Blown Away Reopens

Blown Away Reopens

Blown Away has reopened for business with new safety measures put in place to protect all of their clients and employees in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Owner JJ Krane sent the below guidelines out to clients and members:

-We ask that you please wait in your car until your scheduled appointment time. Your stylist will call or text you to come in to the salon once they have properly sanitized their station from their previous client. 

-You must be wearing a mask upon entry & at all times while in the salon. Please refrain from touching your face during your appointment.⁣

-You must sanitize your hands at entry and fill out a health screening form and waiver.⁣

-Because we are limiting the number of guests in the salon at any given time, we ask that you do not bring any additional guests with you, including children or pets.

⁣-Please do not touch any retail products on the shelf. If you need to purchase anything, a receptionist or your stylist will be happy to help you. 

-DO NOT show up if you feel sick, have been sick, or have been exposed to anyone with COVID-19, should you come in sick, we will ask you to leave. You will not be charged any cancellation fee.

-Guests must practice social distancing from other guests at all times.

-No food or beverages allowed inside and none will be served.

-We will only be accepting credit card payment at this time.  Please pay with a credit card at the time of booking.  If you want to leave a cash tip for the stylist, please put it in the drawer at their station.

Krane says, “The safety of our guests and the Blown Away Team is our main priority, so we are committed to meeting or exceeding all mandatory guidelines creating a safe, sanitized salon experience.”

Blown Away had been closed in accordance with St. Louis County stay at home orders the entire time businesses were told to shut down. Scheduling is currently not available online. Blowout appointments can be made by calling the shop at 314.932.1116 or emailing jj@blownawaystl.com.
