If you appreciate your stylist, miss salon services, and think that having your grooming done in a professional and hygienic way is important, please sign this petition for salons and barbershops to open during the General Community Quarantine (GCQ)!

We are salon workers. We are hairdressers, nail techs, junior stylists, salon managers, inventory clerks and beauty consultants all working in the salon industry. Taking care of your hair, hands, and feet are part of good hygiene, and is very important especially now that there is a pandemic. We have prepared to open our shops during GCQ, as the IATF included barbershops and salons in the list released last April 28 of establishments that allowed to operate. Immediately, we released and implemented new sanitation and guidelines.

On May 13, we were removed from the list.

We have already disinfected our salons, prepared our own personal protective gears, and laid out protocols to keep employees and clients protected. Instead of being able to give services in a safe environment, which could easily monitor contact tracing as well, people are driven to underground service providers. Keeping salons closed endangers us and clients even more.

We hope that the opening of salons and barbershops, especially those with sanitation protocols and guidelines in place, will be reconsidered. Please help us by signing this petition!
