I just saw this on another hairstylist’s page, I will have a couple of my own rules/guidelines to add to this as well, but this is pretty awesome. I am hoping to start Tuesday May 5th. I will know for sure this coming week if they will be allowing us to come back at this time. I will also have new pricing, so be prepared for that.
✂️Yes- salon’s will reopen- at some point- it’s different for every state, every salon✂️
What can CLIENTS do, to help salons navigate a new ‘normal’ you ask??
-Know you were missed terribly and your stylists is grateful for your return
-Know safety measures were created for all involved.
-Know the importance of coming **alone** as extra people in a salon compromises everyone.
-Know your stylist cannot physically work 16 hour days 7 days a week, rest is essential for all..
-Know your initial services will take more time. *Especially if you cut or colored your hair yourself.
-Know that coming in sick *isn’t* an option
-Know that rescheduling hundreds of clients will take time.
-Know that when you arrive you will need to wait until your stylist gives you the go ahead before entering the building, having your cell phone handy in your car will help considerably.
-Know that your stylist is thrilled to see you, and even though she/he may *want* or *need* a hug, your presence, is the best hug ever.
-Know that your health and the stylists health is the biggest concern
-Know that your stylist may choose to open at a later date than the state your in has allowed, being respectful of that decision takes an unimaginable load off his/ her brain and heart.
-Know your stylist has already lost thousands of dollars and has no desire to replace it with a ventilator for either of you, so please be patient.
-Know that if your health is already high risk, you need to wait, your health is more important.
-Know that your opinion of the entire situation won’t change laws and rules necessary for everyone’s safety so plz keep the conversation to hair and how we can make you beautiful.
-Know that while trying to connect with your stylist, there are hundreds of others attempting the same thing, responses will be slow coming as your stylist is preparing everything and answering everyone simultaneously
-Know, above all else, no one is more excited about your arrival than your stylist- help make it the best appointment ever!
Together we can make this work safely for everyone.
