COVID-19 Updates, Protocols & Waiver

To our Amazing Guests:

We would like to thank you for your patience and support during this difficult time. The health, safety and well-being of our guests, team and community are our top priority. As such, we have been working diligently preparing for our re-opening.

At J&C we have always provided the highest standards and will continue to do so during this challenging time. The best way to handle the increased COVID-19 directives is to treat everyone, including ourselves, as if we could be infected.

As we obtain more information in regard to guidelines, safety precautions and re-open dates, we will update you all through social media outlets and via email.

We have compiled numerous precautionary measures which exceed New York State guidelines, to ensure the safest experience while in our salon. The following list will outline those protocols as well as inform you of what to expect upon returning to the salon.

We understand that you are all eager to be rescheduled, as we are. We’ve canceled many appointments over the past 8 weeks. We will call each guest whose appointments were canceled. To be fair to all, calls will be made in order of original appointments.

Please refer to the protocols below:

We encourage all guests to bring in minimal belongings to your appointment. Please lock them in in the trunk of your vehicle.
Only customers receiving a service will be allowed in the salon.
We ask all guests to please call the salon at 518-608-1419 upon arrival and remain in your vehicle until called/text messaged to enter the building for your appointment to ensure minimal occupancy in the salon.
We have set up an entry station for sanitation & communication upon arrival. Temperatures will also be taken.
Once you have been checked in your stylist will meet you at the front area to bring you to your designated station for your appointment.
Each area, all tools, stations and equipment will be sanitized and/or disinfected between each client and logged.
Masks will be mandatory to receive your service, they will not be provided.
It is not mandatory to wear gloves as long as you are following hand sanitization procedures.

Please understand if you are getting a color retouch, you may have an up-charge for your color because of the need to use more color than usual.
All future appointments will be made by your stylist via Vagaro app at the station to eliminate time spent at the front end.
Cancellation/no-show policy – We will not be penalizing for any last-minute cancellations due to being sick. However, please provide us with information as soon as possible so we can adjust our schedules accordingly. We are trying our best to get every client back in as soon as possible. Our time is as valuable as yours, so please respect that appointment spaces are limited.
Confirming your appointment – If you do not confirm 24 hours prior to your appointment you will lose your appointment and be charged $25 or a 25% up-charge for your appointed service.

Rest assured, we hope to get back to a new normal and offer many of the added value services and extras you have come to enjoy. These protocols will continue to be adjusted as needed and we will keep you informed throughout this process. We look forward to seeing you at J&C and appreciate your continued support.
