LET OHIOANS bow their heads and thank the Lord — and Gov. Mike DeWine — that barber shops and beauty salons are finally open again. While we rightly salute the heroes among us, specifically the health care professionals who are fighting the pandemic in the trenches, let us not forget other pros who are finally back in the game — the hair care professionals.
