COVID-19 Impacts on the Beauty Industry

COVID-19 Impacts on the Beauty Industry

It’s hard to find any major industry that has endured the effects of COVID-19 unscathed.  The restaurant industry is a main one that has garnered a lot of attention, but the salon industry has suffered a lot without many opportunities to change course in how they do business.
While restaurants were able to serve their customers via online ordering paired with curbside pick-up, salons rely on one-on-one customer relationships while performing services in close proximity.  Long-distance styling is not an option, and though salons have always been required to maintain a strict adherence to safety and sanitization measures even pre-pandemic, they are still in an industry that agencies deem as luxury versus essential.
Nothing Can Replace a Quality, Professional Hair Colorist, Stylist, and Esthetician
We know the true value of salon professionals and so do many people forced to perform their own beauty services.  Even just a quick YouTube search will show the disaster of attempting to cut your own hair or color your own hair with unsafe and unfit products.
Now with salons opened, clients are able to go back to their favorite stylists and estheticians, but many clients have also endured the negative impacts of COVID-19 — such as less income, impeding their ability to request the kind of services they would want.
Shifting With the Times
Despite setbacks, Salon Alure, with locations in Purcellville and Lovettsville, Virginia, is encouraged by the continued support of our loyal, long-time guests in Loudoun County and the surrounding areas that show up month after month.  Salon Alure continues to implement thorough safety and sanitation measures to keep our clients and team happy, healthy, and able to receive the very best beauty services.
With the addition of Alure Hair Academy, Salon Alure is able to continue to train up the next generation of future hair stylists, estheticians, and nail technicians, as well as offer reduced pricing to those on a tight budget.  Salon Alure has also hired apprentices that are beginning to serve clients while learning alongside seasoned professionals.
