Mexican Senate Shuts Beauty Salon in Capitol as Parties Demand Clarity

Senate leaders closed the space pending a Jucopo report on its authorization, funding and oversight.

Overview

  • Senate staff sealed the on-site salon after its operation became public, and political coordinators agreed to its closure.
  • Jucopo chair Ignacio Mier said a formal report on the salon’s functioning will be presented to coordinators on Monday, noting no one has yet assumed responsibility.
  • PVEM leader Manuel Velasco affirmed full backing for Senator Juanita Guerra and said the agreed decision was to close the space, with services previously paid personally by users.
  • Guerra, filmed receiving a hair dye during a session, says she was invited by Morena senators, paid 500 pesos and stayed about 20 minutes, and she has asked to review security cameras and records on who authorized and equipped the site.
  • Some Morena legislators denied promoting the service, while senators from MC and PAN urged transparency and cautioned against stigmatizing users as Guerra reports online harassment, AI-altered images and death threats.
