Safe and pretty!

Hey Bownitas!

I wanted to write this little blog to talk about the new guidelines at the salon.

Today is Monday August 31st 2020 and I am OFFICIALLY back at the salon 😁😁😁😁😁😁

With that being said, there are new guidelines set by the State of California for new safety, cleaning and prevention measures. For the most part they are nothing new to what we all have been dealing with in our daily lives after COVID-19 rocked our world (and not in a good way at all).

To make your experience at the salon as “normal" as before, these are some simple ways to know the do's and dont's for your next hair appointment…

#1) Do- Do use mask at all times while at the salon (they are mandated and REQUIRED by the state). As uncomfortable or annoying as they may feel, we all have to do our part for the safety of you, my coworkers and others. MAJOR DO- Add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to the inside of your max to relax while I shampoo and massage your scalp away!

#2- Do- Do wash your hands when you arrive and as often as needed for 20 second with soap and water. We have 2 restrooms available and stocked with antibacterial soap and individual towels. Hand sanitizer is available throughout the salon as well.

#3- Don’t- Don't come in if your are feeling sick or ill or if one of your household memebers is sick or ill. Or if you had a gathering and one of those friends/family are sick, please let me know asap so I can reschedule between 14 to 30 days after. I myself will advise you and my salon if I feel sick or ill.

#4- Don’t- Don’t bring any extra guest to your appointment. Our capacity is limited at this time so please no kiddos, friends, moms/dads or your honey.

#5- Do- Do feel free to use contactless payment such as Venmo or contactless credit/debit cards. Also, do check your email for my COVID-19 liability release form (you can sign at the comfort of your home or office via DocuSign no meed to print it) which will be sent a few days before your scheduled appointment.

#6-Don’t- Don’t arrive to your appointment with sweaty, oily or greasy hair. Clean hair is always the best way to go to help me stay on track with my schedule. You may wash the night before or the day of your appointment, but please arrive with clean dry hair :)

#7- Do- Do enjoy your time with me! I absolutely looove doing what I do and I want you to enjoy your time! So please feel free to ask if you want water or coffee (no pastries or snacks available at this time…I know, I miss them too). Enjoy your time while at my chair and be assured I have taken all the necessary steps for cleaning, disinfecting and sanitizing procedures.

I hope i didn’t miss anything here but honestly, it's not as terrible as it seems as long as you and I put in the effort to follow the rules and guidelines (mask, wash your hands, use hand sanitizer and stay home if you’re sick). Cant wait to see you all Bownitas and get those pretty locks ready for the fall!
