Runs Businesses With Scissors

Dear Clients and Friends, Please help. In Alameda County my industry has been extremely hard hit by Covid-19.   On Monday June 29 I spoke with both the Alameda County Public Health Department, ACPHD and the Profe ssional Beauty Association, PBA .   Both of these organizations confirmed the complex challenges that hairstylists, barbers, manicurists and estheticians are facing as we approach four months of being closed. Technicians want and need to work, clients want and need services.   It is no surprise that the underground, back yard, secret salon services exist and are increasing in numbers. Most salon owners and technicians, including myself, refuse to participate in the aforementioned scenario, however, we do understand the necessity for some of making money during a time like this.   Sadly many technicians do not have resources or documentation to qualify for resources.   Also many salons operated on an extremely small profit margin at best. How can you help? Please contact the AC

Dear Clients and Friends,   Thank you for your patience and understanding during this unprecedented time in our lives. I, like you, am anxious to return to my routines.   I am also incredibly cognizant of the recent events in the country and cannot in good conscience ignore how devastating the murder of George Floyd has been to the black community.   I am safe and my home and salon are safe.   LaTasha and Diane are safe.   We are grateful to have each other. We continue to love and support each other during Covid-19’s impact on our businesses and the countries unrest. Governor Gavin Newsom delivered the news that hair salons can open in some counties in California however, Alameda County is not included in this current phase of reopening. There is one more phase before we will be allowed to reopen. You can read more about the various phases for Alameda County here .   If you have a June appointment I will contact you to postpone it and make future arrangements.
