WHAT WE'RE DOING
** Our entire space has been deep cleaned and steamed ( yes we steam!!! ) to ensure a healthy and safe re-opening...
Our space has always been one on one as most of you know. Now more than ever it's so important to maintain the well being of yourselves and ourselves. This can only be done if we are diligent in our cleaning protocols. That's why we are staggering appointments to ensure we can safely clean, disinfect and sanitize before, during and after your appointments.
We are using true (HEPA) filters in the ventilation system, will try to increase fresh air intake, and open doors when possible.
We have removed all our testers. If you want to test a product we will provide it to you, using one time use applicators.
We will remove items from high touch areas to limit the amount of touching. If you want to see something please ask and you shall receive.
Our entire space will be cleaned each and every day before opening including all high touch point areas to ensure a healthy, safe and sanitized environment.
Our washroom will be cleaned on a schedule to ensure it's always cleaned and stocked with the proper essentials needed to maintain health and safety environment.
Each service area, treatment rooms and seating will be cleaned prior to clients appointments and in-between services we will follow all sanitation and disinfection protocols for clients, ourselves and shoppers.
We will be wearing masks, face shield and gloves when appropriate and needed during your service appointments.
We have taken measures to understand the proper handling of PPE application prior to and removal as well as proper hand washing performed before, after, and during each and every service.
We have set up hand sanitizers in the entrance, front desk, manicure bar, treatment room area, washroom and areas where needed.
To ensure social distancing we will be taking clients by appointment only ( use our online booking system or call in ) those who want to shop our beauty and lifestyle shop ( Walk-Ins will have to adhere to our guest policies) ie wear a mask for services and for shopping. We are a small space and have pretty much always been a one on one environment which we love. We will be adding extra time and stagger appointments as to limit the amount of guests in our space to ensure cleanliness is being met each and every time.
We have a maximum capacity of 3 people in store at all times. Service appointments are one on one. Unless you are with a family member of the same household also getting a service. For those of you coming in to shop while someone is getting a service we will need to adhere to the maximum capacity so we may adhere our social distancing requirements.
We will ensure frequent cleaning and disinfecting of all high touch point surfaces including entry door, door handles, light switches, handrails, faucets, toilet handles, debit/credit machine, screens, counters, cabinet doors.
Surfaces that come in contact with customers will be disinfected prior to and after each customer service performed.
We ask that you ask to see products before touching them as to avoid any spread of contamination to surfaces. We will ensure all hard surfaces, furniture are cleaned with appropriate products for disinfection eliminate fungal, bacterial and viral infections.
If you are (trying on clothing) the items that you're not purchasing must be given back to us in order for them to be steamed and put aside for 72 hrs. There are no refunds at this time for any purchases.
We only use stainless steel instruments and glass files that can be scrubbed with anti-bacterial soap and then placed in a medical grade solution that is recognized by Health Canada. We've always used medical grade solutions here. We don't skimp on the health of our clients. We never re-use anything that can't be sterilized and disinfected. We have stainless steel tubs for our pedicure stations that are scrubbed and cleaned with anti-bacterial soap and we use the highest medical grade solution after each service.
The "spa massage chairs" are a breeding ground for bacteria. We personally don't believe that you can clean them properly so we've never used them.
Non - Sterile disposable gloves are worn for pedicures, facials and invasive waxing procedures.
We never double-dip our wax. That's so gross!
We use disposable paper where needed and launder linens after each use.
We don't perform acrylics here. Not only are they bad for your nails but you're also ingesting those harmful chemical fumes.
We look out for our clients safety. We want you to be safe and feel safe when you come here to get your services done. This is why we also don't work on clients with any fungus, warts, herpes or other communicable diseases. It's important that you tell us if you do have anything that may be harmful or transmittable to other clients or to ourselves. You wouldn't want to get something passed onto you so don't do it to others. TYSM.
We have to look out for each other. Please think of yourselves and us when booking your appointments and coming in. IF YOU FEEL UNWELL, PLEASE DO NOT COME IN. RESCHEDULE YOUR APPOINTMENT SO WE CAN ALL STAY SAFE AND HEALTHY
XOXO
