Jo Kennedy, of JK Hair, said her business was still open and was operating as "new normal".
"We are getting a number of calls asking if we are shut," she said.
"People are getting mixed up between metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria.
"Today (Thursday) alone we have received 15-20 calls asking if we are still open for business."
Mrs Kennedy said there were restrictions to operating the business, but mostly to do with hygiene and the number of people in the salon at once.
"Everyone has been really good and waited outside until we've finished cleaning everything down," she said.
"We've been very cautious within the salon, not only for the staff but for the customers and community as well.
"We haven't accepted any new clients or people we don't know and are certainly not taking any clients that are from any of the hotspot places."
