Meridian Salon

This Thanksgiving season we want you to know how grateful we are for your continued support. We appreciate that you carefully balance the need to keep social circles smaller while maintaining your self care routines. This year has been a team effort to stay healthy and keep our business secure. We take your health seriously and follow careful protocols to allow our business to remain open while protecting those in our space. Thank you for trusting us. We couldn’t do what we do without each of you. With Gratitude, the Meridian Salon team xoxo

Excellent news! We are clear for re-re-open, Monday 8/31. We will begin taking calls and making appointments beginning today, 8/28. Call or text for the most up-to-date availability for your specific stylist or nail tech. Safety and health guidelines are posted on our front window. We will continue limiting numbers of people in the salon to facilitate physical distancing, requiring masks during your entire visit in the salon, and doing a quick symptom screening at the front desk. We have enhanced our already stringent cleaning and sanitation protocols to protect our team and our clients. We can't wait to see you back in the salon.

Did you know that California is the only state with county orders for the closure of salons? While there is broad agreement over what are the most risky environments and behaviors during the Covid19 pandemic, there is evidence salons and cosmetology professionals carefully following the public health guidelines may not pose the same risk. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6928e2.htm

Checking in and hoping everyone is safe and healthy. We miss you all and can't wait to be back in the salon with you again. Wondering what to look for when it comes to salons opening in San Diego? Check out the county's dashboard. These numbers are used to modify public health orders. https://sdcounty.maps.arcgis.com/a/opsdashboard/index.html

Please sign this petition to ask the board that governs our industry in the state (California Board of Barbering and Cosmetology) to reconsider their stance that our services cannot be performed outdoors. The Governor's order worded the re-closure with the option to work safely outdoors, while our board confirmed they don't allow such activity. While Meridian Salon may not have the available space to take clients in an outdoor setting, we support all salons and licensed professionals who can do so safely.

You, walking through our door again... M O N D A Y 6 1 2 0 2 0

We have been given the greenlight to see clients once again. Following enhanced safety measures, we're looking forward to seeing you for hair services. We are in the salon starting today taking and returning calls, emails, and texts, with first appointments available Monday, 6/1. Be patient as we work through the amazing amount of supportive calls we're receiving. We will be updating your accounts with your most current contact information. You will also be sent our sanitation and safety protocols by email. Thank you for your support and patience. Re-opening our small business is possible thanks to your support. Let's get that hair looking great!

It feels amazing to throw the blinds back up in the salon and let all that natural light back in. We’re in the salon making appointments once again, with some appointments available as soon as Monday 6/1. Following enhanced safety protocols, we can’t wait to see clients back in our downtown salon home once again. Call, email or text for your hair appointments. Thank you in advance for your patience as we work through this all together.

Watch your inboxes and voicemails for some exciting preliminary information regarding the re-opening of Meridian Salon. We still plan to offer the same welcoming environment you've come to love about Meridian salon. After all, salon services are one way you can indulge in some comfort and self-care in stressful times. Understandably, there will be noticeable changes in procedures for health and safety. For starters, masks will be required at all times. Because in the words ...of MTV fictional boyband 2ge+her, we want to "say it, don't spray it. I want the news, not the weather!" But in all seriousness, we've put together some thoughtful procedures, in a phased re-opening approach to keep our cherished clients and outstanding team safer in these unprecedented times. We look forward to seeing you again and communicating with each of you in the coming days and weeks. See more

We are beyond grateful to the supporters of our Go Fund Me campaign. Also, a huge thank you to those who are reaching out for products and gift cards. We want to go back to business as usual, but there are so many fixed expenses to keep the roof over our silent blowdryers. Thank you, friends. Thank you, so so much. https://www.gofundme.com/f/meridian-salon

San Diego over here turning into an island to quarantine from Coronavirus.

As shared by our Jen Candelaria, still keeping us laughing everyday.

No Cure jokes, please. Too soon. Hope you are all staying safe. We miss coming in to the salon each morning, filling the coffee maker, saying hello to our first clients. It's a privilege that you you've chosen us since 1987 and we hope to be here for decades to come. Stay healthy. Stay in touch. We miss your beautiful faces.

Many have asked about the gift card option for supporting us during our sudden closure. Your thoughtfulness means a lot to us while we have no revenue coming in. We still need to maintain our lease along with so many other regular expenses. To make it easier, here is a link to buy gift digital gift cards. These can be used for all products and services with many of our team. If you have a question about your specific stylist, direct message me here, and I'll make sure your dollars go to the right person. -sahara https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/classic/ws
