IOWA Hair Salons/One Client At A Time (Soft Opening May 1st)
Allow a licensed beauty professional to perform a beauty service/ privately with one client in the salon / per stylist at a time starting as of Friday, May 1st, 2020. All necessary precautions and sanitation protocols approved by the state of Iowa 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 the independent beauty professionals is at risk. We are facing a grave financial hardship. The main part of our industry are self employed independent contractors. The funding has run out with thousands of people left no way of assistance! Unemployment is overwhelmed and not coming thru as promised. We are left with no way to provide for our families and risk loosing everything.
