Health & Safety Preparedness Plan

Deb Lester’s Commitment

1. Lustre will abide by the guidelines and recommendations of the Minnesota Board of Cosmetology, State of Minnesota and the City of Minneapolis.

2. Deb will check her temperature before starting the workday at Lustre. She will evaluate her health to assess whether she is experiencing any of the identified COVID-19 symptoms. If symptomatic, she will cancel services until proper testing confirms she is able to see clients. Should she be diagnosed with COVID-19, Lustre will be closed and Deb will follow Minnesota Department of Health Guidance for return to work. Prompt notification will be given to all clients (CDC Interim Guidance for Businesses and Employers Responding to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), May 2020. Deb affirms she is part of the “high risk” and vulnerable population and will take particular care to reduce her risk of exposure.

3. Deb has decided to remove street clothes and don scrubs for her day at Lustre seeing clients. This includes shoes worn only at Lustre. She has stocked a supply of masks, face shields and gloves as required.

4. Deb has acquired three certifications for clean disinfection practices: Dermalogica’s Clean Touch Certified, BARBICIDE® COVID-19 Certification and the Vagaro COVID-19 Ready Badge.

5. Deb is taking special care to monitor daily appointments. Changes in operating hours at Lustre are being made to allow adequate time between appointments to ensure social distancing is supported and disinfection time is allowed. Daily client limit will be held to five.

6. Signage asking clients to refrain from touching products on retail shelves are posted and displays covered in a clear vinyl. Surfaces in the reception area and treatment room are cleared of decorations and printed materials. The upholstered chairs in the reception area have been removed and replaced with chairs that can be more easily disinfected. Tent signs will confirm areas have been “disinfected” or need “to be disinfected.” There are “cover your cough” signs posted in reception and the bathroom.

7. The bathroom will be cleaned and disinfected after each use with industry approved cleaner and disinfectant. A hand towel will be in a clearly marked covered container and a covered bin for soiled hand towels is clearly marked and located beside the door. Hand-washing signs are posted.

8. Tissues and touchless waste bins are located throughout Lustre.

9. Filters have been replaced in the air cleaner and HVAC system. HVAC inspection was recently conducted. A HEPA air filtering machine runs constantly and with client’s permission, the treatment room door will remain open to increase air circulation.

10. In addition to cleaning/disinfection efforts previously noted, covered containers marked “clean” and “soiled” will be used in the treatment room.

11. Only equipment used for your service will be in the room. Equipment will be cleaned and disinfected after use.

12. Clean linens, towels, head wraps, personal protection equipment, disinfected treatment equipment and disposable supplies will be stocked and stored in a designated “clean room.”

13. The laundry room has clearly marked and covered bins for soiled towels and sheets. A laundry additive to reduce/inhibit pathogens will be added to every load of laundry. Clean laundry will be removed immediately to the “clean room.” Only Deb will access this room.

14. All mail and deliveries will be directed to Deb’s home where their disinfection will be ensured before being brought in to Lustre.
