Necessity is the mother of invention, as the saying goes. And, what can be more necessary than a haircut to make you feel well-groomed and presentable during times like the COVID lockdown. And, voila, from the inventive mind of barber Edwin Ramirez in Union City, NJ comes what may be a pretty inventive solution to the dilemma of how to get your hair cut and styled at a socially safe distance, reports the Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC]. His contraption may just fit the bill. It’s a portable Plexiglas shield that lets stylists get up close and personal so they can safely coif away by putting their combs and scissors through generous portals. Ramirez has faith in his patent-pending invention; he’s putting together 30 of his shields a day so he can supply salons far and wide.
