SALON TODAY has always been a forum where salon owners and other industry leaders have shared their best practices, creative ideas and wisdom. Never has that been more important than during the COVID-19 pandemic. It's an unprecendented time when owners are forced to close their doors, layoff their team members and figure out how to pay their bills and rent with no income. A time to focus on communicating with your guests and keep them engaged in your brand. A time to process documents, apply for financial assistance and get really creative about what you can safely sell.
As you work through this new reality, SALON TODAY developed the SalonShare Resource Center, a place where other owners and industry experts are sharing documents that you can use as a template to create your own. They are intended to be a point of inspiration or a starting place as you develop similar documents for your own business. Please contact your attorney, accountant, financial advisor or other professional for guidance, as your circumstances may be different.
We are adding to this site on a daily basis, but currently here's what you'll find.
