This is exactly what I wanted to say earlier this evening and couldn't find the right words without sounding like the other extreme - I don't want us all to be locked up for life but at the same time, you'd have to be a bit of a gowl to book at least three personal services for the first morning they're allowed reopen
Having had Covid and being unvaccinated as yet, I plan on getting my hair done in a few weeks when things aren't as busy. My brows are fine - I can continue tweezing strays. I don't need another fecking piercing - nobody does like! I won't be booking a Penneys spree. Life isn't back to normal and it's not safe or wise to pretend it is IMO.
Also the fact that at least one of those services was gifted doesn't sit well with me: all our hairdressers and beauty salon owners are delighted to be back working, are booked up for weeks even with opening for longer hours etc - where is the sense in gifting services to freeloaders, ahem, sorry, content creators like Louise Bleedin' Cooney? How is that going to raise their profile or make them money, really?
Influencer marketing for personal services (and in general) just seems so at odds with the current climate.
