Hair salons and restaurants in Iowa are now open for business as part of Governor Kim Reynold’s plan to move the economy forward.


It comes with safety regulations in place.


A hair stylist must wear a mask when working and clients are required to do the same.

“We have a great first day with some of our favorite clients and it went smooth and well and we still had fun and a good time and it felt like home,” said Taylor Jarrin Roberson, Royal T’s Beauty Parlor Owner.

The salon must limit the number of customers to 50-percent of it’s maximum capacity, along with taking appointments in advance.

Restaurants restrictions have also been lifted but with certain regulations as well.

There’s a limit to party size, no more than six people are allowed to sit together.

Dan Bush is the co-owner at Armored Gardens in Davenport and said his customers are glad to be dining in again.

“We saw a ton of faces we actually had to cap the door a couple of times to keep under our 50- percent capacity it was a whirlwind,” said Bush.

In Iowa, bars will continue to be closed.
