Hair Salons and Barber Shops Prepare to Open
The much anticipated re-opening of hair salons and barber shops begins on June 1st. Shops will be permitted to open in a limited capacity only if they have completed the certification through the State of Connecticut and have submitted a plan to the Westport Weston Health District for review and approval. First, the business owner/operator should complete the certification that can be found on the State of Connecticut’s Department of Economic and Community Development’s website (https://business.ct.gov/recovery). Next, a plan detailing how the shop will operate safety should be submitted to the Westport Weston Health District for review and approval. Both the State of Connecticut’s certification AND the WWHD’s approval are needed before the business is able to open its doors to clients.
The plan should demonstrate the following:
- DECD certification completed
- Employee training and daily health checks in place
- Cleaning plan and schedule
- Personal Protective Equipment for staff and clients
- Floor plan with adequate spacing requirements
- Schedule and log for employee screening
- Waiting area closed (appointments only)
- Non-essential amenities removed
- Hand washing sink/sanitizer availability
- Flow of service and list of services offered
- Social distancing markers
- Contactless payment
- 2-1-1 hotline signage for reporting violations witnessed by staff or clients
