That quarantine haircut you gave yourself was your promise to the hairdressers of Minnesota: When this is over, there will be work for you to do.
It is not over. But as more and more people get vaccinated, more and more customers return, masked and shaggy, to turn their distressed tresses over to a professional. Everyone is just super-excited to be back in the salon, getting glam again, not doing their own bangs, said Faatemah Ampey, owner of SuiteSpot Salonspa, a chic and airy space overlooking the corner of Lake and Lyndale.
