Well it’s been a crazy year so far. There has been a few big bummers, with one of the biggest ones being Covid-19. Many of this years tragedies affected people lives and the salon is definitely feeling the effects of Corona. At this time the salon is currently closed. Although we are anticipating just a temporary closure it was still a tough decision to make. From a financial point of view? Yikes (cleanest word to use here). From a human point of view? No brainer. While I’m saddened for my staff and clients (I can’t shake the feeling that I somehow let them down or failed them), I ultimately know that closure was the best and only thing I could do to protect them. While I obsessively combed the internet seeing underground hairdressers still operating it really got me thinking about business and ethics. I’ve always strove to operate as ethically as I could. Balancing the need to make a profit and also maintain my morals and values. This hasn’t always been easy. My dad always said “whatever decision you make, just make sure you can look at yourself in a mirror and be happy with who you see” I’m satisfied with who I see. Closing is a major sacrifice for your community, and your community will thank you when things get rolling again. For everyone who has been there with me through the years I thank you for your loyalty and love. All of us at Stevie P’s will miss you, and will see you all soon xoxo
few of us are missing 🙂
Stephanie, you are in my prayers. I hope your landlord is as compassionate as you are and let’s you off the hook for rent till you can reopen. We your clients will always be there. You can depend on us when you reopen. In the meantime enjoy the time you have to spend with your family. And remember, everything happens for a reason. God always has a plan !!!
Thank you Citha! I hope so too lol. I look forward to all the wonderful conversations, and people that have become an important part of my life. I know God is in control and it’ll all work out. 🙂 See ya soon
You are doing the right thing for your own health, the heath of your patrons and your family and humanity . I am on temporary lay off and not sure when I will be back at work Quite frankly I’m relieved not to be in close contact with people. If I have a skunk stripe for a while so be it! Stay safe and healthy everyone!
Thank you so much! I wish for all of this to be over soon and things go back to normal. Ill miss everyone, but a forced vacation isn’t too bad. 🙂
