Mountain View businesses reeling as gyms, hair salons are suddenly forced to again shut down
Other personal care businesses got the bad news early. Sherin Lee, owner of the downtown Face-N-Body beauty salon, said much of the services she provides are expressly prohibited in the county's reopening plans. Nail and hair salons got the green light, but it turns out that things like eyelash extensions and facials -- pretty much anything near the face -- were banned even in the Monday reopening plans.
"What's annoying is they told everybody that personal services can open up, so even our clients thought we were opening," Lee said. "Once you dig into the 10-page document, it says that it's prohibited. It gave our clients false hope."
