The 2019–20 coronavirus outbreak became a pandemic. Many people weren’t able to visit nail salons, hair salons or lash salons. A joke was posted on Twitter by Hanna (and another) on March 16, 2020:
“Nail salons—closed
Hair salons—closed
Lash salons—closed.
It’s about to get real ugly out here.”
“I’ve noticed a lot of you are not posting selfies anymore since the beauty salons have closed” and “We are about 3 weeks away from knowing everyone’s true hair color” are related jokes/quotes.
