Hair by Ricky Lopez

A classic asymmetrical haircut my favorite!

To all my guest I am excited to announce that as of today 9/2/20 the county of Los Angeles has allowed hair salons to re-open! I'm excited to welcome each and everyone of you back into the salon! If you hold an existing appointment that day and time stands as is! If you don't hold an existing appointment you may book one on my online booking platform @www.vagaro.com/hairbyrickylopez... Or by messaging me directly so I can schedule one for you in advance as space is and will be very limited! I will be emailing everyone so check your inboxes Much love Ricky L

Yesterdays project...

I will NOT be participating in opening my business today 8/17/20 do to landlord/ Tennant contractual issues which I respect! But you can rest assured if I could I would be open and proud! I am still doing house calls for those who need their hair done and just can't wait until I open my doors again! I will however be standing in solidarity with my fellow industry peers who have my full support! ... Much love & Respect Ricky L #salonsaresafe #salonsareessential #saveoursalons @barbersocietyla @probeautyassoc @fred.jones.pbfc @salonrepublic @gavinnewsom @cagovernor @mayorofla @lapublichealth @capublichealth

Gavin Newsom + California Department of Public Health we urge you to #opensalonsnow The data we have gathered proves that #salonsaresafe! You cannot justify destroying an entire industry that pours millions into the California economy with a .000029 infection rate (based on polled salons). We stand with 621,000 licensed professionals for an immediate reopening. Salons are safe and absolutely essential to their clients emotional wellbeing, especially through these str...essful times. We’ve already seen dozens of permanent salon closures, which is heartbreaking and devastating! We will do everything in our power to fight for the salons and stylists that provide much needed (physical + mental) care for our communities. FACTS Stylists are trained to prevent infectious diseases, in fact, it’s the main focus of their 1,600 hours of education They use EPA certified hospital grade disinfectants (like Barbicide) to kill viruses including HIV/AIDS + Covid 19 between each client. They follow the additional strict protocols that were implemented by the State Board before they could even re-open and some spent thousands to comply, only to be shut down weeks later Salons have the unique ability to effectively contact trace since they maintain all their client data, you can’t say that about Walmart or Home Depot (and they don’t have the levels of disinfection either) #welovehairdressers #salonbusiness #salonowner #suiteowner #saveoursalons #hairdressingisnotacrime

Safety first Many of you may be concerned about the Coronavirus outbreak and may even have questions and concerns on what measures are being taken to protect your health while you are in the salon. I’m sending out this communication to provide some answers. Sanitation is always in practice, as mandated by the State Board of Barbering and Cosmetology. While we can’t provide a completely sterile environment, additional disinfecting and cleaning is being done after each client ...to help provide a little extra protection against the spread of germs. You can help us keep everyone healthy by frequently exercising proper hand washing with soap and warm water for 20 seconds. We ask that you please wash you're hands before entering the studio(restroom is on you're right hand side when entering the reception area). Hand sanitizer is available for you to freely use. At this moment we will not be extending handshakes, hugs but will acknowledge you. Feel free to limit conversation if you feel like it ( bring reading material or you're phone as we have temporarily taken away all magazines at this time). if you would like we won't take it personal I promise. We also at this time will not be offering any refreshments. As per new regulations until further notice we ask that you wear and maintain a face mask at all times while in the building! If you are ill or feeling symptomatic in any way, please be courteous and let us know and we will be more than happy to reschedule your appointment. Salon Republic is taking extra steps to protect everyone by: HVAC Fitting Ultra-Violet Light Technology: In order to further protect our salon environment, we have modified our HVAC system by installing UV Lights in the ductwork or near the AC coils. Ultra-Violet light destroys microbes like mold, bacteria, fungi, mildew, mold spores, viruses and other pathogens. With your help and a few extra precautions, we can still serve all of our clients through this uncertainty. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to ask. Thank you for entrusting us to take care of all your hair needs! With much appreciation, Ricky L
