On April 5, following a continued decline in new COVID-19 cases, the county moved into the less restrictive Orange Tier as part of the state’s Blueprint for a Safer Economy. Under the revised Health Order issued by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (Public Health), capacity limits were increased, and restrictions loosened across most sectors. Personal care establishments such as hair salons, nail salons, aestheticians offering skincare and cosmetology services can now open to 75 percent capacity.
Protocols for personal care include mandatory face coverings, symptom checks and sanitizing per the California Board of Barbering and Cosmetology guidelines. For workers who provide services that require clients to remove their face mask, such as facials, waxing, makeup or shaves, a face shield must be worn in addition to a mask. Any indoor shower, sauna, steam room, or hot tub area remains closed.
