Thankfully, although there is still much to learn about the coronavirus, the CDC’s suggested protocols for addressing it are identical to those for reducing the spread of common cold and flu. Nonetheless, we are intensifying our efforts around best practices for virus prevention. Here are the specific steps we’re taking at Tinge Hair Studio:

• All Customers and Staff must wear Face Masks.

• Any staff member who could potentially be sick with fever, cold or flu symptoms is staying home. If a staff member shows cold or flu symptoms at work, we will send them home.

• We are posting signs about handwashing etiquette and are reinforcing that message throughout the day.

• In addition to our regular daily maintenance, we will start and end each day by wiping down all shared hard surfaces with disinfectant solutions.

• Throughout the day and between clients we will also disinfect shared surfaces such as door knobs, salon chairs, bathroom fixtures, and any shared tools such as hairdryers or clippers. Shared grooming tools like combs, clips and brushes are disinfected with Barbicide which also kills coronavirus.

• We are making alcohol-based hand sanitizer available to staff and clients at the front desk

• We will discourage hugs and handshakes with your stylist for the time being
