there are very few states that have not called for the closing of all hair salons, barbershops, nail salons, and any business that offers cosmetology services to clients. Because of this state by state closure, there are mixed feelings on this topic across the nation.

Cosmetologists and their clients in states that have ordered all beauty salons to close are voicing their opinion. Some are very understanding considering the situation, but others feel it is discriminatory against this industry since liquor stores and other questionable businesses have been deemed essential by the government. 

On the other hand, cosmetologists that work in states that have not called for the closing of all beauty salons are voicing their opinion, too. Many of them are happy to have the opportunity to continue working assuming all required safety measures are taken, but some feel they are being forced to put themselves at risk of contracting the virus. If salons haven’t been ordered to close, clients expect to get their hair done as usual. This puts a lot of pressure on the cosmetologist, and some are unhappy about that. 

Considering that so many beauty salons are privately owned, the Coronavirus pandemic is setting an extremely large number of cosmetologists back. Owning and running a business that relies solely on physical client interaction during this time is so stressful because there is no online or virtual outlet to help stylists stay on their feet. The uncertainty of the Coronavirus pandemic has us all questioning what the future looks like for our personal and professional lives. Things are changing day by day, and there is good news beginning to trickle in behind the devastating headlines. To accompany your daily dose of good news, beauty salons all across the nation will prosper once this blows over since so many people will be in need of a root touchup and a fresh set of nails. We are holding out hope!
