A Dallas salon owner who defied state orders to close her shop amid the CCP virus pandemic has been sentenced to seven days in jail and ordered to pay $500 for each of the seven days the salon was open.

Shelley Luther’s business, Salon a la Mode, has been open as usual since April 24, in violation of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s shelter-in-place orders as well as those from county and city officials prohibiting hair salons and other so-called “non-essential” businesses from operating in an effort to stem the spread of the virus.
