It was announced today that our industry will be allowed to perform some services outdoors. This is great for those that can perform services outdoors, but for many of us outdoor services are not possible or would significantly limit our earning potential.

This industry is prepared and has heavily invested in returning safely & adhering to the guidelines set forth. We have proven able to operate safely without contributing to the spread. Operating outside of the controlled, safe environments we've created, is NOT a safer option. 

In addition, the expense to move outdoors will be even harder on salon owners who haven't even had sufficient time to make up for the capital put forth to abide by the first guidelines. This will create even more financial harships for stylist, our families and our already struggling businesses.

It's been said that these decisions are based on advisement of medical professionals & scientific data. Our industries own data can prove we can and have performed indoor services in a sanitary, safe environment without cases being traced back to us for months now. If this is not the case please provide us with the data to support the closure.
