“Masks on” at Cutting Crew

Cutting Crew employees Cindy Sherwood, Nikki Hall (McNutt’s daughter), Amber Greene, Kelly Henry and Andrea Chesney prepare to reopen the salon after almost a two month closure due to Covid-19.

Randi McNutt, the owner of Cutting Crew Family Haircare, was shut down the last week of March due to Covid-19.

As of May 11, the shop is reopened, but things are a far cry from normal.

“We are wearing masks and our customers are too,” said McNutt.

Cutting Crew employs five staff members in the Maynardville shop and also has a salon in Blaine. McNutt says even with extended salon hours they are booked a week out.

Employees are taking extra precautions and are sanitizing between every customer.

“Our most common request right now is haircuts. Most days we are able to see 50-60 customers a day because all employees are working, and we are open 10 hours a day.”

The shop is celebrating 16 years in Maynardville and is commemorating their anniversary with giveaways.

“We have awesome customers and have been very blessed in Maynardville.”

Cutting Crew Family Haircare is located at 2945 Maynardville Hwy. and can be reached at 992-5757. The shop is open Tuesday-Friday 9am-7pm, and Saturday 9am-5pm.
