COVID-19 Update

COVID-19 Update

 

Dear Salon@Church family,

The health and safety of our staff, clients and community is top priority, as we continue to work together to mitigate risk as it relates to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. In accordance with Provincial Guidelines, our doors remain open at 50% capacity, with enhanced cleaning procedures and social distancing measures in place. Please do your part in keeping our community safe, and do not hesitate to cancel your appointment if you are feeling unwell or showing symptoms. Our team is more than happy to work with you on accommodating a new date and time. 

 

The RETAIL Experience 

Please shop online whenever possible, to limit in-store transactions. Alternatively, you may place a curbside order through our Aura booking service, or call ahead to arrange an in-store shopping experience if it does not correspond with an existing appointment. Please phone the salon to inquire about product quantity, as our inventory continues to fluctuate in response to product availability.

The SALON Experience 

All guests are required to complete our COVID-19 waiver prior to your appointment. A temperature check will be performed upon entry and masks must be worn inside the salon at all times. Our stylists and their chairs are set 6ft apart to enforce social distancing measures, and workstations are thoroughly sanitized between each guest - equipment included. The salon will have capacity for guests only, and no friends or family will be permitted until further notice. If you require special assistance, please phone ahead to make arrangements. 

 The GUEST Experience 

Please check-in via text upon your arrival to the salon. You will be met at the door by a staff member who will permit your entry following a temperature check. All beverages and magazines are suspended until further notice, and all touchpoints are sanitized regularly, including bathrooms, salon seating and product. Hand sanitizer is accessible for guest use at various locations throughout the salon.

Your privacy is important to us

In accordance with the Personal Information Protection & Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) we will not inquire about the vaccination status of our clients, customers or staff. We will discourage any conversation related to vaccination on our premises for the protection of our employees and guests, and ask that you refrain from engaging in this behaviour until outside the salon. 

Thank you for your cooperation.

2020’s trending hair treatment

2020's Trending Hair Treatment

You have probably seen or heard that hair masks are the freshest addition to your self-care routine. We put our hair through a lot, including colour treatments, heat damage as well as throwing it up in a bun on those busier days. Let our stylists tell you why hair masks are an essential part of your hair care routine.

What is a Hair Mask? 

Only have a few minutes between calls, or need to get in bed early? Hair masks pack a big punch, providing moisture, nourishment, and protection in just minutes. Hair masks are treatments made up of nourishing ingredients like oils and butters that work to make your hair stronger and healthier. Hair masks penetrate deep into your hair to accelerate shine and repair damage.

When to Use a Hair Mask

As the winter months approach, it is important to hydrate your hair with more than your average shampoo and conditioner. Masks can be applied in the bath or shower, so they are perfect for an at-home spa day to keep your hair looking fresh between hair appointments.

What Hair Mask is Right for Me?

Like any hair product, masks should be targeted to your specific hair type and help repair dryness, minimize breakage, or maintain color-treated hair. 

Dryness: There are many reasons you may experience dry hair, including the weather, not using the right shampoo/conditioner, or even washing your hair too much. No matter the reason contributing to your dry hair, everyone would like hydrated, healthy-looking hair. Dryness is targeted best by using masks that contain oils, butters, and honey.

Our Stylists recommend Authentic Beauty Concept's Hydrate Mask. An intense yet lightweight that moisturizes normal to dry or curly hair brings back elasticity, bounce, and shine

Breakage: There are many masks made to target broken, damaged hair specifically. If you are trying to grow out your hair or maintain it between appointments, a hair mask is a great way to alternate trimming your ends. Masks containing proteins or vitamins will work best to rejuvenate your hair.

Our Stylists recommend Olaplex #3 an at-home treatment that reduces breakage and visibly strengthens hair, improving its look and feel.

Fading Colour: Colouring your hair can be damaging, but some want to update our look as the seasons change. Using a hair mask targeted to maintain colour will help build a protective layer over your coloured hair and extend the life of the shade you love. For colour treated hair, look for a mask that contains amino acids and is sulfate-free.

Our Stylists recommend Authentic Beauty Concept Glow Mask. This mask preserves hair colour and provides intense nourishment for colour-treated hair.
