Support Local Business Milano Day Spa & Wellness Center

The new coronavirus has changed life for all of us. Local businesses have taken a huge economic hit, but communities are finding creative ways to support the establishments they know and love.

In an effort to help local businesses in our communities stay connected and succeed, Patch will shine a light on some of them through a series of Q&A articles during this time.

Milano Day Spa & Wellness Center is one of the businesses in Indian Head Park facing struggles during the coronavirus. You can lend your support by reading more about the company, below, and by donating to their GoFundMe page.

Tell us about your business and its history in your town.

I started my business four-and-a-half years ago. I wanted a space where people could relax and feel pampered. We call it an "oasis for the soul." It is located in the small town of Indian Head Park, but is accessible from many surrounding towns. Our technicians are very skilled and truly care about all of their customers. They always say they are relaxed the moment they step in the door. We give our all, whether it be a facial, massage, acupuncture, manicure or pedicure. Our customers can always expect a relaxing experience.

How has the new coronavirus impacted your business and its employees?

We saw the business being affected before the shelter-in-place order as treatments were diminished. With the order we are closed completely. We are uncertain when the order will be lifted and when people with our type of business will come back. I do not own the building so the owner is expecting rent. With no income coming in this is challenging and the future of the company is uncertain now.

How can local customers support you now and in the future?

We have been trying to keep connected with our clients so they know we are here and thinking about them. We have been selling inventory so that type of sale would be helpful and we can offer curbside service.

Do you have any words of encouragement for your community?

We have been privileged to be a part of this community and be their go-to spot for relaxation. We know that we are all in this together and we have hope and positivity for our community that we will be back to normal life and be all together better for it.

Are you offering any special services, promotions or hours during this time?

We have had product and gift card discounts during this time since we are unable to be open.

Are there any other outstanding businesses in town you think deserve some community support?

Bozena Day Spa, Willow Hill Restaurant and Heather & Vine Florist.
