We got the news yesterday that Salons and Barber Shops are not allowed to go back to work May 1st. Total Bummer but also I don’t know how I feel. I want to work but I want to work when everyone is in a healthy mindset and that’s not the case right now. So many feelings, opinions, and theories going on.
What we are doing now as Salon Owners to prepare for opening… when that day comes is implementing new rules and guidelines so that every stylist and every client feels safe and cared for when they walk through our doors. It will be so bittersweet. Here are just some of the things Grace and I went over today.
Making our shift schedule. Grace and I picked days for half the stylists to work at a time. We want to keep it a limited number of people working at a time with an empty station in between each person.
No stylist will be double booking because that would increase the number of people in the salon.
Clients and Stylists must wear masks at all times. No one will be allowed in that isn’t wearing a mask.
Clients will have to text when they are in the parking lot and they will be texted when to come up.
Every stylist will be responsible for communicating the rules to their clients so that everyone feels safe.
Making sure we have retail restocked for our clients.
Planning a deep clean once we know when we can go back.
Stay communicating with our team daily on SLACK.
We will not have our self service station with coffee or wine at this time to minimize germs being spread. So we will tell clients to bring a their Yeti’s of water, wine. We will still have La Croix, sodas, and beer since they are in a can and can be directly thrown away.
Every stylist will be responsible for having hand sanitizer at their stations.
No kids allowed whatsoever. One client per stylist at a time.
We will start booking clients once salons are allowed to open. Until then we will do our best to communicate with our clients on Instagram/ emails/ text / and blog.
To my clients personally :
I miss you all like crazy. I miss our conversations. I miss laughing with you, crying with you, and catching up on your life. Once I know a date we can open I will post on all my social media channels and you will get an email. Things are going to be different but this different way could be way better. Just depends how you look at it. Is there anything I can be doing right now to better support you or make you feel safe? Please let me know.
Are you following Do or Dye Tx on IG ? Right now we are continuing to do Product Orders!!! We are offering curbside pickup, shipping, or delivering within 3 miles of salon. If you need any products let me know. Send me a text or DM on Do or Dye Tx Instagram. If you need root color( not highlights) I can help you with that through Della Ricca, my friends professional at home color kits. This has been life saving for a lot of my loved ones right now. It’s so easy. I just send them your formula, they send you an invoice, and once you pay, they ship it to you right away. If you are not my client I can still help you, many people have been texting me photos of their hair so I can color match them. I’m here to help with your hair needs.
Once salons open up email bookbrandi@gmail.com for appointments.
See you on the Instagram until then.
