Vaccine for Hairstylists

The Issue

When the pandemic hit almost a year ago everyone in the personal service industry listened and closed our door.  We sat down, we put our scissors down, we closed our doors because that is what we were told to do for the health and safety of everyone and ourselves. 

Some of us went months without pay, some of us were lucky and received financial help from our local and federal government. The stress of all of this was almost unbearable. 

Everyone couldn't wait til the salons opened back up.  Do your remember how upset you were when you couldn't get a haircut, color, highlights, or just a resemblance of normalcy?  You all missed us so much and we did you as well. 

Fast forward to now when we opened back up.  We were scared, nervous anxious, happy, relieved, and felt the love of everyone when we returned.  We withstood wearing a mask, following all safety protocols, and kept everyone as safe as we possibly could throughout all of these months.  We have lost income, lost clients, loss the potential of gaining new clients, most of our business is down by 20-30%. 

The news of the vaccine arrival was a relief for everyone. We will be able to keep our clients safer, ourselves and everyone we come home to safer...except Hairstylist are NOT on list to receive the vaccine!  To say this was shocking is an understatement.  Anger, yes we are angry.  Frustrated and Forgotten, yes you can check that off the box as well. 

WE have clients of ALL age ranges. WE can NOT be socially distanced 6 feet away from YOU while we are working. WE don't need a pat on the back that this industry has done a great job.  We need to be included in a phase of the vaccine.

For the safety of ourselves and our clients Sign, Share and Help us get vaccinated in 1 C phase of the vaccine!!!  Do it for YOUR Hairstylist!!!! WE NEED YOUR HELP!
