"They sterilize our equipment, like our scissors, brushes, clips, we tend to wipe them down in between clients, but this makes me more comfortable that things will be completely sanitized," said co-owner Jacqui Pappalardo, who adds her salon can open responsibly, with fewer hairstylists each day and keeping their stations farther apart.
