Adding to his previous executive order declaring a civil emergency, 1st Selectman Jim Marpe has ordered the closure of “salons and other businesses that provide the services of barbers, hairdressers, cosmetologists, nail technicians, estheticians, eyelash technicians, and massage therapists, and salons and businesses that provide similar services.”
His order adds that all those professionals described above “are discouraged from providing such services to customers in homes and other private locations other than for their immediate families.”
The order is effective as of 2 p.m. today (Wednesday, March 18).
Salon 293 — and every other hair and nail establishment in Westport — must close as of 2 p.m. today.
