A Barber Shop’s Handwritten Closure Notice in Minneapolis
Handwritten closure notice taped to a barber shop door in Minneapolis during the March 2020 COVID-19 pandemic shutdown.
The handwritten sign cites "the current pandemic" as the reason the barber shop closed "till further notice," asking customers to contact their personal barber or call a listed number for options. Minneapolis barbershops and salons were ordered closed under Minnesota's statewide stay-at-home order, issued March 25, 2020, which classified personal grooming services as non-essential. Many small shops, without the staff or systems for remote booking, relied on notes like this one to keep clients informed while the order remained in effect.
