These Salons Deserve Applause For Not Opening This Eid – They Know It’s Not Safe

Finally Some Sense Prevails As Big Name Salons Decide To Stay Closed This Eid

It is good to see some sense prevailing in the citizens of Karachi. As Eid draws near we see locals roaming around with not a care in the world as if COVID-19 is just a fragment of our imagination. Shopping malls and roads meet with crowds of hundreds every day. the hustle-bustle in the markets as early as 9 am, women dragging along their kids into the crowds. all this proves one thing. Jan jaye per Eid ki shopping nahin!

Similarly, we see malls opening, markets not following the given SOPs regarding the deadly virus and now beauty parlors have joined the bandwagon to earn some bucks on the go.

Not only this but many are also offering huge discounts and offers to lure the women out of their safe homes.

Some sense prevailing

Thankfully some sense prevails as two big names in the business have decided to not resume business this eid. Keeping their staff and potential customers out of danger.

Bina Khan, makeup artist and owner of Bina Khan salon, took to Instagram to share her decision and posted;

“Closed because we care!”

She further added, “I am staying shut for you, for me, for my staff and for all of our families that we could infect in our path.”

Another big name Natasha Khalid Lakhani of Natasha salon also took the wise decision of keeping her salon’s gate closed during these testing times.

‘I can’t guarantee 100% that someone will not get ill’

In her Instagram post Natasha wrote, “I will not risk my staff, myself, or anyone walking through my doors getting unwell.” “I will not risk opening doors because I can’t guarantee 100% that someone will not get ill.”

It is understandable that such businesses make the most money around Eid. But in such an uncertain situation it is better to bear some loss than be a reason for someone’s demise.

Kudos to both ladies for taking difficult but needed decisions and giving priority to saving lives than making money.
