Dear Salotto Family,

We are fortunate to have been re-categorized and will be remaining open with our strict Covid-protocols in place while our county moves into the purple tier. But, sadly we are watching some of our fellow businesses close their doors. Some permanently.

We are all seeing the effects of this pandemic, what it has done to our economy and all of our lively hoods. The hustle and bustle of the holiday season will ring a different tune this year. Our own business has begun to slow down. The initial bubble we experienced when we reopened has fizzled because people are still worried about the virus, and rightfully so. When there is a shift in our positive cases we experience last minute cancellations and when flu season hits we anticipate this to be an even more common occurrence. We are bracing our business and our team for this inevitable fall out.

But, more importantly we are seeing clients come in who are struggling just the same as we are. Some even with the added complications of virtual learning and family health concerns to boot. All the same, there is still a willing to spend and, maybe more so, to escape their confines just to have a sense of normalcy and to feel good about themselves again. We all have good reason to be feeling down. But for us, when our clients see their hair rejuvenated, and the life brought back to their reflection, it reminds us that the work we do is essential to the wellbeing of our community. Let’s face it, when you look good, you feel good.
