In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear have ordered non-essential businesses to close their doors until further notice, including local boutiques and salons. However, small business owners are working hard to remain open in some capacity by including delivery or curbside pickup with every purchase. Some are even offering free shipping, both local and domestic, and virtual shopping parties.
Below is a list of boutiques, salons, and businesses that remain open in some capacity. Please check their websites and social media pages for updates, services, and hours of operation. Also, consider buying gift cards to help keep the cash flow moving. We will continue updating this list as new information comes in.
Business owners: Please contact cmletters@cincinnatimagazine.com to update your listing or be added to the list. To add your business, please include a website/social media page where you will include updates, your neighborhood, and your available services.
