Capillary post-lockdown: the best addresses for Parisians in need of a good barber

The best barbers and hairdressers in Paris

For all those who feel like their hair-cut has become totally non-existent. For all the beards that are too long, badly trimmed, with holes. To all the beards unkempt for months. The 11th of May signs the end of capillary doldrums and extra-long beards for all the poorly groomed and badly shaven Parisians.

Joy: most hairdressers and barbers have decided to reopen after the lockdown. Their common obsession? Ensure the hygiene barrier gestures against Covid-19. Thus, clients must wear a mask (that will of course be removed during the barber session)— they must respect the time of their appointment and wait outside, come alone, wash their hands when arriving and leaving with the available hydro-alcoholic gels, having washed their hair ahead of time, place their belongings in a bag. As for the salons, they will supply disposable towels and robes, while disinfecting the seats and tools between each client. Now just make an appointment in one of the most trendy salons in Paris.
