Senate's beauty salon closes permanently; 'they must get ready at home': Ignacio Mier
The Senate has permanently closed its beauty salon, requiring female senators to prepare for sessions at home, according to Ignacio Mier.
The Senate's leadership has decided to permanently close a beauty salon that was reopened at the beginning of the current legislative term. This decision means that female senators will now have to prepare themselves at home instead of using the salon facilities. Ignacio Mier, the president of the Senate's Board of Political Coordination, announced this decision during a press conference, indicating that the salon had become a topic of significant public interest, which influenced the decision to terminate its operation.
The closure of the salon has resulted in the loss of employment for the stylist who worked there during sessions. Mier expressed concern for the stylist, who he described as a hardworking mother supporting her family, highlighting the impact of this decision on her livelihood. The salon had a basic setup with limited equipment, and the stylist utilized personal tools to perform her job, further emphasizing her dedication and professionalism despite the modest circumstances.
This development in the Senate reflects broader themes of economic challenges and employment instability, particularly for those working in support roles within government settings. The move has sparked discussions about gender roles and workplace support within legislative contexts, with implications for how women in politics manage their professional and personal lives against traditional expectations.
