Business Owners Beauty Salons, Tattoos and Piercings
As the owner and/or operator of a beauty salon, tattoo studio or other personal service establishment, you need to follow the personal service regulations outlined in the O. Reg. 136/18 Personal Service Settings.
These regulations include what types of services are prohibited, setting requirements, inspection results and more.
COVID-19 restrictions and guidance
As of April 8, 2021, at 12:01 a.m., a Stay-at-Home order is in effect for all of Ontario, including Huron Perth. This means that you must stay at home and only go out for essential purposes, such as going to the grocery store or pharmacy, accessing health care services (including getting vaccinated or for COVID-19 testing), for outdoor exercise or walking pets, attending childcare, or for work that cannot be done remotely. Businesses must ensure that all employees work from home if they can.
Do not travel outside your region, or the province, unless absolutely necessary. Learn more about the public health measures and restrictions during the state of emergency and Stay-at-Home order.
