One client at a time in illinois beauty appointment. Soft opening
Allow a licensed beauty profession to perform a beauty service privately with one client at a time as of May 1, 2020. All necessary precautions and disinfection protocols by governing barber and cosmetology laws. Serving 1 customer at a time is lessening the risk (or no risk) of spreading the virus than going to a grocery store with a lot more than 10 people at one time, resteraunt, or even laundry mats.
Why is this important?
The beauty industry is mainly built on independent self employed people that rely on clients to make money to sustain their income to pay bills, buy groceries and everyday living. The small owner that I d still required to pay the rent and power on the salon that isn't bringing in any money at all is hurting the owner and may shut that business down. Our towns need those businesses and those professionals need the business still open to use their very expensive license to continue to work and provide for their families. We were placed as non- essential, but practicing our craft is essential to not place ourselves in a grave financial hardship and loss of a business.
