Hi Everyone!
I hope you are all staying healthy and adjusting to the ever-changing environment of a semi-post-COVID life. As you know by the latest news, there are some new mask mandates being officially announced. This is how it will effect your visit:
Effective today, seven Bay Area counties, including San Francisco is requiring masks to be worn indoors. At this time, I have NOT been told that I cannot do facials so I'm continuing with business as usual, except for making sure you wear your mask up until the time I will remove it for your facial. And then you will need to put it back on immediately after treatment. Please continue to abide by the studio requests listed below.
Also, it is very important that if you receive the COVID-19 WAIVER from me via email, that you sign and return it (digitally) the day before your appointment. It is mandatory. Thanks!
I am still following the latest recommendations from the State Board of Barbering and Cosmetology, CDC and SF Department of Public Health. As you approach your next appointment, these are a few changes you will notice:
I will be emailing you a waiver/questionnaire a few days before your appointment to make sure you are healthy enough to come in for your treatment. If the email is not replied to by noon the day before your appointment, I will have to reschedule your appointment.
No additional friends, family or pets will be permitted in the studio, except for a parent or guardian accompanying a minor.
- Upon arrival at the studio, you will be screened for temperature and/or symptoms. If you are showing signs of illness, your appointment will have to be rescheduled.
- You must wear face covering through any service that does not require face to be exposed or up until we begin facial treatment.
- You must adhere to social distancing of 6’ when in studio.
- Please be on time, since there will be no overlap of clients for the health and benefit of all my clients.
- I will be implementing thorough cleaning and disinfecting protocols (as required by the State Board of Barbering and Cosmetology and the CDC).
- I have installed HEPA filter air purifying units in both the waiting area and treatment room.
- I will perform thorough cleaning in high traffic areas, such as reception areas, and areas of entering/exiting including stairways and handrails.
- I will frequently disinfect commonly used surfaces including credit card terminals, counters, iPad, reception area seating, door handles, light switches, phones, toilets, and handwashing facilities.
- Use of hospital grade, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-approved products to clean and disinfect anything the client comes in contact with, including treatment tables, face cradles, stools, bolsters, doorknobs, side tables, chairs, etc.
- Linens and blankets will be changed between clients whether they are used or not.
- I will be wearing disposable gloves and mask.
- In order to reduce touch points, there will not be books and magazines out.
- No food or drink from outside should be brought to the studio.
- There will be a designated area for you to place your clothes if you change so that area can be cleaned easily between clients. I prefer you some dressed in comfortable clothes to wear during your facial, no gowns will be offered.
🌸Even with all the disinfecting, etc. you know that you can always expect a very warm and welcoming space for you to relax in at Andrea Total Skincare! I really look forward to seeing you all again soon!🌸
