SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. — The State Department of Public Health this afternoon, June 12, issued guidance that will allow nail salons, tattoo studios, and other personal care services to open back up beginning June 19.

The guidance applies to esthetician, skin care, and cosmetology services; electrology; nail salons; body art professionals, tattoo parlors, and piercing shops; and massage therapy in non-healthcare settings.

This guidance is intended to support a safe, clean environment for workers and customers.

California has added community (i.e., public) swimming pools and movie theaters with limited capacity to schools day camps, bars, gyms, libraries, and other sectors to begin reopening today.

These are among several Stage 3 businesses and activities the State Department of Public Health is allowing to reopen in those counties that have met certain thresholds on the number of cases, testing and preparedness.  

The state has issued guidance documents for these new sectors:
