Just a little update on the salon side of Estheva, I hope you're all having the best start to the new year!
š¤, Brittany
As I'm receiving packages from orders placed before the fire my heart is sad. BUT the good news is I have gotten approval from my other job to temporarily set up shop at the Brookings Inn. Downfall is waiting for the cosmetology board to reach back out to get the ball rolling as well as getting my equipment from the salon to see what is still in working order or needing replaced. Unfortunately the building is condemned currently and funds to purchase new will take some time yet. I'm sure many of you are impatiently waiting as I know I am. I know this isn't a huge update or a specific opening date to get in my chair but I wanted to give you something. Know that I miss each and every one of my clients and I cannot wait to get you back in my chair.
I have had so many reach out about ways to donate or help me get back on my feet. I do not have anything set up for donations online but if you'd truly like to feel free to reach out and I can get you cashapp, venmo or PayPal information. I did have a coworker ever so kindly put out free will donation boxes at the Hyvee gas, Zip Trip on Medary, Brookings Inn and La Cantina so that is an option as well. They're not expected but I felt this was the best way to address that specific question from the many messages. As for help, if you have methods of removing intense smoke smell from leather, towels or cloth please share them with me as I'd love to salvage as much as possible once we are able to get in the building.
I miss you all and hope the start of your new year has been nothing but the best! š«¶š«¶
