The Salon 2020

2020 brought unprecedented challenges to the world, the country, The Salon, and our individual lives. Terms and phrases such as:

Covid 19 - PPE - N-95 - Pandemic - Quarantine - Lockdown/Shutdown - CDC - Self isolating - Social Distance - Sanitation Procedures - Drive-thru Testing - Contact Tracing - Cluster - Contactless Delivery - Flatten the Curve - Super Spreader - Essential Workers - Work from Home - Zoom - New Normal - Learning Pod - Virtual Education - Cares Act - PPP - EIDL - Stimulus Check - BLM and Social Unrest

have dominated our everyday thoughts and have been designed to help us navigate through the insanity. I guess, this new vocabulary helps us makes sense of, and brings awareness to, the changes that have suddenly become part of our life on a daily basis.

In a mere three months, Covid-19 fundamentally changed our ways of living. Adding to that, the turmoil of social unrest in our country, and our city, it has at times seemed almost insurmountable.

But, The Salon has stood fast and met every challenge of 2020 with determination and tenacity. This note is not so much about these challenges, rather it’s about the unparalleled support and generosity shown by our customers. So, rather than focusing on all the chaos of these times, we are choosing to focus on the kindness of our awesome clients who have stood beside us every step of the way through the most complicated year in the history of The Salon!
