Allow Hair Salons/Barber shops ... One client at a time (soft opening )
Allow a licensed beauty professional to perform a beauty service/ privately with one client in the salon / per stylist at a time. All necessary precautions and sanitation protocols approved by the state of LA and the local Board of Health will be followed. Our industry needs to be recognized & deemed as an essential business so we can better serve our community.
Servicing one client at a time (while wearing a mask & gloves) poses little to no risk of spreading the virus, as compared to 20 or more people in a grocery store or 10 plus people at restaurants picking up food.

Why is this important?
The survival of independent beauty professionals is at risk. Like most of America independent contractors are facing a grave financial hardship. Due to COVID-19 beauty professionals have had their businesses closed down, meaning that their main, and in some cases only source of income has ceased to exist. There is no compensated time off for individuals in this profession and many are now struggling to make ends meet.
