May 15, 2020: BC’s Provincial Health Officer has just lifted restrictions for the personal services industry.  Hair salons may begin to reopen starting May 19th.  However, there is a long list of protocols we must follow outlined by WorkSafeBC.  As part of developing our COVID19 Safety Plan, we are in the midst of making substantial changes to our hair salon.  Here are some of the changes we are making:

  • Improve air flow by installing 2 negative pressure fans allowing inside stale air to be expelled and allowing fresh air drawn in. 
  • We will  be installing an electric strike system at our entrance so that we can monitor our limited guests to come in and prevent wandering walk-ins during a service. 
  • We will be changing client management and workplace, changing our ways to provide our services.
  • We will be switching to a touch less payment technology.
  • We will be enhancing our already established cleaning and disinfecting practices (Beauty Safe credential received).

In order to welcome back our long awaited clients, it is essential for us to make our staff and guests feel safe and comfortable in our new environment. Therefore we ask you to wait just a little longer until we are “READY” to take care of you again.   Based on our current schedule for installing the two new HVAC systems, we are expecting to reopen first week of JUNE 2020.    We will keep you posted.
