Georgina Mauriello, owner of Georgina’s Hair Studio, 290 Boston Post Road, Orange, next to Knight’s, will open tomorrow, Tuesday, June 2, and already is fully booked.
She said it took a lot of work preparing for the re-opening after closing due to the state’s COVID-19 order back in March, but she is confident that she and her small staff are ready to comply with all the safety regulations.
“We had to order a thermometer, and we moved the stations so they are all 6-feet apart,” she said. “We no longer have a waiting area.”
All customers are served by appointment only (Click HERE and choose your day and time to make an appointment). Drive to the back of the building and call when you arrive. When your turn comes up, put on a mask (everyone must wear masks before entering) your temperature will be taken and you’ll be brought in.
If you are having something special done – coloring, perm, etc that takes extra time, you will go outside and wait until your hair is ready for the next step – This will allow another customer to come in and get a haircut.
After each customer, chairs and counters will be wiped down with bleach or another approved disinfectant cleaner and brushes and combs, scissors also will be cleaned. The floor will be swept and the next customer will be allowed in.
The new process will take some getting used to, but, with practice, it will move along like clockwork in no time.
Right now the studio will definitely be open Thursday-Saturday, check the SITE for the day to day schedule.
