Generally, the ministry’s SOP encourages hair salons to accept customers who have made appointments, and states that walk-in customers are only allowed if there are no other customers in the store. Hair salons have to record the temperature of each customer in a registration book, with hand sanitisers to be prepared and for compulsory use before and after the touching of the registration book. The ministry encourages the use of the government’s MySejahtera app to record the name and phone numbers of customers for easy contact tracing.4. How to be a responsible customer
For customers, they should wear face masks, while wearing a disposable haircut apron or cape during the haircut is a must.After each haircut, the hairdresser has to wash hands with soap or hand sanitiser and use new gloves, with all disposable items such as apron, gloves, gowns to be thrown into a covered rubbish bin.
Slightly different here is that it is compulsory for employees to wear face shields at all times and a new set of gloves when providing services to a new customer with disposable gowns encouraged, unlike for haircuts where face shield is merely encouraged.8. What the hair salon operator has to do
