23 Mar We’re in this together.
To our partners, service providers, vendors, family, and friends,
We have seen you through challenging times and have shared in times of growth and success. We have also witnessed your resilience time and time again.
So while the future of our day-to-day business is instantly changing during an uncertain time we want you to know: we will get through this together. The beauty industry is a community that is more like family, and it is our belief that our beauty family will survive and we will be better off in the end.
It is no secret that our industry is being drastically impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. Salon and spa owners everywhere have instantly been hit with an unpredictable future. We may not be able to provide all of the answers, but we are here to support and guide our beauty industry family as best we can. We’ve collected the following information to share with all of you.
If you are a partner salon and have advice or questions for our team we encourage you to email your BDM or email us as hello@hcbeauty.com
