As COVID is endemic and emergency declarations have ceased, please use your best judgement with reference to CDC recommendations, around all COVID-related issues, and reschedule appointments where necessary to reduce transmission/exposure to myself and my business.** I will do the same & notify clients booked within the last 2 days of possible exposure should I be exposed and/or test positive. My 24 hour cancellation policy is waived if you have to cancel for COVID-related reasons as long as you notify me upon first symptoms/exposure and/or positive test.
**In January 2022, the CDC shortened its quarantine/isolation recommendations. As they are recommendations, I have amended them to suit my business as follows:
- If you/someone you live with tests positive: Regardless of vaccination status, please allow 10 days to pass and for symptoms to resolve before rescheduling your appointment. If you live with someone who is positive, this time frame extends to 15 days, with the hope you can test on day 15 (also with no symptoms) from your household contact’s exposure/positive test; that is, test 5 days after the 10 days your household contact remained possibly contagious.
- If you/someone you live with is exposed: Regardless of vaccination status, please reschedule your appointment for after you’ve been able to test negative, with no symptoms, on day 5 after exposure. If someone you live with has been exposed, please reschedule for after he/she has been able to test negative, with no symptoms, on day 5 after exposure.
- If you/someone you live with has symptoms of any kind: Regardless of vaccination status, please reschedule your appointment for after you’ve both been able to test negative 2x.
SAFETY PRACTICES PUT IN PLACE
45 min is scheduled between clients for cleaning/disinfecting purposes, which will include sanitizing all frequently touched surfaces. Please wait in your car if you are any more than 5 min early.
Masking is optional.
I will have hand sanitizer available to use as you see fit.
Of course, as always, the table/face cradle linens you lay on will be completely turned over & extra attention to detail will be paid to sanitizing the table itself as well as the linens.
I will have a HEPA purifier running at all times for improved ventilation and air quality. As weather permits, I will also open windows.
