WE WILL BE OPEN May 4th! Well it has been a wild time. We are ready to open shop, but not without some required health mandates to keep you and us safe. We will have to start very slowly, with fewer clients a day to make sure we are following all the safety standards. 

These will be posted at the front door and at all workstations. 

Here is what we need from you:

– Face Masks must be worn in an out of the salon, and during service. Masks may be removed for a short time as needed to complete services. 

– Clients must wash or sanitize hands when entering the salon.

– No beverage service can be provided and waiting room is closed.

– A text or email confirmation of a health questionnaire completed the day before service. This will be sent out with confirmations and will be required before every service. 

-Reservations only- no walk ins permitted.

-Only customers receiving services may enter the salon, except for the parent or guardian of a minor who is receiving a service or a guest that required special assistance or care giving. 

-No more than 10 people allowed in the shop, including staff and clients.

-Please wait in your car and we will text, call or wave to your when we are ready for you to come in. 

-For retail only purchases, please call in your order so we can have it ready for curbside pickup.

Here is what you can expect from us:

-Stylists will be wearing masks at all times. 

-All surfaces are cleaned before and after each guest. Including chairs, workstations, floors, shampoo bowls, door handles, anything within 6 feet of guest, etc.

-Hourly disinfecting of touch points including bathroom, door knobs, workstations, equipment, etc.

-No Double Booking. Only one guest per stylist. 

-Sealed and Disinfected tools, towels, capes, styling products, etc.

-The hours from 10am-12pm are reserved for elderly or at risk guests. 

With these new mandates in place, appointments will need proper spacing and adequate time between guests to clean properly. Thank you for your patience while we navigate these new standards. We will be reaching out to reschedule you in the next several days. We have a long list and are trying to play catch-up. We will not forget you! 

We’re not scared, We’re prepared!

Dearest Guests:

We desperately miss you and were hoping to be back to work by mid April but the governors new mandate states that non essential business closures are extended until lifted.  With no end date in site, all appointments will be cancelled until we know more. 

We will be reaching out periodically and the best way to keep up with us is on Facebook and Instagram.  Our supplier is also closed until further notice, so all I have in stock is all I will have for a while.  If there is anything you need, please call or email and I can arrange for NO CONTACT curbside pickup and email invoices to pay online.  I will be having some super sales on Facebook and Instagram in the following weeks. We appreciate your patience and love. 

The best way to support us is to be there when we’re back. In the meantime please follow us on social media, write us a google review, grow out your roots, and wear that mullet that your going to have in a few weeks with pride! 

I borrowed this message from @gina.devine and I think it rings true:

We’re just going to say it.

If you feel like you need to box color your hair.

If you are cutting anxiety bangs.

If you are worried about money that you go back to brunette because 

You don’t know where your next paycheck is coming from.

We support you.

We know how to soothe and fix your tired strands.

We can safely lift box color.

We will work it out.

We will not shame you.

And your life, your health, your family, your finances, your 

Survival will always mean more than your hair.

It was OUR CHOICE to choose this career.

We’re also scared.

But we’re more afraid of losing a loved one, or taking our last breath 

On a respirator than we are of not making money. 

We are here when you need us, hopefully as long as our lungs don’t fail us.

Just be healthy and safe.

We will see you on the flip side. 

Lots of Love 

Wendi and Mary?

Attention Guests:

It’s with heavy hearts that we have made the decision to close our salon until Tuesday April 14th.  The mayor has just released a “hunker down” order until March 31st, but the way this has evolved we are anticipating a longer required closure. We were hoping to stay open longer, but it is impossible to do our jobs and keep a safe, social distance. Even with lengthy sanitation, it just wont work.  The health and safety of us, our families and you are a priority. We apologize and know you will understand and support us. We will reach out to clients with appointments before that day and kindly ask you to reschedule.  Here are some good things:

– We will be available 12-2pm, Wednesdays and Fridays for curbside pickup of products. Please text Wendi at 907-301-1440 or call ahead with your order and we can run your card over the phone. 

-All curbside pickup orders will be sterilized and bagged for your protection

– FREE gift in every curbside order.

-Every Curbside order will receive an entry into our “Back to Normal” Bundle. Which includes a 8oz Shampoo and Conditioner of your choice, color locking system, Elevate hairspray, Formation Styling foam and a complimentary haircut.  When were back in business we will draw a winner.  

-For our REFILL customers- We have your REFILL on file and will honor the REFILL price on new bottles.

-Look for specials coming soon. In the next few weeks we will be having super sales that you can claim and pickup at curbside service or hold for your next appointment. 

We are all in the same boat while we figure out how to settle in to the new normal and navigate the future.  If mandates change, we will adjust as needed. Thank you for your patience. This will go into effect Saturday, 3/21/2020 at the end of day.  Stay well, stay healthy and stay safe!

Love Wendi and Mary

Attention Guests:

We want you to know we take outbreak of COVID-19 seriously and are intending to conduct business as long as possible with additional measures in place to prevent community spread. 

– Magazines are removed.

– Disinfecting of client chairs and common areas after each client or more as needed. Including light switches, door knobs, iPads, bathroom fixtures, etc.

– Spacing guests further apart to prevent crowding.

In addition we would request:

-anyone who is not feeling well to please reschedule for a later date.

-if you have recently returned from an area that is high risk, please wait 14 days before coming in.

-if you fall in to the high risk category as defined by the CDC, we encourage you to use strong judgement and consider postponing your appointment until health officials determine it is safe to be exposed.

With the absence of school and daycare Wendi’s schedule will need to be altered for a while to take care of her son. Those clients will be contacted and rescheduled. 

We want to do our part to keep everyone healthy and safe.  The news has been changing so quickly that we may need to take an extended break. We will update as needed.

Much Love – Wendi and Mary
