YORK COUNTY, S.C. -- On Monday, South Carolina hair salons, nail salons, barber shops, gyms and pools reopened at limited capacity.

CrossFit Rock Hill has been closed since April 1 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Owner Barrett Shaft looks forward to welcoming customers again.

“Pure excitement. We’ve been waiting for that forever,” Shaft says.

On Sunday, he was preparing to reopen by modifying the traffic flow with a one-way entrance and a one-way exit.

In addition, customers will undergo temperature checks before being allowed to join a workout class.

“We’ve decided to cap classes moving forward at 10 people. We have sectioned off 10-by-10 foot areas where that will be a working space for a member,” Shaft says.

Gym members won’t share equipment during the class. They will disinfect it after each use.

“We are going to take every precaution we can to make sure they are in a safe environment,” Shaft says.

On Sunday afternoon, Fort Mill Barber Shop owner Jeff Ferrell was also preparing to open on Monday.

He’s relieved to be back in business.

“I’m ready to get back to work, that’s my livelihood and excited because I want to start to see my customers,” Ferrell says.

He said he usually doesn’t open on Mondays but he made an exception this time.

“In my barber life of 38 years, that’s the first time I’ll work Monday,” Ferrell says. “Gov. Henry McMaster said we could go back Monday and it has been seven weeks and I’m ready to go back.”

He does admit he is a little bit worried.

“We feel like we have everything the state has asked us to do. It’s just going to be the crowds because we haven’t cut hair in seven weeks and I feel like we are going to get a lot of people from North Carolina because nothing is open up there,” Ferrell says.

Landon House who lives in Charlotte plans to visit Rock Hill to get a haircut.

“I’m past due on a haircut and I’m in real estate. I’m talking to people every single day,” House says.

Other Charlotte residents like Ravikumar Nagaraj prefer getting a haircut in North Carolina when those businesses reopen to avoid non-essential travel.

“I can wait, no problem,” Nagaraj says.

South Carolina health officials recommend cosmetology industry employers to wash hands before and after every client.

In addition, once service is completed chairs, hair washing sinks, and other devices or tools should be disinfected.
