Salon suite concepts MY SALON Suite, Sola Salon Studios, Salons by JC, Phenix Salon Suites and Image Studios banded together to issue a call to action to Gov. Newsom, representing 1,000+ locations nationally with 30,000+ self-employed beauty pros in 44 states. The suite concepts say more than 2.6 million services are performed in their establishments each month nationwide, with zero outbreaks to customers reported at any location.

At MY SALON Suite, clients are admitted by appointment only and are met at the door after a text indicates their stylist is ready.

MY SALON Suite—a national franchise that rents space for hairstylists, nail artists, massage therapists, tattoo artists, and other beauty professionals—is asking customers to remain in their vehicles until their appointments. “The beauty professionals let [the customers] know when they’re ready for them and then greet them at the door, where they take their temperature, make sure they’re wearing a mask, and then escort them into their suite,” says Natalie Sperr, owner of MY SALON Suite in Westminster and Louisville. Sperr says other safety measures include nightly professional cleanings, hand sanitizer stations throughout the building, and frequently wiping down the common area.

Randy Gunst owns My Salon Suite franchises in Glen Ellyn, open since January, and Oak Brook, which opened two days before the March shutdown.

All personnel in the suite are adhering to social distancing guidelines, as is the suite itself. Customers are required to ring into their specific barber or stylist before entering the lobby. They are then advised on whether to enter or to wait in their vehicles – the waiting area is no longer available for everyone’s safety. Once they are buzzed into the building, there is hand sanitizer in the lobby
