Local Business Michele's Salon Needs Your Support

The new coronavirus has changed life for all of us. Local businesses have taken a huge economic hit, but communities are finding creative ways to support the establishments they know and love.

In an effort to help local businesses in our communities stay connected and succeed, Patch will shine a light on some of them through a series of Q&A articles during this time.

Michele's Salon is one of the businesses in town facing struggles during the coronavirus. You can lend your support by reading more about the company, below, and by contacting them here.

Tell us about your business and its history in your town.

I opened my salon in 2013. My mom owns property in Delran and I was able to convert the upstairs of her two car garage into a beautiful salon — it definitely is a hidden gem. I am an appointment-only salon and I offer my clients one-on-one client experience.

How has the new coronavirus impacted your business and its employees?

I am the only stylist at my salon. I had to close my business due to COVID-19, and for the first time I have no income coming in to support my family. I am worried what this will do to my business that I have grown over seven years. Our economy will not be the same after this and all the small businesses will struggle to survive.

How can local customers support you now and in the future?

I am offering e-gift cards on my website with a $20 off code: Covid19. I encourage everyone to shop small and support your local businesses.

Do you have any words of encouragement for your community?

I think we all need to come together and support one another in this difficult time and remember everyone is going through the same thing.

Are you offering any special services, promotions or hours during this time?

I'm offering $20 off of e-gift cards online.

Are there any other outstanding businesses in town you think deserve some community support?

Kim’s Nail Salon and Pizza Amore.
