Three weeks ago, hair salons and barbershops opened for the first time since mid-March.

Some salons are experiencing long lines and hours-long waits. Others are having a hard time luring back their customers.

Guests:

Chris Farrell is MPR News senior economics contributor.

Melissa Taylor is the owner of The Beauty Lounge Minneapolis.

Bilal Saleem, also known as Mr. B, is the owner of B’s Barbershop in the St. Paul skyway.
