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.
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.
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.
