Even with new amended rules in place, hair salons in Santa Cruz County are not yet allowed to reopen here. But that is not the case in San Benito, where many salon services where masks can be worn by both the service provider and customer are now available.
Activities now allowed in San Benito and other approved counties include haircuts, hair coloring, blowouts, weaves and extensions, braiding, lock maintenance, wig maintenance, and hair relaxing.
Salons and barbershops will not be allowed to perform services that cannot be done with face coverings or that involve touching the client’s face, such as shaving, facial waxing, threading, eyelash services, and facials.
Santa Cruz County has applied to expand reopening rules and supporting documentation is expected to be presented to state officials next week for their approval.
