Dear Hot Mess family, we want to let you know we are temporarily closing. After a couple of weeks, we realized that our standards were not being met, and we couldn't continue to operate without making some changes. We take full ownership and responsibility for this situation, and we're working hard to address these challenges and get back up and running as soon as possible.

Thank you for your understanding and support during this time. ❤️ We appreciate your loyalty and can't wait to welcome you back to the Hot Mess experience you deserve. Stay tuned for updates!
