Your comfort and safety is my primary concern.
Please understand that this pandemic has affected all aspects of my business. I am diligently updating myself on the changes in this situation. Like many of you, I am figuring this out as I go. Thank you so much for your continued patience as we navigate through these uncertain times.

If you have knowingly been exposed to anyone that tested positive for COVID-19 in the past 14 days, are living with anyone who is sick or quarantined and / or have any symptoms of COVID-19 as outlined by the CDC, please reschedule your appointment.
If you are in a high risk category, please reach out to me and I will do my best to find an appropriate appointment time for you. This appointment will likely be in the early morning, prior to all other daily appointments.
When you arrive, please text me that you are here and wait in your car until I reply that I am ready to meet and greet you at the front door. Doors will remain locked during business hours.
Temperatures of all guests will be taken with a no-contact infrared thermometer prior to your entrance of the site. In addition, I ask that you take your temperature the day of your appointment and advise if there is any concern. Anyone who shows up with a temperature above 100.4 will be kindly asked to reschedule.
I will be wearing PPE at all times that includes a mask and protective garments, and may include gloves and a face shield for portions of your service.
Guests are expected to arrive wearing masks / face coverings. Any guest who declines / cannot wear a face covering will be denied service. If you do not own a mask, one will be provided for you.
Only one guest will be allowed in each suite space at a time.
Service and blowout times may be adjusted to allow time to completely disinfect / sanitize the work area between appointments.
I commit to you that if I experience any symptoms of COVID-19, I will promptly cancel appointments and will not reschedule services until I have been symptom-free for 48 hours.
If I am made aware of any potential exposure, I will immediately inform any potentially affected guests.
COVID-19 Preparedness Plan
Dreamboat has developed this preparedness plan to build upon the protocols identified by leaders in the salon and spa industry and in accordance with current state and federal government mandates and guidelines for COVID-19. We’ve taken a proactive approach to expanding our operating procedures and cleaning and sanitation protocols based on the stringent requirements of the State of Minnesota Board of Cosmetology Educators, Phenix Salon Suites Franchisor, Center for Disease Control (CDC), Minnesota Department of Health, OSHA standards related to COVID-19.
My top priority is to provide the safest environment possible to protect the health of everyone that walks through my door. This requires a comprehensive approach to addressing common area and individual salon sanitation standards. The health of my family and my clients is my priority and as a business of one, my personal health is a requirement for operation. I am not only a licensed hairstylist, I am trained in sanitation and hygiene and am used to protecting my clients and myself. I am prepared to take the added steps outlined in this plan to do everything in my power to prevent the spread of COVID-19 while continuing to serve my community.
The salon suite model was truly built for social distancing due to all suites being fully enclosed. fully enclosed and each having separate exhaust. I believe that my salon is safer than any office building in the city and know that I am trained to protect myself and my clients against the spread of disease through extensive hygiene practices. I will endeavor to execute a program that allows me to operate in a manner that minimizes risk for those coming in for services as well as to myself and my family.
I will prescreen myself and my clients prior to and upon entering my salon. I will be taking my temperature at the beginning of each day and will be taking contactless temperatures on all guests before admittance into the building. For all temperatures at or above 100.4°, for either clients or myself, the result will be to leave the premises. I will not put my valued clients and friends or family at risk by working with a fever or symptoms of the virus or any illness, as I have done for the entirety of my career.
Cleaning & Disinfecting
As per protocol, the common areas of the salon will be is fully cleaned / disinfected throughout each operating day following the guidelines of the Minnesota Board of Cosmetology Educators and guidelines set forth by the CDC related specifically to COVID-19 with EPA registered cleaners labeled as bactericidal, virucidal and fungicidal. We will also provide a hand sanitizer station in the front lobby and ask that all entering use hand sanitizer or wash their hands before services. All guests will be asked to wash their hands with soap and warm water for a minimum of 20 seconds prior to all services.
