Survival of Hair Salons, Stylists, Owners and independent beauty professionals is at risk. We are facing a grave financial hardship. Clients are also having to resort to outside means for grooming, hair cut and color maintenance. This will also prevent a rush to salons when we are actually given a date to reopen, which will protect the community, ourselves and our clients from a surge of re-exposure.

The list of conditions below are common in our clientele. Of these, many also seek the advice of our trainers where we can prevent injury by recognizing dangerous conditions and modify their exercises. An essential part of this ability to personalize training for our clients is that they depend on our ability to care for them, but most importantly, motivate them.

Here in New York City every night at 7PM EST, we show our thanks and appreciation by applauding from our windows to honor the essential workers who are making sure we are safe and healthy, we have the food we need, our lights are on, and our water is running. That undoubtedly makes an impact night after night. What would make an even bigger impact is ensuring that their rights are protected and that essential workers all across America are going to work each day with proper protective gear, hazard pay, and guaranteed sick pay and medical and family leave. This, in addition to the other rights that we are fighting for, will make a real difference in the lives of essential workers all across America. On a personal note: I, like so many Americans, have lost work due to the coronavirus crisis. As someone who would typically be disqualified from receiving UI, I have immense gratitude for Democrats insisting that unemployment benefits be expanded to include gig workers and freelancers. Now, I am asking you to help petition expanding the care even further. Let's get our essential workers protected in the next stimulus package. I'm signing this for my father and my family members who are essential workers. This petition is for you, your loved ones, your friends -- it's a no-brainer. Let's stand in solidarity with our workers on the front lines. Call your representatives. Sign the petition TODAY.

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. Why is this important? The survival of the independent beauty professionals is at risk. We are facing a grave financial hardship. How it will be delivered Email

For several reasons.. people are scared and depressed. We need our hair cut & colored for our General well being! Many hairdressers earnings are day to day/ week to week.. Hairdressers love what they do. We miss our clients and our clients miss us. We have the ability to wear masks while taking all sanitary precautions. We are willing to do everything we can to do to be back doing what we love! Please!!

Serving one client at a time poses a lesser (or no) risk of spreading the virus, as compared to grocery stores being filled with 10+ people inside of one grocery store and 10+ people at a restaurant placing take out orders. Many stylists are the sole providers for their families and are facing grave financial hardships as a result of not being able to do their jobs. Please share this petition and tell our Supervisor to publicly support his constituents.

Covid 19 is affecting the economy in major ways forcing people to make tough decisions for their families based upon recent events such as deferring loan payments, mortgages, and basic utilities. To ease the economic struggle on these families, it is in our best discretion to open back up with these limited restrictions. The quarantine was implemented to flatten the curve of covid 19 to ensure that hospitals were not overwhelmed and to help prevent such rapid spread. The number of people infected is significantly lower than previously projected. Additionally independent contractors such as Beauticians, Barbers, and Artists cannot rely on programs such as unemployment as we do not qualify, in most cases, for such benefits. Small businesses are what keep communities in West Virginia running. Please do not turn your back on these families who are the backbone of our state.

This is not only our livelihood. Our careers are our passion. To make people look and feel good about themselves is so important. I'm not speaking of mere vanity. I'm speaking of the relationship with our clients in which we have a platform to encourage and boost the morale in these trying times that everyone is effected by. We are essential!

Gov. Jared Polis and health officials across the state of Colorado have done a great job keeping the public informed about the response to the COVID-19 pandemic. But the far-right Republican Minority Leader in the Colorado House, Rep. Patrick Neville, has refused to apologize for comparing the state’s first Jewish governor to the Gestapo and encouraging his political followers to disobey stay-at-home orders. Reached by the Denver Post after Gov. Polis condemned the comparison of stay-at-home orders to Nazism, Minority Leader Neville “declined to apologize.” And even now as the evidence grows that everything we’ve done to fight this pandemic is working and has saved untold numbers of Coloradans, Neville and his small but noisy fringe of far-right activists who wield disproportionate influence in the Colorado Republican Party are giving their supporters advice that could cost lives.

Hair salons are not an essential business. The only way we are going to get the corona virus under control and prevent the spread of it, is to stay home. Opening salons prematurely is only going to make things worse for the stylists, the customers and the community. Having your roots colored or a fresh cut is not a necessity.

Social distancing in salons is next to impossible. While we do have strict sterilization and sanitation laws that we adhere to, the general public does not. Reopening the salons puts all licensed workers and their guests at extreme risk, not to mention anyone that comes into contact with any of these people. It is very fair to think that reopening salons of any kind could in effect significantly contribute to another spike in the number of people with covid 19. No one's health is worth risking to get a haircut, or color, or wax, or nails done. All of that is not essential and can wait until it truly is safe. Please support health!

Because we are on week 4 of no pay. We are more sanitary than grocery stores, wal-mart, liquor stores etc. We can take all necessary precautions in order to provide the safety of not only our clients but ourselves. If our governor and his sidekick can have a double standard we can reopen for business with the safety of our community in mind. The reality of it is people are giving house calls to survive. 5.2 million people have filed for unemployment. Crashing the economy is not the answer.
