Effective July 13, 2020 Governor Newsom ordered that specific businesses on the county monitoring list must close immediately to reduce the spread of COVID-19. This order applies to all hair salons, barber shops and personal care services (including nail salons, esthetic salons, and electrology offices) that are within the monitored counties. A list of impacted counties around the state is available here: https://covid19.ca.gov/roadmap-counties/

On July 20, 2020 the California Department of Public Health issued guidelines for how barbering and comsetology services can be offered safely outside. The guidelines allow the OPTION for services to be done outside. The guidelines are available here: https://covid19.ca.gov/industry-guidance/#top

The Department of Consumer Affairs and the Board of Barbering and Cosmetology also issued information regarding outside services. The information is available here: https://www.barbercosmo.ca.gov/licensees/salon_reopen.shtml

A checklist for operating outside is available here: https://www.barbercosmo.ca.gov/forms_pubs/outside_checklist.pdf

Please review all information prior to starting any outdoor services. 

We appreciate your patience and understanding during this difficult time. The City of Rohnert Park is committed to supplying its residents and businesses with accurate and up to date information on COVID-19 guidance and resources.
