[[UPDATED SEPTEMBER 22, 2020]]
Hey everyone!
I wanted to take a quick minute to talk about something important, the hot button topic, COVID-19.
Here at Kay D Artistry, keeping you, our client, healthy and safe. Providing a clean, safe environment for you and your service is my #1 priority.
HAIR:
All hair services will be conducted in the same manner as always, with the addition of wearing a mask. While following Colorado state mandates, both the client and the stylist will wear a mask at all times.
MAKEUP:
[[Edit 06/01/2020:]] Full makeup services are permitted as of June 1, 2020. A face shield and mask are required to be worn by artist for each client. The client having their makeup done is not required to wear a mask for the duration of their appointment.
THE GOOD, GOOD:
Hair and makeup artists are required by law to be aware of their sanitation and infection control practices at all times. My personal makeup and hair kits and the workspace have always been
