MASKING FOR ALL APPOINTMENTS. VACCINATED ONLY. NO EXCEPTIONS.
Covid-19 protocols
FYI- FRINGE BELIEVES IN SCIENCE, AND FACT-BASED DECISIONS. IF YOU DISAGREE WITH SCIENCE, I MAY NOT BE THE RIGHT FIT FOR YOU AS A SALON OR STYLIST.
Below are listed the protocols I have implemented in an effort to create a safe environment for myself and my clientele. I appreciate your business and your patience as we traverse this new paradigm together.
SAFETY FIRST! Knowing that this virus, and the guidelines surrounding it will probably be with us for a long while, I followed the sage advise from my dad to DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. And while I have done my part to try to make it as safe as possible, all of you will need to do your part too. The following is a peek at some of the protocols and changes you can expect when you visit;
PLAN AHEAD! :
I WILL NOT ALLOW ENTRY OF ANY CLIENTS WHO HAVE EATEN OUT INDOORS IN PUBLIC WITHIN 5 DAYS OF THEIR APPOINTMENT. OMICRON IS SO CONTAGIOUS THAT I AM NOT WILLING TO TAKE THE RISK OF EXPOSURE.
*EVERYONE WILL NEED TO BOOK AHEAD. I will not permit walk-ins at this time, which means bang trims, neck shaves, product pick-up, etc will all need to be planned ahead. I have strict sanitation rules to follow, and I also need to keep building capacity to a bare minimum.
*When you arrive for your appointment, I ask that you are timely. If you are someone who is always 10 minutes early...thank you, but you will need to relax in your car or on the bench in our outdoor waiting area until your scheduled time.
PLEASE DO NOT ENTER THE BUILDING UNTIL YOU HAVE CONNECTED WITH ME VIA PHONE, AND COMPLETED THE INTAKE PROCESS.
I have a thorough intake procedure for new clients. I will get some basic info over the phone regarding your covid-awareness and risk-levels, which will require your absolute honesty. Existing clients will still need to check-in prior to entering the building, answering a short-form version. I will take your temperature upon entry to the building, and this information will be added to your intake form with questions about your current health, and any possible exposure to the virus. I will store these at the studio for 60 days, and will submit them to contact-tracers if requested.
* MASK ARE MANDATORY FOR ALL CLIENTS.
In the future I may allow mask-free appointments. In order to take advantage of a mask-free appointment
you must have on your person, PROOF-OF-VACCINATION.
CLIENTS ARE WELCOME TO BRING IN A PHOTOCOPY TO ATTACH TO YOUR PERSONAL FILE, SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT FORGETTING IT.
You are also welcome to email me a copy, which I am happy to print and attach to your file.
* I suggest that couples and/or families, book in group-blocks.
I have resumed shampooing services for any VACCINATED clients who wish. I have also started offering blow-dry and heat styling WHEN SCHEDULING ALLOWS. I still have many families with kiddos who are unable to get their vaccine due to age, and so I will not be offering blow-dry service within 2 hours prior to any kiddo appointments. If you are curious if this protocol affects your appointment, feel free to text me the day of, and I can let you know so you can plan accordingly.
* I also need to remind everyone that if you are more than 10 minutes late for your scheduled appointment, we may have to consider rescheduling, and there may be a no-show fee assessed. The new normal is creating a scheduling nightmare for all of us, and I have NO WIGGLE ROOM in my schedule.
We can find a way thru this new reality together, with compassion, patience, science and empathy. Please remember to wear your mask when asked, wash your hands, and maintain physical distancing guidelines.
Looking forward to seeing you all!
I stand by my declaration from late 2020....
IF YOU VOTED FOR TRUMP, FIND A DIFFERENT SALON. YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE.
We can do better.
Fringe stands in solidarity with those working to eliminate systemic racism. We are deeply troubled by the senseless killing of George Floyd, Brionna Taylor, and the injustice shown to countless others for hundreds of years. Building a better society requires all of us to participate. #blacklivesmatter #stopasianhate
