Re: "Alternative Atmosphere" Hair Salon
Dear Mr. LaJoye:
Thank you for your January 2, 1996, inquiry about locating a hair salon that will provide
hairstyling services in an alternative atmosphere. You state that the hairstylists would wear.
non - revealing lingerie, which would reveal nothing more than would a bikini, and that this
clothing would conform to the city's indecent exposure laws. Please be advised that Federal
Way City Code (FWCC), Section 6 -237, criminalizes indecent exposure. A copy of this code
section is attached with this letter.
I am also enclosing a copy of the section of the FWCC which defines adult entertainment.
Based on your description, the proposal does not appear to meet this definition. Hair salons are
allowed in the Neighborhood Business (BN), Community Business (BC), and City Center (CC)
zoning districts. Enclosed are sections of the FWCC pertaining to zoning requirements for hair
salons within these zoning districts. It may be advisable to visit our office and look at the
current zoning map in order to determine where these zoning districts are located.
Please also be advised that the city adopted a new comprehensive plan in December 1995, and
there will be changes in the near future to both the existing zoning map and the standards and
permit requirements as they relate to commercial zoning districts such as those within which
hair salons are allowed.
If you desire to pursue the location of a hair salon in the City of Federal Way, we recommend
that you either call or stop by our office to talk to a planner who can answer any questions that
you may have. Without more detailed information, it is not possible to respond more fully to
your inquiry.

I would like to open a Hair Salon that will provide hairstyles in an alternative atmosphere for
customers. To achieve this sought after atmosphere, the stylists will have non - revealing lingerie for
a uniform. I am defining non - revealing as nothing more than what a bikini would show on a public
beach. The stylists uniforms will comply with your applicable indecent exposure laws. Please
respond with clarification of zoning and permit requirements to conduct business within your city
limits.
Thank You For Your Cooperation
