To all our loyal clients,

I wanted to take today and tell you how much we at Georgia Louise have missed seeing you these past months as the lockdown has continued. I also have a very important request for your help.

You may have already heard the news that Governor Cuomo has announced that he will not allow businesses like ours that offer facial and skin care services to reopen during phase 4 in New York as he had previously indicated.

Today, I’m asking that you join me and my fellow business owners in supporting a petition to Governor Cuomo to reconsider this decision to continue shuttering our businesses and our livelihoods and to allow us to reopen as planned.

This is not something I ask lightly but instead after much reflection and planning.

At Georgia Louise and other facial and skin care businesses, across the city, our business models allow us to far better protect both our clients and our employees than other businesses which have already been allowed to re-open.

We do not have huge amounts of customers going in and out. We do not have people lingering and congregating together, which would encourage viral spread.

What we have is the ability to bring each and every one of our clients in individually to areas which are separated from others. We will take the temperatures of employees prior to their shift to ensure your safety.

We will take your temperature at the door to ensure our safety. We also have protective PPE and face shields that allow us to safely conduct facial and skin care services according to state law.

There is truly no reason why our businesses should be forced to remain closed – a move that could mean the end for many of us.

That is why, I have drafted a letter to Governor Cuomo asking that he reconsider and allow us to safely reopen in phase 4. Now, I ask that you sign the attached petition so that he can see that we all – businesses and clients like you who make it all worthwhile – stand together in making this request.

Sincerely,

Georgia
