My 23 year old female cousin recently opened up her own salon.

From a young age, she taught herself how to thread and wax eyebrows and developed an interest in

makeup and hair. Everyone in our extended family would go to her before events on a monthly basis

making masks slash face shields and gloves mandatory, wiping down the salon after each client,

etc. Also, when our city wasn't locked down, the salon was closed as it is not an essential service.

Here's where the incident began. Our city is once again in lockdown since the end of December

to the end of January. The salon has been closed down since the lockdown began. The salon's

social media pages have been updated to let the current clientele know that the salon is closed.
