You have to be patient as we all volunteer our time here and expectations of immediate reply are not fair to have.

I'll try to answer since you haven't gotten one yet and seem anxious about it.  Hepatitis B's potential to be spread in a barber shop or hair salon is really low in worst case scenarios at around 2 to 5% overall risk.  They are mostly talking about razor risks.  You can't get hep B from eating utensils so guessing stone is similar issues.  You are worried about using a stone he used on other people?  Think this is going to be a non risk worry although dried blood can transmit.   https://www.cdc.gov/hepatitis/hbv/bfaq.htm  That link from the Center of Disease Control may help you.  And here's a really simple slide show showing that rally low risk of hepatitis transmission from barber shops  https://www.webmd.com/hepatitis/ss/slideshow-risks  What they are normally talking about for risk there is cutting instruments and you say he used a new blade.   I wouldn't be worried.  What about getting the hepatitis B vaccine?
