Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco salon visit caught on camera, raises ire of business owner: ‘No one else can go in, and I can’t work’

California guidelines on salons vary by county. While some San Francisco Bay Area counties have moved to allow salons to restart indoor operations, San Francisco is not one of them. And San Francisco did not permit even outdoor salon services until Tuesday.

According to Fox News, the owner of eSalon on Union Street said a stylist who rents space there contacted her Sunday to say Pelosi would be coming in the following day.

“It was a slap in the face that she went in, you know, that she feels that she can just go and get her stuff done while no one else can go in, and I can’t work,” salon owner Erica Kious told Fox News.

The salon did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Mercury News.
