Hair Salons, Spa's and Nail Salons Re-Opening

Cosmetologists of Chicago

Dear CC & ABS Family:

Good News! Thursday afternoon, we had a video conference meeting with Governor Pritzker’s Task Force to discuss the re-opening protocols for salons, spas, and nail salons. On behalf of the team at Cosmetologists Chicago, I would like to share with you the key message points from our meeting. Please review the following.  

Key Message Points

Thank you. I would like to sincerely thank the Illinois Task Force for taking the time to listen to our recommendations today. Additionally, I would like to thank Karen Gordon, President Cosmetologists Chicago, and Larry Silvestri, Past President Cosmetologists Chicago, for your support and leadership in the development of these recommendations.

Our license matters.  As licensed beauty professionals in the State of Illinois, we undergo over 1,500 hours of formal training before we receive our state-issued license. We understand how to properly sanitize our workspace for the safety of our salon guests.

Novel Coronavirus. We understand that the coronavirus is novel and additional protocols that are in alignment with the CDC guidelines need to be supported. Therefore, we recommended the following additional protocols in support of re-opening our businesses as soon as the State of Illinois authorizes:

 a.     All salon team members and guests will check their temperature upon entering the salon.

b.     Salon services will be performed on salon guests only when both are wearing a mask.

c.     Social distancing guidelines will be honored as much as possible. As a guide, salons will utilize every other salon station, shampoo bowl, and reception seat. If a salon has two stations, then each station will be spread apart so that recommended social distancing rules can be honored.  Single unit salon suites meet this recommended guideline.

d.     If the number of salon guests exceeds the safe social distancing capacity of the salon, then new guests will remain outside of the salon and will be notified when it is acceptable to enter.  

e.     Salon guests will sanitize their hands upon entry into the salon.

f.      Salon team members will sanitize their hands before and after each client's service.

g.     Each styling salon station will be wiped clean with an EPA registered disinfectant before and after each appointment.

h.     Disinfected capes, linens, tools, implements, and brushes will be used for each client.

The Task Force will be reviewing our recommendations and then drafting their suggested protocols to be shared publicly for comment.  As soon as the State shares this information, we will post the link. Our feedback matters so let’s review. Thank you in advance.

We are all in this together. With each passing day, our hearts ache for the day in which we can all confidently be the people that we’ve grown to be in the way that we have grown accustomed to being. Let’s all keep going, together. We will get through this period of time.

  One step at a time.

Our next step is re-opening and we hope that our recommendations to the State of Illinois will help us do that in a safe, practical, and affordable manner.  

Thank you for being you.  We believe in YOU.  

Sincerely,

Frank P. Fulco

  Brunettes for 2020 

I want to share with you, What the season's colors are for Brown hair.  

These are the most beautiful browns, most lip smacking mochas, and most delicious chocolates That are leading a charge to bring brunettes the respect they so richly deserve.

These bombshell browns.

“Somewhere along the line, brunettes in existence decided that they wanted to be blonde!?

 “What is happening here? Did Kylie Jenner go on her Snap thingy and declare it uncool? 

Are we still saying uncool? 

What was the sequence of events that we stylists evidentially missed that and brought us to this point?

Dark hair is friggin’ beautiful.

It’s stunning.

For SO many people, it’s actually the most flattering look possible.

Claude Thomas’s colorists expertise

 know lighting is key when creating a new hue. This is why professional salons set aside a large part of their budgets to create the perfect lighting so that clients can truly see their hair in its best light.

Madame Claude knows about the power and impact of lighting.

 This chart will show you the same golden blonde client with different light at different times of the day and in different situations 

(3 at home, 1 in a car, 1 in natural light at sunup and three in different areas of the salon included.  The same hair can look darker or platinum or even slightly peachy depending on the lighting of each photo.  

This is all about the lighting you are in at any given time.
 The tone looks different In each photo. These photos are unfiltered and unaltered in any way. And they were all taken on the same day.

Lighting has such a huge impact on hair color.

 “Just because a photo on Instagram looks a certain way on our phones, it doesn’t mean that person’s hair looks like that once they step outside or sit in their car or look in their bathroom mirror.”

So those super white blonde photos are usually a trick of the light. 

We can easily pull up this photo and show the comparison.

Claude Thomas Salon and Spa 5 Star Consultation

Hello to my clients and future clients to 

Claude Thomas Salon and Spa

 5-star consultations

Our team of stylists does not determine your look off of our expectations, our assumptions, our gut feelings, or our own interpretation of a trend as it is a sure way to have you revolving out of our chair and lose the potential of a happy and pamper client.

We want to build a lifelong trust of making you feel and look your absolute best. 

       Quite a few of my mentors have told me that this business is 80% people skills and 20% technical skills.

 We at Claude Thomas have tried and succeeded in 100% people skills and 100% technical skill.

 “I know that makes 200%”  We go that extra mile and why not.

We love what we do and we love making each client feel that.

The proper consultation is the gatekeeper of our success. Our goal is to ensure for you that we will get to know who you are and what your best look for you.

Everyone coming through our doors is unique and we treat our clients as their own individual person.

 Our goal is to win you over with our understanding of you and have your trust as your stylist.

So what is a  5 Star consultation?

Custom designing the style to the client's lifestyle, personality, and sense of fashion that compliments her hair texture, bone structure, and body type.
