Mayor Lori Lightfoot defended getting a haircut over the weekend even though barbers and stylists were shut down under the state’s stay-at-home order, saying she’s the face of the city and the woman who cut her hair wore a mask.
Asked about photos on social media showing her with a stylist, Lightfoot acknowledged getting a haircut, then said the public cares more about other issues.
“I think what really people want to talk about is, we’re talking about people dying here.
A reporter asked the mayor about one of her “stay home, save lives” public service announcements where Lightfoot admonishes an off-screen person by saying, "Getting your roots done is not essential.”
Asked about that, a visibly annoyed Lightfoot said, “I’m the public face of this city. I’m on national media and I’m out in the public eye.
“I’m a person who, I take my personal hygiene very seriously. As I said, I felt like I needed to have a haircut,” Lightfoot said. “I’m not able to do that myself, so I got a haircut. You want to talk more about that?”
Socialist Ald. Carlos Ramirez-Rosa, 35th, criticized Lightfoot’s explanation for the haircut.
“She is under no obligation to look good on national TV. She is under no obligation to book national interviews. But she is under an obligation to follow and promote social distancing in order to save lives,” Ramirez-Rosa, a frequent Lightfoot critic, tweeted. “This is a bad example for our city.”
Asked about Lightfoot’s haircut, Gov. J.B. Pritzker said he couldn't speak to the mayor's situation but hasn't had a trim since the stay-at-home order.
“I’m going to turn into a hippie at some point,” he said.

The world is truly turned upside down. Now I find myself in complete agreement with a socialist.
personal hygiene is staying clean, getting your roots done is pure vanity.
Tell this moron to give her BS to someone else this is her vanity showing.
Tone deaf bitch. Women are going to remember this, and they vote too. No issue too petty, revenge coming.
‘Wore a mask and gloves’, ya know, like a witch doctor.

Fauci’s hair always looks nearly trimmed. Mine isn’t.
Our grandparents and great grandparents were not wrong. They warned us to “Beware of short haired women and long haired men.”
The scholar Deborah Pergament has written that hair’s cultural and historic implications can be legally significant. “Inferences and judgments about a person’s morality, sexual orientation, political persuasion, religious sentiments and, in some cultures, socio-economic status,” she notes, “can sometimes be surmised by seeing a particular hairstyle.”
