Marin County Public Health is allowing certain personal care services offered outdoors. Nail salons, massage therapy, esthetic services, cosmetology and skin care services can reopen outdoors effective immediately. Indoor and outdoor services for tattooing, piercing and electrolysis must remain closed because of Marin’s status on the State of California’s County Monitoring List. Please contact the Town for a free permit to operate outdoors (see below).

All Marin businesses must complete and implement a Site-Specific Protection Plan (also known as Revised Appendix A) prior to reopening. The plan should include industry specific guidance mandated by the State of California. Nail salons, massage therapy, esthetic services, skin care and cosmetology businesses operating outdoors should follow the guidance for personal care services provided outdoors provided by the state. In addition, the state provides a checklist for personal care services provided outdoors to guide a business owner through the modifications needed to transition traditionally indoor personal services businesses to an outdoor environment. Once complete, businesses should post their completed Site-Specific Protection Plan for customers and employees to review.
