NYS - One Client at a Time
Allow a licensed beauty and barber professional to perform a service privately, with one client/stylist in the salon at time, (staggering shifts when necessary), starting Thursday May 1, 2020. All necessary precautions and sanitation protocols approved by the state of NY and the local boards of health will be followed. Our industry needs to be recognized and deemed an essential business so we may serve our communities. We are trained in disinfection and sanitation as part of our licensing requirements. Servicing one client at a time, while wearing masks and gloves, poses little to no risk of spreading the virus as compared to 20 or more people in a grocery store or 10 people picking up take out food.
Why is this important?
The survival of independent beauty and barber professionals and the financial devastation caused by the forced closure of our businesses.
