Support Your Beauty Businesses on Small Business Saturday
Small Business Saturday is a huge day for small businesses in your neighborhood! Especially in 2020! Especially beauty and wellness businesses that specialize in makeup, lashes, waxing, nail, hair, yoga, and massage, However, the one segment of the beauty industry that has been heavily impacted is the skincare segment. Many states and local governments have not allowed skincare businesses to operate for months. Then when they were able to operate, they were required to have clients keep their masks on, which made it challenging to provide services.
Real Talk – Want To Change The World – Shop Small in 2020
If you love getting waxing, lashes, eyelash tinting, eyelash lifts, and skin care treatments – Small Business Saturday is the time to act! If you want your local beauty business to be there in 2021 after the worst of Covid is over – shop with those businesses NOW and show support!

The dollars you spend at a small business – LITERALLY puts food on the table for the families of the men and women who you see every time you walk in the door.
Your support can literally mean the success of small businesses in 2020!

#2 Gift Certificates
So Covid won’t last forever! If you want to wait til it’s over – that’s cool. But a gift certificate now and especially on Small Business Saturday! Buy them for friends and family! It’s a gift that will show you care about their well-being AND it’s going to help these small beauty businesses to survive the long cold winter of 2020! Many of the small beauty have online shopping, you can find the links to shop in their Instagram Profile, on their Facebook page, on their website!
#3 Buy Products
All of the beauty businesses sell products! These are some of the highest quality products available. Buy products from these businesses this year, especially on Small Business Saturday! Remember that the purchase of products from these small businesses over Target, Walmart, Sephora or Amazon mean that you’re feeding someone’s children, your keeping a roof over another human being’s head vs adding to the balance sheet of a multi-national corporation. We’re not here to bash big business – but these smaller businesses are fighting for survival and product sales are the energy they need to keep fighting!
