While most of us are in the fight of our lives to stay afloat, have lost loved ones and are trying to stay safe and keep others safe; there are others trying to actually survive another day mentally. The damage this virus has done is inconceivable. It has changed the plateau of lives, mental health and businesses that are trying to hang on. It has created devastation and destruction in the minds of so many that they are trying to get back to somewhat normal and out of that deep dark space and it isn't working. We are left to try and figure out what we can do to survive another day. Put the loss of not seeing loved ones to loved ones that have passed and the depression is mounting even deeper. We are thankful for the Blessings that we have. We are learning from the devastation that we are seeing to be even more thankful for what we have. The one thing that the virus has taught us is that online presence is bigger than ever. Our world was heading this way but now it seems there is no going back. Gone are the days were shopping malls were packed. This year it was reported that mall sales are down a minimum of 50%. What happens to all of the sales associates in retail? Restaurant workers have there own set of problems. The relief packages are not coming soon enough. The staff needs help. Carry out orders are definitely supporting our small businesses as well as gift certificates during this crucial time. Please continue with this support. However, all of the impact on our restaurants will have a major trickle down affect on all of us. This does not exclude all other small business that are suffering. VIP Salon and Spa has been in business for over 35 years servicing the downriver community. We have invested thousands of dollars on PPE protection for our employees and customers. We value your business and we know that it is your choice to come to us. Our obligation is to keep you safe as well as our employees while they continue to do the services they love. We also know without you and our employees there would be no VIP. We know the experience is not what you have come to know from us or any other small business that wants to cater to their customers above and beyond what is required. VIP Salon and Spa also has to change with our client's growing needs. VIP has created options that can help. We are offering curbside purchasing.
