Did anyone else hear/see the news report this morning on ABC that the virus may live for up to 19 hours on surfaces? I had the TV on and was in the kitchen when I heard them say this but by the time I got into the livingroom they had already moved past this part of the discussion.

I have several people who book ahead. I've offered them all a house visit, if they need it while we're closed. Two of my most regular clients added fifty dollars to their total today when they paid. I didn't even know it until I finished for the day......I never look at the amount money they give me. I just ask if they need change, and stick it in my pocket. Same with checks and cards, I don't look at the final amount until I'm settling the day's books. It was very humbling and made me feel good at the same time when I realized what they had done. I'm not as panicked as I was this morning. Those two kind people made me see that Others do care and want to help. My faith in people is for now, renewed.
I've decided to set the chair back up in my basement and offer some clients to come to the house......not all, just the most regular ones. I will have to explain to them that my house is old and ugly, but this will suffice until we can return to the salon. Many of them have been to the chair in my basement before. When my ex-husband forced me to give up my own salon, my faithful clients came to the basement then. They didn't care how it looked, they just cared that I was doing their hair. So for the next 30 days, I'm a renegade hair stylist......I like the sound of that. Might start answering my phone with "Hello, Renegade Salon".

That is a fantastic idea!! I would absolutely totally go to your house for a cut, color and conversation. I like Renegade Salon - but I think your current salon name is pretty snazzy too. I think your clients will go to your house. Brilliant!

I heard it was up to 3 days, but I don’t know what source my mom got that from

You're welcome at my house any time! Come this summer. We can sit on the porch, drink spiked lemonade, and watch the neighbors.

Great news. That should help some.

I need some advice. What kind of bowl should I put on my head when I cut my own hair?
