Shelly at Gents Barbershop in Hampton is responding to customer concerns by creating an open-air barbershop, where she will cut hair outdoors every Thursday starting Aug. 13.
I spoke to Shelly about her business, which she says has been suffering during the pandemic as many of her customers aren’t comfortable coming into the shop. She said she can relate to their concerns, because she has an autoimmune disease and is in the high-risk category. But she had to get back to work, and she’s hoping that by offering haircuts outside, she can reduce some of ehr customers’ anxiety.
“I want to give Gents clientele different options, and I want them to know that I hear them and I understand,” she said.
You need to make an appointment by phone for the open-air barbershop.
Thursday hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and the phone number is 603-601-8615. Masks are required, and Shelly said she is strictly following all other state guidelines on sanitation and other safety protocols.
