Leads Local Beauty Industry Through COVID-19 Crisis by Alison Bailey, Photos courtesy of LoneStar Salon
Tumwater-based beauty bar LoneStar Salon is one of many local establishments closed as a result of the governor’s mandated Stay Home order. Luckily for the team at LoneStar, and for many other local beauty experts and salons, LoneStar’s owner, Lisa Musgrove, is not afraid to take charge and start organizing.
L
isa contacted the Thurston County Chamber of Commerce in the earliest days of the crisis to get all the information she could about resources for her business and her employees. She realized that many local salons, spas and stylists might benefit from the information she was getting from the Chamber, so she established the Pacific Mountain Salons & Spas Resource page on Facebook. Working with Megan Fiess, the Chamber’s Workforce Division Project Manager, Lisa funnels as much information pertinent to the beauty industry as she can onto the Facebook page. It has over 100 members from Thurston, Mason, Lewis, Pacific and Grays Harbor counties as of late April. “I would not have been as successful as I was in those first few weeks without Megan’s support,” Lisa explains.
