In other states like PA, OH, NY etc that have closed bars, restaurants, etc, they specifically call out barbershops and salons to shut down.

In FL the governor did not include salons and barbers ordered to be closed. Hence the owners of these shops are left with the decision of "closing on their own". As a result potentially excluded from any assistance forthcoming.....because they were not ordered to close and closed on their own.

It is a real problem for these shop owners......and oh by the way....just not right. The governor has done a dis-service to these small business owners. How could he not order shutting down of hands on types of businesses.
