The survival of Tattoo professionals is at risk. We are facing Grave financial hardship.

THE SURVIVAL OF STYLISTS, BARBERS & PROFESSIONALS IN THE BEAUTY INDUSTRY ARE AT RISK. WE ARE FACING GRAVE FINANCIAL HARDSHIP AND NEED ASSISTANCE. WE PROVIDE AN ESSENTIAL SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITY...

Servicing one client at a time (while wearing a mask & gloves) poses little to no risk of spreading the virus, as compared to 20 or more people in a grocery store or 10 plus people at restaurants picking up food.

Landlords are still requiring us to pay our building leases and other bills but our stylists /artists are unable to afford to pay rent. Shop owners are severely suffering! We do NOT want to lose our businesses or go into debt to keep our business open. Image such hair, nails, skin, massage and tattoos etc... is important to clients due their confidence, self-esteem, and even mental health.

Beauty professionals are facing hard times financially during this crisis. These businesses should be deemed as essential since they serve the community. Beauty professional survival is at risk. In addition to this, salons aid the public in personal hygiene, which is important for health and social reasons. Good personal hygiene benefits one’s own health and the health of those around them by keeping hands, feet, and body clean to limit the spread of illness and germs.

100% of the Licensed Hair Salons and Barbershops in Pennsylvania have been abruptly shut down since the onset of the Coronavirus quarantine, even though safe measures could have been considered and taken to prevent a total shutdown. Many other businesses, such as certain Cabinet Companies, Ice cream shops, beer stores, coffee shops, etc., were deemed “essential” and left alone to operate, knowing that these businesses would most likely allow for more than one person at a given time to congregate in unsanitary, uncontrolled environments. Also knowing that it is almost impossible for those aforementioned “essential businesses” to host controlled appointments as licensed hair salons and barbershops were immediately capable of doing. I ask that those In agreement petition for all licensed hair salons and barbershops to immediately be one of the first businesses on the list to reopen. So far the petitioning has been very active and positive. I am happy to announce that in the great terms of fairness, several companies, businesses originally given “essential status”, were finally rescinded and closed.....to include The Wolf cabinet company and a candy store owned by a Senate majority leader. It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, but rather the size of the fight in the dog.

President Trump has halted US funding of the World Health Organization (WHO) as he blames them for the spread of COVID-19. As cases top 2 million and deaths are climbing, now is not the time to pull funding from this organization that serves citizens all over the globe. There will be time after we have a handle on this crisis, to review the WHO's performance and make corrections for the future. In the meantime, the President, by pulling funds, is endangering our lives and those of our global community.
