Morena senators Cynthia López Castro and Andrea Chávez Treviño distanced themselves from the Senate's clandestine beauty salon, which was recently suspended, and urged the press to focus on relevant legislative matters. PVEM Senator Juanita Guerra, caught using the service, accused her peers of lacking sorority and requested transparency regarding its operations. Guerra paid 500 pesos for a dye job and suggested her exposure stems from political harassment.
The clandestine beauty salon in Mexico's Senate, suspended by the president of the Board of Political Coordination, has sparked tensions among female legislators. Morena Senators Cynthia López Castro and Andrea Chávez Treviño categorically denied promoting the service during an interview after a commissions meeting. “Absolutely false, false,” they stated in unison. López Castro, representing Chihuahua, added: “I do my hair at home.” They urged the press to move on and focus on issues like the 40-hour workweek reform. “There are more relevant Senate matters; do your professional duty and report to the public,” said López Castro.
PT Senator Geovanna de la Torre tried to distance herself during the encounter, but the Morena senators kept her there. Regarding accusations from PVEM Senator Juanita Guerra, who was caught dyeing her hair during a session, Chávez avoided a direct response and left annoyed, exclaiming “What barbarity!” Guerra, in an interview before commissions, expressed sadness over the lack of sorority: “It saddens me that instead of sorority, not even a question.” She accused those who invited her of denying knowledge of the place and demanded clarity from the board, led by Laura Itzel Castillo, on the furniture installation, the stylist Yasmín's arrival, and the fees. She formalized the request in writing and asked to deduct the day from her salary.
Guerra paid 500 pesos for the service, the only time she used it. López Castro claimed to have sent an empathetic message to Guerra over the image's dissemination, viewing it as an act of violence, but Guerra denied receiving it. The PVEM senator linked the incident to harassment following complaints against Cuauhtémoc Blanco and Cuautla's mayor, and recalled an attack in July 2025. Andrea Chávez had previously denied requesting the salon's reopening.
