Everything you need

From salon re-opening guides to PPE information, from mental support to business organisation and planning, from financial advice to client approach, there is a helluvalot info available out there and we know it can be overwhelming. It’s a stressful period indeed; we’re all expecting the 4^th of July, though no official statement yet. Many are scared to go back to work, more questions arise every day and everything seems so fluid.

We have been here since day 1; writing, posting, researching, talking, suggesting, sharing; trying to be as informative as possible. We are trying our best to support our lovely community to get back on their feet through our stories, articles and lives. But since you can get lost searching through all this info, don’t worry. We got your back! Here is a list of links to articles full of information, ideas and everything you may need right now. You’re welcome!
