Back to Salon Guidelines
Your clients miss you & you’re ready to do some nails. That's why we created a helpful checklist to get you back to business confidently & safely! When in doubt, check with your state/local guidelines.
Prior to reopening
There are steps you should take to reduce the risk of exposure to help you and your clients feel more comfortable.
Sanitize and disinfect the salon prior to reopening.
Stagger appointments to limit the number of people in the salon.
Consider waiving appointment cancellation fees during this time.
Have adequate stock of single-use items such as files, buffers, etc.
Ask clients to bring their own mask, or if necessary, provide one.
Confirm appointments 48 hours in advance to ensure clients are in good health and have not come in contact with others who are sick.
Train your staff prior to reopening on the new salon policies and guidelines.
Reduce touchpoints
Discard any non-essential items, consider updating restroom amenities, consider implementing a no-phone policy, discontinue complimentary beverages, consider contact-less payments only to avoid cash exchanges.
Respect Social Distancing
If stations are set up closer than 6 feet, use every other station. There should be no more than 7 people per 1,000 sq. ft. in your salon (staff included). Temporarily close employee breakrooms.
Use the consultation time to explain the extra precautions your salon is taking, then proceed with the normal service. This isn’t the time to introduce a new service. Remember, this client wants to know they are safe to return.
Offer the client with damaged nails to do a reparative service. Avoid applying gels/enhancements until their nails are strong enough to hold product. Remember applying product to damaged nails can lead to premature lifting & more damage.
Clients With Overgrowth
Offer this loyal client a full set. It’s best to do a full removal of the old set to check for hidden greenies underneath. Water/moisture could have gotten trapped underneath and a tiny greenie could be hiding under the enhancement.
