Let the clipping ‘n snipping begin Seguin hair, nail salons reopen for business By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera (Seguin) – Thousands of hair stylists and barbers will be picking up their shears and clippers today. Nail salons and other beauty businesses will also be in operation as today marks the second phase for Governor Greg Abbot’s Open Texas plan.

We will not be seeing walk-in clients unless there is room for someone to come in the door safely. We have plenty of room in our salon because we only have five stylists so we have a lot of room between our stylists and our clients and we've asked clients to
