Hair salons cleared to reopen, but most Bay Area counties don’t make the cut

Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Tuesday that 47 counties across the state, including Solano and Napa counties, can reopen hair salons and barbershops with strict public health and safety guidelines.

Newsom said the relaxed COVID-19 shelter-in-place guidelines for salons and barbershops would apply to the state’s 47 counties that have filed attestation forms with the California Department of Public Health, asserting that they meet minimum standards for factors like testing capacity and hospitalizations.
