🐰💅🏼🐣HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!🐰💅🏼🐣

To the stylist, nail tech or esthetician debating on continuing to work or go dark. I am with you.

To the stylist/nail tech/esthetician whose eyes get wide and get nervous when your client starts coughing in your chair. I am with you.
To the stylist/nail tech/esthetician fretting over bills and concerns for how will affect us all in the upcoming months. I am with you.

To the stylist/nail tech/esthetician who has to make due because the supply stores have closed but your salon hasn't yet. I am with you.

To the stylist/nail tech/esthetician that is alone in their salon because co-renters and coworkers have taken leave. I am with you.

To the stylist/nail tech/esthetician who stays extra late to ultra sanitize and resanitize just in case. I am with you.

To the stylist/nail tech/esthetician who have empty slots from cancellations, but still need to be there. I am with you.
To the stylist/nail tech/esthetician working on side hussles. I am with you.

We are in one of the oldest professions. We are “real” people! Cosmetology has always been needed and wanted.
Through depression eras to pandemics, there will always be a need for us.
We don't just cut hair, cleanse faces or paint nails. We are the person people come to in crisis.
We are the unofficial listeners and counslers to many. Because we work with people, not just hair/skin/nails. We are your friend, your "therapist", your trusted professional.

When the pandemic finally comes to a head and we start to recover as a world population it will be vital for us to be there for the people.
They will think they need a haircut/a facial/a pedicure, but really they will need to decompress these events.
We will hear similar stories over and over again and each story from each person will affect us. We will carry that energy and transform it into something tangible. Something beautiful and wonderful and it will give people normalcy, comfort and hope.

To my fellow stylist/nail tech/esthetician sisters and brothers... take care of yourself now so you can take care of others later.
I am with you. ❤️

Stay safe. Stay healthy. Stay kind.
