Now, I'm struggling with navigating the unemployment system.

Where Everybody Knows Your Name

,” June 2018: “The Parlor is a hair salon second and a safe community space first, hence the radically positive vibes. You can also drink there. LGBTQ activists Jamie DiGrazia and Tricia Serpe opened Logan Parlor seven years ago on Chicago's North Side. It's one of the country's first gender-neutral salons.”

Well, a month ago, everything was fine, right? We were looking forward to spring, putting blonde back in people’s hair. Once we heard that this [disease] was spreading, and they were suggesting that people stay home, a lot of our guests were canceling their appointments and wanting to reschedule. We closed on March 16th — before we were mandated to — until the 31st, the media’s suggestion [at the time, thinking] that if we stayed in for two weeks it would go away.

I also had to apply for unemployment. On March 19th, I was online trying to figure out how to apply for unemployment, and they just take the information off of your ID — birthday, weight, and name. And they kept saying "we can't verify your information at this time." Why on earth not? They knew I was lying about my weight! They gave me this number to call, and it was busy, for. Then I got through, and I had to listen to this seven-minute message about them being really busy.

I finally got through on April 9th, after trying since March 19th. I registered and am supposed to be hearing back with next steps. I have some money saved, thank goodness, but my team is comprised of young stylists who have just started their careers. They’re more positive about it, which is so nice., and my accountant, who has been amazing, said to apply for it. Now she’s suggesting that I apply for the [Small Business Association] loan, too. I just know there’s money and I’ll get a loan.
