PPE Utilization
Everyone (staff and clients) will be required to wear a mask/face covering at all times in the salon. Masks must be worn before entering the salon. Masks must worn correctly, covering both the nose and mouth.
On-Location Physical Distancing
Barriers are placed at our stations. These are mandatory for extra protection when strict physical distancing is not feasible for a specific task.
Technicians will wear a face shield when a barrier is not suitable for the service.
Only clients with an appointment will be allowed in the salon, due to reduced capacity limitations (with an exception of caregivers).
Hygiene
Required Hygiene Practices signage posted in areas visible to all workers.
Hands must be washed with soap for at least 20 seconds upon arrival in the salon.
Every client is required to wear a clean gown that will be provided.
Employees will change aprons in between every client.
Employees are encouraged to wash hands before and after each client and whenever necessary.
Employees will wear gloves when it is suitable for the service (pedicures, waxing, etc.)
Sanitation
Workstation and equipment will be cleaned and sanitized with EPA approved products after each client.
Workstations and common areas are cleaned regularly as assigned in the Housekeeping sheet.
Symptom Monitoring
Clients must self-screen for COVID-19 signs and symptoms before scheduling an appointment and entering the salon. If a client is experiencing a fever, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, muscle aches or new loss of taste or smell in the past 14 days, they will be asked to wait to schedule an appointment. All symptoms must be resolved for at least 14 days for rescheduling.
We reserve the right to refuse services if we feel it may be unsafe to perform services on a person that is showing COVID-19 signs or symptoms.
Employees will be screened at the beginning of their day by asking them if they have a fever, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, muscle aches or new loss of taste or smell.
Employees will take their temperature at home prior to arriving at the business, or take their temperature when they arrive. Thermometers used at the business are ‘no touch’. Any employee with a temperature of 100.4°F or higher is considered to have a fever and will be sent home.
Incident Reporting
Employees must stay home or leave the location when experiencing symptoms or when they have been in close contact with a confirmed positive case. If they develop symptoms of acute respiratory illness, they must seek medical attention and inform their employer-owner.
Employees will inform the owner if they have a sick household member at home diagnosed with COVID-19. If an employee-service provider has a household member sick with COVID-19, that employee-service provider must follow the isolation/quarantine requirements as established by the State Department of Health.
Employees will report to the owner if they develop systems of COVID-19 (e.g., fever, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, muscle aches, or new loss of taste or smell). If symptoms develop during a shift, the employee will immediately report such and be sent home. If symptoms develop while the employee-service provider is not working, the employee will not return to work until they have been evaluated by a healthcare provider.
If an employee is confirmed to have COVID-19 infection, the owner will inform employees determined to have been in close contact of their possible exposure to COVID-19 in the workplace but maintain confidentiality as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The owner will instruct fellow employees about how to proceed based on the CDC Public Health Recommendations for Community-Related Exposure.
If an employee-service provider reports feeling sick and goes home, the area where that person worked will be immediately disinfected.
Location Disinfection Procedures
All work stations, equipment, and community areas are defined and assigned as seen on the Housekeeping sheet.
COVID-19 Safety Training
All employees are trained on the businesses’ policies, these requirements and all relevant sanitization/disinfection and social distancing protocols.
Current and new employees will be trained about COVID-19 and how to prevent its transmission.
