There is a decree that will be presented which will indicate which places and businesses can remain open and which must close. It will indicate, in particular, for the question of hairdressers, that they can remain open.

", "Whatever… we can move around normally during the day, hairdressers remain open as well as many other businesses, we can even meet our friends in parks and gardens! "," Hairdressers are essential businesses? First news", Internet users wrote in particular.

“Hairdressers will be able to remain open with a reinforced health protocol,” says Gabriel Attal. Ridiculous because if there is a business where you are for hours and in close proximity to the hairdresser, this is it.
