OAK HARBOR, Wash. — For Carolyn Merritt, the coronavirus pandemic provided and opportunity she didn't see coming.
"The stars aligned just right and a moment happened," said the Oak Harbor hair stylist. Last year, Merritt had just moved to Washington from Nevada and didn't qualify for unemployment when the pandemic hit. So, she decided to take a leap of faith and open a salon of her own for the very first time.
As she did her homework, Merritt learned the coronavirus lockdown was forcing another salon to close.
