I don't think that will happen. It is illegal to do hair in someone's home in most cases and has been for years.

I don't know any hairdresser who would want to risk getting COVID by going into anyone's home and then possibly passing it to somone else.

That is way too dangerous to do during these times. How would anyone know if the the home has been properly sanitized. Salons have access to the proper sanitation supplies, homes do not.

You say it's illegal. Based on what?

It sounds like you're conflating the two things, and I'm not sure why, but getting take out liquor isn't exposing either party (the shopper and the shop worker) to possible COVID.

But letting a hair stylist into your home potentially exposes both of you. You let someone into your home not knowing what other confacts they have had and what they might be bringing into your home and the stylist doesn't knolw what contacts you have had.

When things first closed here in mid-March I had a new stylist call me (mine had retired only a month before the you know what hit the fan. The new stylist said she was doing housecalls, and this was after salons had been ordered closed. I was not about to have her come into my home and just declined. She could have lost her license by doing this.

Based on laws that apply for hair and nail salons, funeral homes, doctors, nurses and everyone else who holds a state license for health or beauty professions.

You must pass a state board exam that included safety procedures in addition to sanitation techniques. There are no free passes. You have to know the laws 100% before you can get a license.

If you do not obey the laws, you can be fined, have your license suspended or revoked. This is not new.

Also, please know that just in case something goes wrong...there is no insurance that will cover either party...the hairdresser or the patron.

well, maybe your own health insurance...but couldn't sue for damages.
