Studio SLK- #SmallBusinessRelief

Family, Friends, Friends of Friends

Studio SLK like many other salons across the nation has been impacted by the global COVID-19 pandemic. We have been serving the Evanston and surrounding communities for the past 8 years providing Hair and Nail Care services to women, men, and children of diverse ages and backgrounds.   We have supported and partnered with local organizations in their efforts to service the community and participated in the Mayor’s Summer Youth Job program by providing jobs to area youths.  Now, our very existence is being challenged because of the current pandemic.

Here at Studio SLK,  we the staff are doing our part by adhering to the Governor's mandate to close all salons, as well as many other businesses in the state.  In addition, we are abiding by the “Shelter in Place” order, which has been in effect since March 21, 2020 and is tentatively scheduled to end on May 31, 2020. Due to the nature of our business, we are deemed non-essential at this time.  

The financial ramification on the business and staff will be devastating the longer our doors remain closed.
The decision to ask for assistance was not an easy one.   However, as weeks turn into months, the reality of what could possibly happen to the business is becoming clearer.  It is my desire to assist Studio SLK’s staff as their means of making a living has been interrupted, and to take care of the needs of the salon as we patiently wait for clearance to reopen our doors.  Also, with the new guidelines being put in place for the beauty industry, protective measures for our guests and staff will incur additional costs. Given the new measures, it is evident that financial assistance will be needed.

With that being said, if you are able and willing to make a donation of any amount, it will be greatly appreciated.  We look forward to returning to work and serving our guests when it is safe to do so.  In the meantime, please keep us in your thoughts and share our page with your family and friends and let’s keep Studio SLK in the Evanston community for many years to come.  After all, Without YOU, there is no US.
