This is a good change. It will take some time to learn to use it properly. Advice is a good brand name, too. Thanks for the update.

Allow licensed beauty professional to perform beauty service/ privately with one client in the salon / per stylist at a time. All necessary precautions and sanitation protocols approved by the state of FL and the local Board of Health will be followed. Our industry needs to be recognized & deemed as an essential business so we can better serve our community.
Servicing one client at a time (while wearing a mask & gloves) poses little to no risk of spreading the virus, as compared to 20 or more people in a grocery store or 10 plus people at restaurants picking up food.The survival of the independent beauty professionals is at risk. We are facing a grave financial hardship.
Customer service is the biggest thing I stand for in my business. I am the soul's owner of my cleaning company, And I want each and every one of my clients to feel they can trust, respect and build a bond with me. On a level, they haven't been able to do with other cleaning companies. I strive for great customer service on all levels. Even if that means I have to go back and fix an issue that is what problem-solving and great customer service is. finding a solution and solving it. Not every case is this true but I try to always think the customer is always right, not always but I try to stand by this and make each on of my customer's needs best that I can. I provide the cleanings for all my customers and if it's a busy season for me I may hire on 2 people who have worked with me and have the same work ethics as I do. My Business I expect the top-notch cleaning, and respect towards my customers. And I feel being a hands-on owner is the best thing for my company personally.

I would absolutely love to participate in this forum. Even at my level of knowledge and years of experience, I have questions
Our business is a combination of both residential and commercial and we are down about 10% or even a little less over same period last year. We have no problem getting listings as long as you can do virtual listings. People do not want other people in their houses. That is where commercial comes in to assist. Since it is so different and you are only in residential, I advise you to tell your people to go out and look for commercial opportunities, then partner with a good commercial company to do the sale or lease. We do this with other residential companies frequently.
