COVID-19 hasn’t been easy. It’s been tough on all of us quarantining at home, it’s been even tougher on first responders and hospitals dealing directly with the pandemic, and it’s been tough on small businesses everywhere. Businesses that have taken years to build are sadly at risk of losing everything. For this reason, I’ve mapped out how you can support some local Boston businesses below.

Patrice Vinci Salon:

Head to the salons “shop” tab to purchase a digital gift card for a future appointment (and book your future appointment!) or shop the Patrice Vinci product line. 20% of product sales go directly to the salon assistants. Stay in the loop by following @patricevincisalon – you may also catch Patrice herself on Instagram live sharing tips and tricks on how to maintain your hair during quarantine.

GLOW:

GLOW recently launched their online store where you can shop your favorite tanning and hair products. The best part is, you don’t have to wait to receive your goods. Curbside pick-up is available! Get 30% off products when you spend over $25 with the code: SEEYOUSOON

You can also now buy GLOW giftcards online. Get 20% off your giftcard of over $50 with the code: SEEYOUSOON. Book your future appointments now, because we’ll all be in desperate need of a tan and a blowout when this is all over. Head to @glowwatertown to see how your favorite Glow girls are keeping busy at home.

Julianna Rae:

Elevate your #WFH look with luxury silk sleepwear. With Mother’s Day coming up, Julianna Rae has several upcoming promos to get you ready for your next Zoom meeting for less. Don’t forget about mom! Visit @shopjuliannarae on Instagram for serious sleepwear envy.

Nourish Your Soul Juice:

Though closed until further notice, the juicery will continue to share regular updates about how people can get their hands on their favorite flavors. Make sure you’re following @nourishyoursouljuice on Instagram for regular updates.

The Luxe Dose:

Our favorite skincare guru, Bianca, is offering free virtual consults during quarantine. She’s also still able to ship you your favorite SkinCeuticals products. She’s been releasing awesome regular promotions via Instagram, so make sure you’re following @the_luxe_dose_ for the latest.

IMBUE The Salon:

IMBUE continues to serve up drool-worthy hair content on Instagram, so make sure you are following @imbuethesalon to get some inspo for your next visit. You’ll also want to schedule your appointment before they book up for Spring, because, they will.

AXL Boston:

Boston’s newest spin studio has yet to open in Eastie because, well, #quarantine. You can support AXL by following them on Instagram @axlboston and downloading their app: AXL Cycle Studio on the App Store. Insider tip: they’ll be rolling out digital gift cards soon, so keep checking in for regular updates.
