The Impact of Hollywood Strikes on Celebrity Glam Squads
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Associated Press
The ongoing strikes by writers and actors in Hollywood have left hair stylists, makeup artists, and manicurists without work, exacerbating the financial challenges they already faced due to declining rates and the impact of the pandemic. Many of these professionals fear losing their homes and health insurance as they struggle to find alternative sources of income. The strikes have highlighted the long-standing issue of reduced pay for their work, with some earning only a fraction of what they did in the past. Despite their expertise and experience, many are concerned about the lack of online presence and the industry's increasing focus on influencers rather than professionals. The strikes have left these glam squad members in a precarious situation, with limited options for pivoting to other careers.
