Cuba handing beauty, barber shops over to workers
HAVANA (Reuters) - Communist Cuba is turning over hundreds of state-run barber shops and beauty salons to employees across the country in what appears to be the start of a long-expected revamping of state retail services by President Raul Castro.

The measure marks the first time state-run, retail-level establishments have been handed over to employees since they were nationalized in 1968.

Barbers and hair dressers in telephone interviews from a number of cities during the weekend said they would now rent the space where they work and pay taxes instead of receiving a monthly wage
