Khorfakkan Municipality in Sharjah has fined and warned 79 salons for failing to comply with health requirements and Covid-19 safety measures.
A top official said the municipality has intensified inspection campaigns during the past five months by visiting 241 ladies' and gents' salons to ensure all standards of service quality were met.
Public health inspectors monitor workers' commitment to wear uniforms, the validity of cosmetics used in the salon, general cleanliness, disposal of garbage on a regular basis and Covid-19 safety regulations, including wearing face masks and using hand sanitisers.
Most salons were fined for failing to sterilise shaving tools and for using towels in an unhygienic manner, the official said.
