Once again, we will close due to Santa Clara County’s mandate starting Sunday night through January 4, for now. We are hoping this move drastically shifts the course we are on. Through the hardships and struggles, we are so thankful for and cheering on our heroic medical workers who are enduring this crisis and caring for patients through these unbelievable times. We also want to recognize and show gratitude for the countless workers in service fields who are helping us all get through these times. Let’s stay safe and well by doing this together, knowing every effort counts. #opusarcade #covid19 #shutdown #healthcareworkers #heroes

Through this pandemic, we are humbled and grateful for the loyal support of our salon family of staff and clients as well as our surrounding community’s generosity. It has been essential and why we are able to be open for business. We’ve had heart warming moments, meeting new friends who have been so conscious through this time, making extra effort to reach out to us to support our small, local business. The beauty of sharing, service and support is what brought Opus Arcade to life and continues to sustain us. On this Giving Tuesday, we want to also highlight Charity Navigator, a nonprofit evaluator, that has helped us find ways to give beyond our space. We hope it can help you too. #givingtuesday #opusarcade #charitynavigator #paloalto #hair #salon #smallbusiness

Feels so good to slough off dead weight. Bringing fresh new looks and life has elevated to higher values and level through these times. It is so wonderful to help with lightening the load and adding a pep in steps. Such a pleasure. #opusarcade #hair #brightening #lightening #happiness #freedom #paloalto #salon #oasis

Been so longgg. Welcome back #opusarcade #paloalto #hair #salon #safe #comfy #oasis #fresh #newera

We are back in house, friends! Thanks to the revised California orders and approach, we get to see you at the salon again. Please reach out to your stylists directly to schedule with them. You can follow their link at www.opusarcade.com on the stylist pages. You can also email us at [email protected] for any assistance you need in moving forward with us. Looking forward to sharing space, time and good hair with you soon!

Friends! We have some news we will be looking into, but want to share that it looks like this newly released, effective 8/31/20, CA COVID-19 system is stating we are able to be open soon, indoors again. We will update you with more details when we get clear on the specifics, but keep an eye out and hope good things are on its way for us all, please!

Oribe, once again, is showing their dedication to and support of their family of hairdressers. As we are still in the midst of very uncertain times, they have relaunched their program supporting their small business partners here in California. You can purchase their beautifully and thoughtfully crafted products at Oribe.com and enter our special code: opusarcade at checkout to provide us commission and support. Let’s keep staying beautiful, healthy and alive together. #oribe #oribeobsessed #opusarcade #paloalto #hair #salon

We are all adjusting to this new normal of opening and closing as we try and meet the challenges of this time. We are with you and sorry it is difficult to get excited and planned out for our reunions and the thought of beautiful hair again to then have it abruptly put on pause. Thank you for your patience as we all watch and wait for further notice of when we can reopen. While frustrating, it was nice to get a little taste of how wonderful it will be to work again and see you, hopefully soon.

Santa Clara County has released a date for us to reopen (pending final approval by the State)! We are thankful for the time we’ve had to plan and prepare to come together again and are so excited to see you again in our newly designed space! As we are finalizing the preparation and steps to reopen set forth by Santa Clara County and the CDC, please be assured that all of our safety and comfort is the top priority as we move forward into this uplifted direction together. Please reach out to your stylist at Opus Arcade to get more details on the protocol we have created to ensure the highest standards of safety we can provide. We so look forward to being together and bringing beautiful experiences to life again. See you soon! #opusarcade #paloalto #hair #salon #reopening #savethedate

Everything is a work in progress. Hanging in and on together with you. This ride is still going and there’s all sorts of bumpy, rough patches, now and ahead. Let’s definitely keep helping each other to see and feel the positives of all this change and growth, and take in as much of the beauty throughout it that we can. #opusarcade #workinprogress #change #growth #paloalto #hair #salon

We are so thankful and excited to be a part of a community that values our place here and has made moves to support us. The City of Palo Alto created grants that small businesses could apply for and be chosen by lottery to complete the application and approval process. We were part of the first seven chosen to receive their support during this very uncertain time for many of us small businesses. This is wonderful news during this time of waiting while continuously working to modify and revitalize our space for a hopeful reopening next month. We are so looking forward to seeing and working with you again! Counting the blessings as we count the days. #opusarcade #paloalto #hair #salon
