The shutdowns of non-essential businesses to slow the proliferation of COVID-19 has affected almost every industry, but beauty professionals relying on in-person services for their income have been particularly hurt economically. Spas, and hair and nail salons have closed their doors, and employers have had to make tough decisions about layoffs and pay cuts. Hundreds of thousands of beauty professionals are uncertain about how they’ll sustain themselves and their families in the coming weeks.
