31
5/5 Announcement that the Tokyo Metropolitan Government leave request will be extended until May 31st releases
These are the government declarations over the past month and a half. Almost all of the famous shopping areas throughout Tokyo have been shut down on an unprecedented level, as shops and businesses do their best to avoid coronavirus, and while some are hanging on many have already filed bankruptcy as Japan’s economy, the third largest in the world, takes a hit. Now that things are slowing down, some shops are choosing to open and try and adjust to the new times.
Here are the salons we talked to that are taking measures to reduce risk of coronavirus infection in Tokyo.

Osaka Area

5/4 Government’s declaration of emergency is extends to May 31
5/5 Creates “Osaka model”, a basic concept of self-restraint request / cancellation and countermeasures based on Osaka Prefecture’s own standards
Osaka prefecture started the lock down on 4/7 after taking light measures like asking citizens to refrain from going out on the weekend. This was an attempt to control the cluster outbreaks of the virus coming from popular live house shows on the weekends. However as time went on the measures proved to be ineffective. As the curve decreased over the month of April, Osaka continues to be vigilant and asks citizens to continue practicing self restraint until further notice.
As we practice more self-restraint, can we be safe going to some salons in Osaka? Let’s see what measures are being taken by salons in the area.

Kyoto

4/10 Due to the increase in the number of infected people, the prefecture requested the government to declare an emergency.
4/17 Emergency declaration expanded nationwide, and Kyoto Prefecture announced emergency measures based on the Act on Special Measures

In Kyoto City, the mayor himself commented, “I want you not to come to Kyoto,” and the Yamakoko cruise of the Gion Festival has been cancelled . Commercial facilities such as AEON MALL, PORTA, and OPA also announced temporary closures around Kyoto Station and in downtown areas such as Karasuma and Kawaramachi, and I feel a quiet mood at the level of living.
As a result, the number of infected people in Kyoto Prefecture has fallen below 10 since late April. By the end of May, the self-restraint mood seems to continue, but the impression is that the beauty salon is taking measures accordingly. Let’s take a closer look below.
