Important News from Skinergize

As our community reopens, plans are on-going at Skinergize. The health and safety of my clients, myself and our families are of the utmost importance for re-opening and your visit.  

As a CA Licensed Esthetician, I have always owned and operated Skinergize under the laws governed by the State Board of Barbering and Cosmetology.  I now have new boards and laws to operate by during COVID-19 and their specific guidelines, those agencies include, Contra Costa Health Services, CDC guidelines, and the California Department of Public Health.

Many of you have asked me when will I start opening up for facials and skin peels again?  Per our Contra Costa County (CCC) Estheticians can open on July 15th (subject to any changes by our State and CCC).

In the meantime, I want to thank all of you for your support since March 17th.  Many of you have purchased products using the porch pick-ups and that has carried me through re-investing in my business to keep it safe when I reopen.  

Some of those items purchased are shown in the picture, Medical Masks, Shields, IR Thermometer, Gloves and those not pictured include hand sanitizers, touchless hand soap/sanitizer dispensers, touchless hampers, trash cans, new EPA approved products to disinfect called Hypochlorous Acid (HOCL) as used in dental offices to spray all chairs, doorknobs, faucets, products, basically, my entire office and restroom, as I also purchased a fogger to spray a fine mist over everything, new Hepa filter vacuum, I already had a Hepa filter Air Purifier, so I'll keep that running.  I have plans to purchase new bedding options and whatever else these agencies require or recommend. 

With all of these new steps to be in compliance, I'll be re-opening slowly, and starting with scheduling 2 clients a day, then hopefully, as time goes on, getting back up to 3 per day.  I was seeing 3-4 clients a day prior to COVID-19.  This has been a journey for all of us.  I continue to stay connected with Esthetician Facebook groups finding out new things to bring in and stay informed.

I hope you understand that with all of these new guidelines to follow, my practice will change becoming more clinical and addressing your skin concerns.  I will be updating my service menu to reflect those new changes and sending out new policy guidelines.  I am also working on a new website on Shopify for purchasing Face Reality Products.  This was a huge undertaking for me! 

With all of this work done and more ahead, I am planning to reopen by late July or early August.  I know it sounds so far away, but I will need to make sure everything is in place and would like to take a vacation with my family.  I'm going to start with rescheduling those who were scheduled to come in when COVID-19 started.  I have a list of client's confirmed appointments.  If you are not ready to come in yet, please, I understand and refusal is o.k.  

After staying at home, we all deserve some time to rejuvenate!  In the meantime, stay healthy!  Call me, or email me with any questions.  

Thank you,

Linda Riggs-Licensed Esthetician
