Abstract
The Lei do Salão Parceiro (Salon Partner Law) was approved in 2016 under speeches of flexibilization and formalization of autonomous work. However, the pejotização of workers has been one of its effects and it has been studied as work precariousness. This research aimed to characterize the perception of manicurists and hairdressers on their work experiences, and to confront it with the arguments present in the law proposal. For this, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 11 hairdressers and manicurists, and applied hermeneutic-dialectical analysis. The results indicated three meaning units: Marketing and occupational characterization; Labor traditions in the beauty sector; and Reality after the Lei do Salão Parceiro. They pointed to the absence of a real autonomy in the transition and in the work practice as beauty salon partner, and to the misinformation about the legal figure of the individual microentrepreneur.
