The general etiquette and way appointments are made has changed post stay-at-home orders. Salons are advised not to accept walk-in clients and only operate on an appointment basis. Each client will likely be asked about any COVID-19-related symptoms before proceeding with the appointment — likely via email or phone with agreed acknowledgement from clients of new policies in place. Technicians should only treat one client at a time to avoid any virus transferal.
Most salons will also operate on a no-cash basis, instead taking card payments on a system that can be easily cleaned when touched. Arrive to the appointment on time and alone (without children) and only enter the premises when the previous client has left. In addition to this, cancellation policies may be reconsidered for those sick or unable to attend last minute.
