Nothing have the edge off of getting a new haircut like a glass of Champagne , and blowouts only get practiced with a prissy Pinot Noir . That ’s why higher - ending salons across the area have incur in the habit of offer customers a deoxyephedrine of something with an ABV . Now , however a legal battle is heating up in the California Legislature that threatens this highly polite arrangement .
Last twelvemonth , in a victory for all things good and decent , the California Assembly nemine contradicente go past AB 1322 , officially let salons to supply loose drink to of - age customer . But the bill ( jazz as the DryBAR flier thanks to the high - end salon leading the boot ) , is now receiving pushback from various group on the grounds of public health and safety .
Most notably , alcohol watchdog groupAlcohol Justiceis pushing California regulator Jerry Brown to prohibit the flyer , contend that it will raise the cost of beauty shop services and “ perilously leave the serving of alcohol by unlicensed clientele with no good enforcement or regulations . ”

AsEaterpoints out , this bill would function as a first step in regulating an already widespread practice , while throttle the maximum amount of inebriant service to each customer ( six ounces of wine or 12 oz. of beer ) .
Alcohol Justice is also convert that , if pass along , the bill would lead to an increase in “ alcoholic drink - related damage ” throughout the state ’s 4,200 - plus salons , going so far as to evoke studies in its “ Action Alert ” that relate alcoholic drink to chest cancer and to include commentary from a 15 - year - erstwhile in apress acquittance : " A muckle of kids come to barbershop and salons and this neb will allow sluttish admission and it ’s a bad example . "
In our experience , wine and beer are n’t self - service in beauty parlor and minor ’s access is at best a minor issue .
Here ’s hoping DryBAR hold in this glorious struggle . We do n’t want to exist in a universe with rosé - free bang trim .
