Covid-19
I just posted a detailed page outlining the new procedures we will be implementing inside the salon to ensure the safety of both our clients and staff. This important information now has its own dedicated tab on the home page of our website for easy access. I genuinely believe our salon holds a significant advantage over many other establishments in the area due to its size—there are only two highly skilled hairstylists working out of our cozy shop—and the thoughtful general layout we have designed. My station is conveniently positioned right next to the entrance, allowing for an abundance of natural light and a refreshing breeze when we have both doors open.
Both of us have been diligently wearing masks inside the salon, and we have been enforcing a strict policy requiring that everyone who enters the premises is also wearing a mask. I recently read an eye-opening article about two hairstylists in Missouri who tested positive for COVID-19, having seen around 140 clients during their time working. Remarkably, thanks to the universal mask usage, not a single client tested positive for the virus, apart from the two stylists themselves. In addition to the new procedures we’ve implemented within the salon, I’ve been taking every precaution possible in my personal life to minimize the risk of exposure.
I live alone and have been steering clear of large gatherings—actually, I’ve been avoiding any gatherings altogether. I’ve opted for grocery delivery services and have not set foot inside a store since early March, prioritizing safety at every turn. To support my overall health, I work out regularly. Although I’ve been staying away from gyms for safety reasons, I have a decent assortment of fitness equipment in my apartment that effectively allows me to stay active. I also make sure to take multivitamins, drink plenty of Vitamin C and Vitamin D, and try to soak up some sun by putting the top down on my car whenever possible. Attached below are links to the informative article I referenced regarding the hairstylists in Missouri, as well as the detailed procedures that salons and barber shops are required to follow here in California.
