Although we have bathrooms please note that even with reduced traffic it will be difficult for us to maintain the level of “disinfection” that we would like, we will have cleaning solutions available to you, however bathrooms will be considered a “use at your own risk”.
-
When your service is finished please do not touch retail products, let one of the staff put on a pair of gloves to assist you.

At the time of checkout please wait to be assisted and stay away from front desk until a staff member tells you it’s time. Please note we are trying to minimize contact where we can, for this reason we are only going to be accepting payment by debit, credit or EMT; cash and cheques be accepted. Until further notice , no exchanges or returns/refunds. If you have a cash gratuity you would like to give your technician we will open an envelope where you can place it in.
Please know that although you can’t see our smiles and our expressions we love you and care about you, we will try to make this time of transition easy and as much fun as we can. Let’s do what we have to so that this new way of doing things is short term.
