Corona Virus Update – Reopening and Booking Details

A Lounge reopening commitment

We are watching many regions begin to reopen their communities and like, you, we could not be happier. They are with increased guidelines to ensure the safety and wellbeing of their residents which will just ensure our safety and well-being while Covid-19 remains a part of our lives.

 

Under the guidelines of Health Canada and BC Health Ministry we continue to monitor how it will affect us when we reopen our doors to ensure we protect our clients, our team and our community.

 

Whenever possible, please book appointments with our On-Line Booking to free up our team during the day to service clients.

On top of the normally high standards of maintenance we will introduce any and all recommendations of BC Ministry of Health.

Each of our team members has been BARBICIDE® Certified!

Carolyn attended the Beauty Safe Program and shared her knowledge with our team to assist us in ensuring we provide a safe working environment while we take care of you and your hair needs.

In compliance with the Health Ministers announcement of May 06, 2020, the following are some of the changes that will be introduced to ensure social distancing and increased protocols can be practiced to prevent the transmission of Covid-19 at The Lounge.
