Default Hair Under Polyurethane

I just had my hardwood floors refinished, and a single, short, curly
hair (about 3/4" long) must have fallen onto the floor prior to the
last coat of poly, and now it is beneath that coat of poly. *It sort-
of catches the light when you walk in and out of the room, so it is
quite noticable.

Is there any way to remove the hair (which is just beneath the
surface) without damaging the finish? *If not, is there any way to
hide the disturbance to the finish? *(Maybe one of those floor
cleaning solutions with poly?)


Nope and nope. Anything you do to remove it will probably make the
blemish even more noticeable. The "sort of catches the light"
problems might "sort of never be noticed by anyone else". If you do
decide to pick it out, be prepared to spot sand and add another coat
if it does become more objectionable. If you put down gloss poly and
the hair is in a trafficked area, the scuffs and scratches of every
day living will quickly make it less noticeable.
