Dallas salon opens for business despite COVID-19 stay-at-home order

DALLAS - A Dallas salon owner is now open for business, despite a county order that says her non-essential business must stay closed.

Shelley Luther, owner of Salon a La Mode, says she’s had enough and is willing to go to jail over the debate if it were to ever come down to that. With Luther's business being open for business, it also meant she also opened it up to local officials, who she said delivered a citation, along with a cease and desist letter for going against the county’s order that prohibits her non-essential business from reopening.

“I’m not closing,” she said. “Because all of the small business owners need to have some sort of voice, and we need to stand up for what’s right or we’ll continue to get our freedom taken away.”

The salon owner says she missed a mortgage payment on her home and has 19 employees who need to work.

Governor Abbott has been a disappointment. He should have shut Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins down long ago.

Jenkins was such an a**hole during the Ebola fiasco in Dallas that it’s amazing he made it through that debacle. He must know something about someone important.

A goose stepping police SWAT raid on a hair salon would be very poor optics.

I agree. I’m very disappointed with him. He has allowed all of this to drag out way longer than necessary.

My barber is self-employed. He doesn't get unemployment. He has stayed open. Fortunately, here in Phoenix barbers are considered "essential" under hygiene.

The only offices that have been overwhelmed during the Coronavirus is the unemployment offices. I bet the employees who work claims are drinking at their desks. (Hmm, I wonder if they are hiring?)

I went and got a “bootleg” haircut today. It wasn’t in Clay Jenkins’ jurisdiction, but was still risking someone’s state-issued license. People have bills to pay - and I don’t need my 1970s hairstyle back.

Video - at 50 seconds in, this is what defiance looks like to illegal orders. People would do well to replicate it.
