Yes, its possible to get infected via razors or trimmers used in the Salon provided the razors were used on a HIV positive person earlier. Also there has to be a cut / bruise on the skin for the virus to enter one's body. If these above conditions are met , then its likely. Otherwise the chances are less likely.

if you have any questions you should go meet a doctor personally and have a chat.
