COVID-19 RESPONSE

SHEAR BLISS HAIR STUDIOS REOPENING:
WEDNESDAY, MAY 20th 2020
 __________________________________________
We are pleased to inform you that we will be reopening our salon as of May 20, 2020!
Shear Bliss has been home to some of the most talented hair stylists West Vancouver has to offer for over 21 years! With our reopening, we are pleased to welcome new stylists to our team who look forward to getting to know you and helping you with your hair needs!
Our salon is doing a soft reopening with help from healthcare professionals to be sure we are over and above the PPE safety protocols, so you can fully be sure we are providing the safest possible environment for your personal care needs.
The team has completed both BARBICIDE® COVID-19 Certification Course and the BeautySafeGeneral Trade Practices course, qualifying our staff to safely operate during the pandemic.
Our team has implemented numerous policies and procedures to maintain the health and safety of our loyal clients and dedicated team as it will continue to be our highest priority.

Hours of business may vary. Please call the salon at (604) 926-0168 or your stylist.
Please DO NOT visit our salon if:

  •  You are experiencing any COVID – 19 symptoms including fever, cough, sore throat, difficulty breathing and/or runny nose.
  •  You have had close contact with a probable or positive COVID – 19 case.
  •  You have been advised to self – isolate for any reason including recent travel outside of Canada.

If you are uncomfortable with visiting us in person, we offer a contactless delivery or curbside pickup option through our new service ManeTain! This is a custom-tailored service to your personal hair and self-care needs, offering many products, including color consultations and personalized video lessons. We want to help you ManeTain yourself from the comfort and safety of your own home, but with the efficiency and experience you would receive in person from the Shear Bliss team!
For more information regarding ManeTain, you can find all of our products and contactless services offered at: https://manetainbeauty.ca/

  • We recommend arriving no earlier than five minutes before your appointment.
  • Guests will call to let us know they have arrived or give us a wave from outside.
  • We will either let you know you can come in or ask you to wait until your stylist has finished their previous guest and has had time to disinfect and sanitize their station.
  • We are communicating with guests to please be patient if we are running behind! Everyone’s hair is needing a bit more TLC than usual and we are taking extra measures to ensure everyone’s safety.
  • We will then call guests when we are ready to start the appointment(s).
  • Arrive at the door and give us a wave. We will ask them some pre-screening questions regarding any symptoms or travel before entry. We also ask you to agree and to sign a Guest Waiver Form.

  • No friends or family are permitted to join unless they have an appointment.
  • If you are experiencing any symptoms or feel unwell in any way, we ask that you reschedule your appointment, as you may be asked to leave if our team feels they cannot confidently perform their service.
  • We will have a strict no-show policy as our schedule is limited. Cancellation fees will be waved at this time, however, if you do not arrive for your appointment without notice and we do not hear from you, we will ask you to pay for this service in full when coming in for your next appointment.

Through these measures we feel confident that we can keep our team and guests safe, while providing an exceptional experience to our valued clients. There is a lot of uncertainty, anxiety, and confusion in our industry at the moment; this is completely understandable. Through these new procedures we hope to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 now and in the future, while still serving our clients.

If anyone wants to reach out with questions or comments towards our reopening, we are available and happy to help. Let us continue to support each other with positive feedback and input and problem solve together. The Shear Bliss team thanks you for your ongoing patience, understanding and participation through these uncertain times. We look forward to helping you through your hair and self-care needs, whether you choose to visit us in person, or order through ManeTain!

Sincerely,
The Shear Bliss and ManeTain Team
