COVID-19 chic.... It’s what all the Estys are wearing now! #estheticianlife #faceshield #covid19 #gearingup #tikitibuisonthemove #keepingussafe

And so it begins.... Just cleaning and disinfecting the entire room. Getting rid of things I don’t need and finding storage for all the new things I do need. Waiting for a few more of the supplies I’ll need to re-open. Once I get my Covid test results back I can set a date! #covid19 #covid19reopening #cleaning #preparing #tikitibuisonthemove #makingprogress #startingslow #lotstodo

Hello, Everyone!!! It’s been a weird ride! Businesses like mine, especially Sole Proprietors like me, have been hit hard by COVID-19. I have been closed since March 16th with no end in sight yet. As of now, Estheticians and Massage therapists are not allowed to reopen in California. I started a GoFundMe to help me stay afloat until we can reopen. Please donate if you can and share if you feel so inclined! The link is in my bio. Thank you! #gofundmedonations #gofundmecampaign #covid19relief #fundraisers #gofundmeplease #tikitibuneedsyou

HIZZAH!!! I am super excited to announce that Eminence Organic Skin Care has created an affiliate link for tikitibu!!! Now you can shop from the comfort of your home and have access to the entire Eminence line! They created this for their spas knowing how difficult this time has been for us. Purchasing from this link is like purchasing from me! If you need any guidance just give me a holler! https://eminenceorganics.com/spalink/U1BBMTc1

I will be approaching all services with an abundance of caution once I am given the green light....

Hello, Everyone! It’s been a crazy time all condensed into just a few short months. Small businesses like mine are barely treading water or closing permanently. Sole proprietors like me are not getting the help we need. What I make from my business pays for the business and pays me. I was declined for an SBA disaster loan because they determined that I had not substantiated my economic hardship and that the thousand dollar EIDL advance was sufficient. (Insert eye roll... and face palm) Another Esthetician I know of is receiving a grand total of $122 per week from unemployment. The kicker is we go into this application process filled with hope. They say there’s money there for us and then after weeks of waiting we get nothing or a mere fraction. I have never in my life asked for help like this before but I am putting it out there now. Because of the generous donations from friends, clients and a grant from the GoFundMe Small Business Relief Initiative, I have raised enough to pay my office rent for June and part of July! Thank you to everyone who donated to my campaign! I am so grateful to you all! Please share if you feel comfortable doing so... https://www.gofundme.com/f/tikitibu-needs-you

As we prepare to reopen, please know that this is on your technician’s mind. Clients have come in sick before without telling us but the stakes are even higher now. Please reschedule your appointment if you are not feeling well, have been sick in the last 14 days, have been in contact with someone who is sick and/or tested positive for COVID-19, if you are waiting for the results of a COVID-19 test, or you need to quarantine for 14 days more after recovery. Your decisions can really impact us and any clients we see after you.

Hello, Everyone! I hope you are all well! I’ve gone around in circles about this and having just been declined for an SBA disaster loan I decided to take matters into my own hands. A client of my who is a life coach said sometimes you just need to do what you need to do. So here it it! Be safe and see you on the flip side! https://www.gofundme.com/f/tikitibu-needs-you

Nine years ago today I filed the DBA for tikitibü. Happy 9th Anniversary, tikitibü! I hope to have many more years to come!
