The vast majority of our clients first come to us for a treatment plan, often referred by their primary care provider or chiropractor, and on-going massage therapy support. Massage is a medically endorsed practice which can be leveraged to treat individuals requiring long-term chronic pain management choices apart from opioid prescriptions, oncology massage, autoimmune disorder support, pre-natal, sciatic care, as well as many other conditions. Our clients, because of massage being treated as a luxury/personal service in E.O. 120 are left in pain, unable to get the care they need and unable to get into hospitals or their own PCPs and are left with no options. We field these distressed phone calls on a daily basis from these clients desperate for information on when we will be allowed to re-open.

The survival of the independent beauty professionals is at risk. We are facing a great financial hardship.

Independent Beauty Professionals rely on the income from clients. We cannot perform a haircut online. While the “beauty industry is deemed “Non essential”, the ability to practice our craft is very ESSENTIAL to our livelihood. Allowing the industry to slowly ease back into operation is a low risk, high reward action.

The survival of the independent beauty professionals is at risk. We are facing a grave financial hardship. Receiving services is also good for our clients emotional And physical well being.

On this day 244 years ago, the United States of America declared its Independence from the British Empire paving way for the rise of a strong and independent Nation across the sea from its oppressor. In the Declaration of Independence, its authors wrote down the list of crimes and injustices committed by the King of Great Britain as the main reasons for which such separation was promulgated. Many of those crimes listed in the Declaration of Independence have been repeated here by Donald John Trump and his entire administration. Here are the crimes that bore resemblances to the ones written about in the Declaration: He has refused his adherence to Laws, even the most wholesome and necessary laws for all the public good. [0], [1] He has forbidden his Senate to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, and effectively suspended their passage and implementation until his assent is obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them at all leaving Americans vulnerable.[2], He has politically and repeatedly blocked the House of Representatives, for opposing, with strong firmness, his invasions on the rights of the American People. [3] He has endeavored to prevent the population of these United States; by obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.[4] He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing to abide by the laws for establishing Judiciary powers and blatantly thinks he is above the law. He effectively has rendered the Military independent of and superior to all Civil powers.[5] For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world and mitigating bad will across the globe. [6] Furthermore, there are still so many more crimes that Donald John Trump has committed that are not listed above. Among those are the ones listed in the Article of Impeachment of Donald John Trump passed in the House of Representatives: Abuse of Power and Obstruction of Congress. In addition to the crimes and injustices that Donald John Trump and his administration have committed, there are other lies, deceptions, consequences and tactics that he and his accomplices have employed to further enrich themselves at the cost of People’s lives and their livelihood. Most recent example would be his administration’s response, or lack thereof, to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has cost the United States countless lives. As we speak: The Federal government is seizing local hospital supplies without cause or reason. Doctors, and nurses, or anyone who sound alarms on their hazardous working conditions are silenced or even fired. Donald John Trump has been using public daily briefings as a means for free political campaigning and some kind of emotional grandeur. He recklessly promotes non-tested drugs, whose producers are companies in which Donald John Trump and his friends have invested in and has already cost innocent lives. Donald John Trump constantly contradicts experts who dare to disagree with him, and that he was advised of the pandemic threat in November of 2019 and had made it an unimportant issue. He pushed for the bailing out of the rich and the biggest corporations in the United States while leaving hardworking workers and taxpayers without the means of living, while also attempting to suspend medical coverage for our most vulnerable and poor during this pandemic. Donald John Trump attempted to remove those who will fairly oversee the appropriation of $2.3 trillion that congress has appointed to assist the working, taxpayer majority during this horrible pandemic. He removed environmental protections and withdrawing the US from the Paris climate agreement Donald John Trump’s retaliation against people in the administration who testified during the impeachment or brought the lawfull whistleblower report to Congress He is violating international law with increased drone assassinations Our Great Democracy is under siege from a virus that is crippling our economy, killing our most vulnerable members; and from a dictator, who cares for nothing but to enrich himself and his corporate friends. The way we respond to this will define us for generations to come. Signing this petition is not just about asking The House of Representatives, the Senate, or the media to do their jobs appropriately for us all, but more importantly, it is also about you, the signer, to affirm your own commitment to vote in the next election and to oust the most dangerous con man ever elected to our highest office. So let us all sign and then seal it with our commitment and determination for a fairer and better America or ourselves and our future generations.

As beauty industry we are in the fight of our lives to be able to stay in business many of our salons will close when this is over. In Wisconsin many Cosmetologist/ nail technicians have been without a paycheck or any income since Friday March 20th at 5 pm when we were given 1 hour and 47 minutes notice to close our salon at 5 pm on a Friday Indefinitely .We are not eligible for regular unemployment and have NOT been able to file for the emergency unemployment until April 25 that is over 5 weeks without income or revenue coming into our businesses. The small business loans that were supposedly designed to help us out seem to have fallen short of reaching that potential and many booth renters will not be eligible for either. According to statement issued unemployment will only cover a percentage of net income and as all beauty industry people are aware we have a lot expenses that come off our gross income products , rent , electric, gas ect. According to these numbers some people eligible will only get $100 even with the $600 supposedly added on. Remember a large percentage of hairstylist are single parents that are the Head of Households and main providers. Alot of educated professional stylist will have to go elsewhere to provide for there families and start other professions, As an industry we are essential for mental health in how we make people feel and look. Elected political leaders and t.v journalist of our state have proven that by continuing to get beauty services while the rest of the population has been told they were not allowed. If you look on Social media and television most of post and jokes are about how bad we are all going to look after this is over. This is undeniable proof that we are VERY IMPORTANT and ESSENTIAL for mental health. If you look good you feel good and if you don’t want to come in and have services performed you don’t have to. Many of our local and State politicians have had haircuts and beauty services performed under the guise that they are a Public Figure. I am asking everyone to please sign the petition to allow us to make you beautiful if you personally do not want to “risk it “ at least allow others to have the freedom too, Save a dying industry from extinction or at least help us to let our voices be heard . We are tax paying and registered voters like the rest and we should have the same respect. Last comment is restaurants and bars were given over 24 hours to close but were allowed to stay to open with limited menu and services so they could at least generate income. Bars and restaurants were given permission to sell closed containers of alcohol to go (ex. Margarita’s and beers)We were COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN IN 1 hour and 47minutes with NO limited services or Hair care products to be sold, Help us Hrlp You! Save yourselves from homemade Haircuts and Box dye!
