Taking another significant step to re-energizing the state economy, Gov. Gavin Newsom moved California firmly into the third phase of his four-part reopening plan, announcing that hair salons and barbershops in 47 of the state’s 58 counties can reopen immediately.

Although the economic impact may be limited — and under most Bay Area counties’ stricter rules, shears and scissors will stay silent for now — Newsom’s move signals a growing comfort with activities that require people to interact in close physical proximity. The move to further ease California’s coronavirus restrictions came a day after Newsom announced new rules allowing churches to reopen, but with no more than 25% of capacity or 100 people.
