Well if you have a holiday as well then that makes it perfectly acceptable.

I say go for it. Ignore the haters in this thread.

Luckily we can go to France so im gonna consider getting on the eurostar to Paris for a cut if they open barbers there a lot sooner!
Update: Yes barbers are already opened in France, Spain and even Italy.

You should definitely do it No.1FFF. Ignore the haters.
Don't forget to kiss strangers on both cheeks when you greet them.

Good morning. Good morning. In less than an hour eurostars from here will join others from around the world and you will be launching the largest hair battle in the history of mankind.

Mankind, that word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can’t be consumed by our messy appearances anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it’s fate that today is the 4th of July and you will once again be fighting for our freedom not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution but from overlong hair!

We’re fighting for our right to shave, to trim, and should we win today the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American President holiday but is the day when the world declared in one voice:

“We will not go untidily into the night. We will not vanish without a neat haircut. We’re going to live on. We’re going to survive. Today we celebrate our Haircut Day!”

The streets and parks of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, are coming back to life. The easing of quarantine restrictions means that shops, beauty salons, hairdressers, parks and squares are all open again.

Restaurants and cafes are also allowed to resume service - but only if the tables are carefully spaced and outside.

It is a public holiday on Monday, so many of the eateries in downtown Kyiv have been building terraces on the pavement and preparing menus, in anticipation of welcoming customers again on Tuesday.

It is the hottest day of the year to date, so there were queues to get into the city's botanical gardens and to buy ice creams.

Ukraine has so far avoided the worst of the coronavirus outbreak. No-one's quite sure why, but it's probably because of the decisive early action taken by the authorities.

Mindful of the appalling state of the country's healthcare system and with an ageing population, pretty much everything was shut down in mid-March when there were just a handful of cases reported.

In the weeks since, the number of cases and deaths has risen steadily, but not exponentially. As Ukraine begins its experiment with opening up, the official statistics are that about 15 people are dying from the coronavirus every day.
