Minnesota's salons and barbershops have been open, but how's it going?
Gov. Tim Walz gets his haircut by Erin Diede as he stopped in the morning at Capitol Barbers in the Minnesota State Office Building on Friday, June 5, 2020, in St. Paul. Walz went for a haircut and then toured some of the sites where vandalism occurred during the George Floyd protests.
