Protocol for hairdressing students and their clients
MetrOasis will provide personal protective equipment for all of its staff and students. Students must wear masks at all times. One mask may be worn for the full day, but must be discarded at the end of the day. Students may choose to either wear a disposable bag which will be discarded after each client, or wear an apron which must be laundered and disinfected after each use.
After reception, the student will wash their hands and greet their client and drape them in 1.5 mil trash bag with a hole in the top for their head. Trash bags will be thrown in the trash after each client’s use.
Clients must wear masks, either their own or ours. Clients may remove their masks for a five minute interval as necessary (like applying color around the ears).
Students must wash their hands before and after each client.
Gloves are not required, as long as hand-washing rules are practiced. Students must wash their hands before and after each client.
Hydrolic chairs will be disinfected with spray disinfectant before client is seated.

General protocols for staff and students
MetrOasis must keep a pre-shift screening each day and keep a log.
Have you been confirmed positive for COVID-19?
Are you currently experiencing or recently experienced any acute respiratory illness symptoms such as cough, fever, or shortness of breath?
Have you knowingly been exposed to anyone who has been suspected/diagnosed with COVID-19, or has traveled and is exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms?
Have you traveled within the last 30 days?
If you are sick, DO NOT COME TO SCHOOL! Call Sue as soon as possible. If you have a fever, you cannot come to school within 72 hours (three days) of exhibiting a fever.
Appointments are required for clients. No walk-in services are available. The waiting area is closed to clients and students, as social distancing is impossible to control in that small area.
Clients must call 276-4110 when they arrive for their appointment and wait in their car until the MetrOasis staff indicates they are ready to accept them for their service.
Only clients, students and staff will be allowed in our spaces. No visitors, friends and/or family will be allowed to linger on the premises. An exception to this rule would be perspective students arriving for a tour.
We are not allowed to provide reading materials or beverages at this time.
Door handles and push bars will be disinfected every four hours.
Our booking procedures will not allow more than ten clients in each space at a time (10 for esthetics side and 10 for hair side) and the door between the two sides must remain closed at all times.
5 HEPA filters will be in operation on the premises: one in the reception area, one near the shampoo bowls, one in the front esthetics area, one near the paraffin station, and one upstairs in the classroom.
Clients paying with a credit card will hand their card to Sue and she will process it for the client. She will handle it with a disposable tissue. Clients paying with cash may do so, and change will be made with all paper currency and coins being disinfected at each transaction.
No clients or students will use the business telephone. Staff will use the business telephone which will be disinfected every hours.
The computer keyboards will be disinfected every four hours.
Make sure to always follow the social distancing guidelines. Be mindful especially in smaller areas, like the kitchen and theory areas. No more than three people in the kitchen at a time.
The rooftop deck is the only area where masks may be removed but social distancing is crucial!
