#SupportLocalYYC
A manicure leaves you feeling polished (no pun intended) and put together even on your not so classy days. But some ladies like to take it up a notch and let their nails make an impression with bright colours, flashy designs, bling, and some statement shapes. I am that person!
Colette @colettesbeautyandwellness, a local beauty entrepreneur and influencer, has got me hooked on great looking nails for life. For many women, the cost is worth having beautiful, effortless nails and the regular visits to their favourite nail tech is something to look forward to.
Personal services including spas, esthetics, make up, and salons have had to close in-person services due to the rise in COVID cases. Thankfully, they are now open again but certainly missed during the lockdowns. From her inspirational quotes, informative videos, magnetic lashes, and nail artistry, Colette helps Women Look and Feel Beautiful!
For local businesses to stay afloat during these challenging times, we must think out of the box and get creative with how we support them. Check out different ways you can show your favourite service some support!
RESCHEDULE OR BOOK AN APPOINTMENT IN THE FUTURE
We all know how badly we needed a haircut, a pedicure, a wax, a massage, or a lash refill after the last lockdown, so why not reschedule your current appointment rather than cancelling, to guarantee your favourite service business.
BUY GIFT CARDS
Most of your favourite services including hair and nail salons, spas, waxing, massage and other personal wellness services offer gift cards, and this is a great way to support them financially during the current COVID lockdown. It can be a future treat for yourself, or it can act as a great Valentine’s Day gift for someone special. Either way, this small purchase can make a big difference for local services.
BUY PRODUCT ONLINE
You can still support local with the purchase of gift cards as well as their selection of products and goods available for purchase either online or for curbside pickup.
LEAVE A POSITIVE REVIEW ONLINE OR ENGAGE WITH THEM ON SOCIAL MEDIA
Although this action may seem small, a positive online review or social media mention for a business can have a big impact for them. Give your favourite hair stylist or go-to nail tech a shining online review, or head to social media and engage with their posts, share with your friends and family and throw them a follow! These are both easy, quick and free ways to remind your favourite businesses that you love them and help them stay afloat during this time.
