TO: NY GOVERNOR ANDREW CUOMO Hair Salons/One Client At A Time (Soft Opening April 27th)

The Issue

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 Monday, April 27, 2020. All necessary precautions and sanitation protocols approved by the state of NY 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.
