The Barber Academy: Schaumburg

Have a safe and happy 4th!

Phase IV Guidelines! Still no beard trims permitted unless a student provides their own shielded face-mask! We can also have up to 50% capacity and use blow-dryers!

The state published Phase 4 guidelines this morning, which is linked below for the beauty industry.

Of note, the capacity maximums are set at socially distanced 50% capacity, and there appear to be some clerical errors in the guidelines such as not providing a customer face mask exception to allow for facials and beard trimming. After speaking with the Illinois Department of Commerce & Economic Opportunity shortly after the guideline publication, this should be getting corrected.

The department also agreed to consider written communication separate from the published guidelines to help provide clarity to schools returning students to the clinic floor and classrooms. The association will work to have those clarifications completed as soon as possible this week.

As of May 29th, we are open! Spread the word, see you tomorrow!

[05/25/20]   We just sent out a mass email to currently enrolled students. explaining our reopening, if you have questions ask here or message me. Please don't " reply-all" on the email!

We are planning to reopen our institution this Friday under the phase 3 guidelines! Students and customers must supply their own face masks, no more than 20 customers in the facility at one time and everyone must abide by the social distancing standards. Leave of absences will be granted to any of our students who were currently enrolled as per last day we opened before the shut down. Please contact us on Friday with any additional questions.

Phase 3 Guidance Issued...see the link below, but some highlights:
* Includes hair salons, hair braiders, barber shops, nail salons, spas, massage parlors, waxing centers, tattoo parlors, tanning salons, cosmetology schools, hair club services and other providers of personal care services
* Includes services that can be performed while customer and employee are wearing a face covering over their nose and mouth
* Sets a maximum of 50% of capacity OR 5 customers allowed per 1000 sq. ft. of usable space (For salon suites, capacity limits should be applied within each suite)
