This morning, a single mom Salon Owner in Dallas, who cannot afford to stay closed another day, is opening her salon "ahead of schedule." Her schedule today is PACKED with happy women.

Will sheriffs be there to arrest her? How will the women with appointments respond if they do?
I heard a radio interview with the Salon Owner. Before she opened she saw on social media that her parking lot was FULL of people- some with appointments, but many there just to support her for having the courage to reopen. Way to go patriots! 💪🏼👊🏼🇺🇸
She said that most of cosmetology school had to do with sanitization. Everyone will be wearing a mask and sanitizing all equipment between clients. Stylists have been going into clients homes to provide services and she felt it was safer to have them work in a sanitized salon.
This Salon Owner was in the financial position to have to choose between paying her salon rent or paying her mortgage b/c she has yet to receive SBA funds. Since she has 19 stylists who work in her salon, she chose to pay her rent. What a hard, but brave & compassionate decision!
Governor Abbott just clarified that a business that is given an Executive Order green light to reopen on a statewide basis cannot be obstructed from reopening by local authorities.
