minority-owned small businesses in Sacramento, CA devastated by the C0VID-19 pandemic

Sandy Vongthongkham, owner of Skin, Love & Lashes Beauty Center.
Broadway, Sacramento.

Compared to last year, my business is 80% less. But, I realize how much I value my clients, how much I value people. When you work in the beauty industry, it's different, it's almost like a therapy session. I'm sharing my life, they're sharing their life with me. I have clients now that I no longer will be seeing because they're afraid of the pandemic, because it's affected their jobs financially, and they can't come get a service now. And I missed that part, where our lives are being shared amongst each other.
