TAKE ACTION NOW
Employment-based salons have been subject to unfair disparities in the tax code for decades. As service sector small businesses commonly owned by women and minorities, our industry has endured the worst of the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. NOW is the time for Congress to ensure that salons can build back better. Tell Congress to extend the 45B tax credit to salons. It’s our turn!
Take Action Now!
Salons across the country are struggling financially and many will not make it through this crisis. Sign on to the letter below to ask Congress to include a retroactive FICA tax tip credit for salons in the next stimulus package. Salons have been the hardest hit by this pandemic and need funds now to ensure they will remain in business. The beauty industry needs your voice!
For much of 2020, many salons in various states were closed because of various quarantine and lockdown measures. The salon industry was disproportionately affected by the pandemic and needs immediate relief now.
THE STATS
Hair salons, barbershops and other beauty service establishments are some of the most reliable paths to the middle class for women and minorities, employing more than 2x the national average.
Expanding this credit will help marginalized communities build a better future for themselves and their families.
