Dozens of protesters wave signs and flags to show support for Glamour Salon owner Lindsey Graham, who opened her salon today despite Gov. Kate Brown's stay-at-home order, in downtown Salem on May 5, 2020.

The owner of Glamour Salon in Salem said she is going be hit with a $14,000 fine after opening her business too early.

Lindsay Graham is facing the hefty fine after opening her business and defying Gov. Kate Brown’s stay-home order. She said her lawyers met with Occupational Safety and Health Administration officials, and they will be issuing her a citation early next week.

Since she reopened her salon in early May, dozens of people have gathered in support of Graham. She said she will have three days to close, or else she will face more fines.

Graham said she will be fighting the citation.

In a news conference, Graham also claimed that Child Protective Services had visited her home. KOIN 6 News has reached out to OSHA for comment and are waiting to hear back.
