Modifications Required to Protect Californians against COVID-19<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/i>Only Permitted Activities Are Those During Which Barber or Stylist and Client
\nCan Both Wear a Cloth Face Covering Throughout, Such as Haircuts, Hair Coloring, Weaves and Braids<\/p>\n

Shaving, Facial Waxing, Threading and Facials Not Permitted at This Time<\/i><\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

SACRAMENTO \u2013 The California Department of Public Health today announced that counties that have attested to meeting the criteria for accelerated re-opening may re-open hair salons and barbershops with modifications such as mandatory face coverings for both barbers or stylists and clients. State public health leaders noted that Californians staying at home and exercising caution when out helped flatten the COVID-19 curve. Public health leaders acknowledge that today\u2019s announcement is also possible based on statewide indicators such as PPE, testing capacity, hospital surge capacity and hospitalizations.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

Permitted activities include services that can be provided with both the worker and customer wearing face coverings throughout the service. These include haircuts, hair coloring, blowouts, weaves and extensions, braiding, lock maintenance, wig maintenance and hair relaxing treatments.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

Salon activities that cannot be done with face coverings on both the worker and client \u2013 or that require touching the client\u2019s face \u2013 such as shaving, facial waxing, threading, eyelash services and facials \u2013 remain prohibited at this time in all counties. Likewise, nail salons remain closed.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

\u201cTogether, Californians have limited infections in our state, and because of that work, many counties may make a decision to restart modified hair and barber services,\u201d said Dr. Sonia Angell, State Public Health Officer and Director of the California Department of Public Health. \u201cHowever,\u00a0COVID-19 is still present in our communities and we are still at risk. As we venture outside our homes, it is critically important to keep physical distance, wear face coverings in public, and wash hands frequently to help protect yourself and those around you.\u201d<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

Under the\u00a0new guidance<\/a>\u00a0to reopen, salons and barbers must:<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Implement measures to ensure physical distancing of at least six feet between and among workers and customers, except when providing haircutting and other close contact services.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Provide temperature and\/or symptom screenings for all workers at the beginning of their shift and any vendors, contractors, or other workers entering the establishment.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Encourage workers and customers who are sick or exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19 to stay home.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Screen customers upon arrival and be prepared to cancel or reschedule customers who indicate they have any signs of illness.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Require workers and customers to use face coverings during the entire haircutting and other close contact hair services.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n
