The faculty and staff at Shear Ego announced the bittersweet decision yesterday morning that we would be closing our school down temporarily due to the rising concerns regarding COVID-19, the novel coronavirus. While we know that our students are eager to complete their hours, we know that closing is in the best interest of the health and safety of our students, staff, and community members.

As of today, all hour accruals will be paused. Similar to a snow day or holiday, this means that no absent time or scheduled hours will be added to your totals.

We plan to re-open with online, distance-based classes as soon as this coming Monday, March 23rd. Our instructors and administrators are working diligently to acquire the necessary approvals to host online classes and to ensure that our online platform is ready.
