Nail salons, massages among latest to resume as Sacramento County amends health order
Nail salons, massage therapists, tattoo parlors and a number of other types of personal services businesses are allowed to reopen in Sacramento County, which formally amended its coronavirus public health order Friday.
As of noon, the county is allowing the following activities to resume, with certain adaptations to their procedures required related to social distancing, mask use and sanitation:
▪ Nail salons
▪ Tattoo parlors
▪ Massage therapy
▪ Estheticians
▪ Waxing
▪ Body art
▪ Piercing
All of these businesses are allowed to reopen “only with strict social distancing” measures in place, the local order says, and they must also adhere to the statewide face covering mandate issued Thursday by Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office.
The governor’s office permitted the latest round of Phase 3 reopenings to begin Friday for 53 of the 58 counties in California that have “self-attested” reopening plans. The businesses join establishments like movie theaters and bars, which were allowed to reopen throughout most of the state as of June 12, as well as retail shopping, dine-in restaurants hair salons and barbershops, which have been phased back in since late May.
Nearby Yolo and Solano counties are also permitting more types of of personal care services to return to business as of Friday.
