Travis and Adelle became friends of mine over the past couple of years. I saw their salon thrive and move into a new space that was absolutely STUNNING! Everything was going great….. then COVID happened. 

A year and a half after quarantine they closed their doors. They were heartbroken with an unbelievable amount of peace through the whole process. They struggled not to question everything.

They never made excuses because they knew this was happening FOR them and not TO them.

This is my conversation on the start of 2020, the closing of their salon and what's next.
