00:00:00.390 --> 00:00:03.150
<v 0>I've been a barber for about 33 years.</v>

2
00:00:03.420 --> 00:00:07.080
And we have the small little business here in the hardest south fork.

3
00:00:07.640 --> 00:00:12.170
<v 1>We're doing acquaint. Matt, did you want to get in today?</v>

4
00:00:13.130 --> 00:00:15.080
<v 0>What I've done my whole life. Um,</v>

5
00:00:15.140 --> 00:00:18.050
I've I started doing it when I was in high school.

6
00:00:18.200 --> 00:00:22.190
So I went to cosmetology school and that was over 30 years ago.

7
00:00:22.220 --> 00:00:25.100
And then I went to barber school. So I have dual licenses

8
00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:30.830
When 2020 happened. Uh,

9
00:00:30.860 --> 00:00:35.480
we had to close down for three months and we had no choice, but to close down.

10
00:00:36.080 --> 00:00:39.890
And during that time it was extremely difficult. Um,

11
00:00:39.950 --> 00:00:43.010
and business has not been the same after the COVID,

12
00:00:43.580 --> 00:00:46.490
but we're improving. We're getting better.

13
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:49.340
So it started out bad and then it's getting better.

14
00:00:49.340 --> 00:00:53.180
So I would have to say we survived 20, 20, we're still open.

15
00:00:53.180 --> 00:00:54.830
So we must've done something.

16
00:00:58.310 --> 00:01:02.240
Basically. There's always going to be a light at the end of the tunnel.

17
00:01:02.660 --> 00:01:06.680
And what happened with, as I said, there, sure. There was, you know,

18
00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:08.570
we had bad black and we had to close down,

19
00:01:08.600 --> 00:01:12.410
but we're very grateful that we have in the business that we have and that we

20
00:01:12.410 --> 00:01:13.910
were able to open back up.

21
00:01:14.420 --> 00:01:18.950
And also that they offered great PPP loans and they were really,

22
00:01:19.310 --> 00:01:19.700
you know,

23
00:01:19.700 --> 00:01:23.960
we really took advantage of all the things that were out there to help keep our

24
00:01:23.960 --> 00:01:24.350
businesses.
