How has your business/workflow been effected? Do you see yourself bouncing back fully or do you see a shift in your business/career?
The salon was closed Monday March 16th and it was swift and immediate. What was hard was thinking it was only going to be 2 weeks and being told time after time different dates of when we can “get back to normal”. Then slowly realizing there was going to be no such thing. I stopped rebooking clients and have only been cancelling them. And that in itself is hard to do. Canceling away all that time. Slowly seeing your schedule open and empty and turning people away. I didn’t want to keep cancelling to reschedule just to turn around and cancel again.

If you were to sit on a panel with Oprah and Michelle Obama, what would you want the discussion topic to be on?

Is there anything you'd like to share or words of encouragement for those who may be having a very challenging time during this pandemic?
Sometimes there are no words, from another person, that can ease the pain But what’s helped me is journaling. Having those conversations with myself and being honest with myself has been comforting.
