With the June 15 reopening of California and low Covid transmission rates in our area, I’ve revised the safety guidelines for the massage studio. My goal is to make everyone feel safe and welcome, no matter their risk tolerance or situation.
Surfaces. Based on research that says that surfaces are not a major way that covid spreads, we are returning to usual cleaning standards, and disinfecting just once a day. Obviously, any items that may touch a client’s face, like the headrest or pillows, are fully covered by linens. Linens are washed in a commercial laundry, which are capable of reaching the high dryer temps needed for sanitization.
What Hasn’t Changed
Standards for unvaccinated clients. Face masks are required. For those who get cold easily, may want to bring loose, comfy clothing. If it’s a cool or breezy day, we can work through clothing for your session if you like.
Healthy airflow. The studio has multiple openings to the outside. It also has a network of air filters and outward blowing fans, that are capable of filtering the air in the space 12 times an hour.
Time between clients. There’s 30 minutes between clients, during which the air in the massage studio is turned over about 3 times.
Touchless client access to things like soap, hand sanitizer, and paper towels
