Studio 740 on Rupert

Studio is closed for vacation June 23rd-July 21st, I won’t be reachable for appts or changes between those dates, please call back after the 21st, or if necessary leave a message on my voicemail. Thanks everyone

Just a heads up to anyone coming over the next couple of weeks, there are road works happening almost outside my driveway, one way traffic, you may have a hard time getting in through traffic. I don’t think it will last more than a few weeks. Thanks for being patient

Thank you to all my clients, friends, that have made 2020 a little easier in these strange times, I look forward to seeing you all in 2021. Stay well and healthy💕🥂🎆

New salon pup!!!

To all my clients, we have had our mandate lifted and can reopen May 19th, this has been a lot of confusion for my industry and nothing has been made clear until today, please be advised I WILL NOT be reopening until June 1st, in the time between now and then I will be calling to rebook your appts,please be patient, as you all have been, your all important to me, however this is not going to be a quick rebook, I will only be seeing one client at a time, which can make this very time consuming, please be advised all clients will need a mask when coming to the salon that goes around your ears, and everyone will need to come alone, and wait until the person before has left the salon and I come and get you as I will need time to clean between appts. Thanks for your patience and I hope to be seeing you soon😊🥂💕

It’s exciting to hear I may be able to open again towards the end of the month, I’m keeping informed on what this is going to look like, before rescheduling appts. Hang in there, it won’t be long until we meet again my friends!!!

To All My clients, I want you to know that I appreciate your patience and support during this time of uncertainty. I am texting/calling my clients day by day, week by week, having to cancel your appts. and am not rebooking at this time until we know exactly when the end is in site and it’s safe for us to go back to work. This is not something I am mentally taking lightly, and has been a difficult day by day mental struggle. I have family that are immune compromised and I need to be somewhat in contact with them, so I will be closed until my industry is deemed safe to go back to work, what this looks like yet we don’t know, it may mean we all will be wearing masks, gloves? And then that will depend on whether I can obtain these items. I just got a copy of the order for my industry to stay closed, this may change at anytime but I’ll post it on here and keep you as updated as possible. I will be reaching out to those that have appts in the coming weeks, and if you have prebooked for later in the year those appts will still stand at this point until we need to adjust or change them. Thanks for hanging in there, if your needing any advice on trimming or coloring your hair, if you must, you can call me anytime. ORDER OF THE PROVINCIAL HEALTH OFFICER

To All my Valued Clients, in the wake of this covid -19 crisis, I am choosing at this time to close my doors. I’m hoping for a 2 week closure but will see closer to that time what the recommendations are at that time, this is a difficult time for us all, please know I haven’t made this decision lightly as it is going to be financially tough as both my husband and I are self employed. I will text or call upcoming appts starting tomorrow and we hopefully can arrange a later date for you. Thanks for your understanding.
