CHICAGO (CBS)– Phase 3 of Governor JB Pritzker’s Restore Illinois plan begins Friday, allowing some businesses to reopen, with limited capacity.
One salon in the southwest suburbs opened its doors just after midnight to customers waiting to get their first haircut in months.
Two salons at the Bolingbrook Promenade couldn’t wait any minute longer and reopened at 12: 01 a.m. They took clients by appointments only and will now have to work under new health and safety guidelines.
