Is blow drying safe? Do partitions and UV sterilizers actually work? In the absence of federal guidance, every state has taken its own path to reopening salons.

Re-Open to Interpretation: Guidelines or Suggestions? Jun 01, 2020

How should beauty pros interpret industry guidelines when it’s not clear what’s recommended and what's actually required? Guidelines were meant to make the process of reopening our businesses as safe as possible, but instead, they’ve often been confusing. We use examples from California and Illinois to analyze the specific language and discuss the implications for salons and their clients.
