COVID-19 Changes

We’re excited to welcome you and your child back. And to give you a very big, but still socially distant, hello!

As a mom-owned-and-run business, not only are we following all local, state and federal guidelines, we’re going above and beyond to keep things safe…and fun…for everyone. Find out what you need to know before coming to KidSnips below.

What you need to know before coming in:

Friendly door greeters.

To help with client safety and check in, please wait outside until a door greeter comes to take temps, ask health questions, explain procedures and make sure everyone has their mask and feels comfortable before going in.

1 child/1 adult.

To keep things safe, we can only have limited people in the salon at a time. Only the child getting the haircut and accompanying adult are allowed in, no extra siblings. If you need to bring another child who doesn’t have an appointment, you will have to leave them with a second adult outside the salon.

Masks are a must.

Due to current Illinois regulations, everyone 2 and older MUST wear a mask, except children under 2 and special needs clients who cannot tolerate masks. For special needs clients, we are only taking appointments by phone at this time to ensure your child gets the attention and support they need. Don’t have a mask? No worries. We’ve got you covered with disposable masks for sale.

BYO tablet.

Though we’ll have ours available to watch videos on, your child won’t be allowed to touch them. If playing games helps them during a haircut, please bring your own tablet.

Travel light!

Because the virus can live on stuff, please limit personal items to your phone and credit card if possible – things you can easily tuck in your pocket!

Running late? Reschedule!

We are allowing extra time for each appointment to make sure we have plenty of time to clean well in-between. We’re sorry we can’t accommodate late arrivals or walk-ins right now.

Please note: With longer appointment times per client and not being able to take walk ins, when you don’t show up for an appointment without calling to let us know, it is really hard for everyone involved -our stylists as well as other clients who aren’t able to get in for an appointment.

So, we’re sorry but, if you don’t call us ahead of time and let us know that you’re going to be a no-show, we will no longer be able to accept an appointment from you. These are difficult times and we all have to be respectful of each other and work together to make this all work.

Thank you for your understanding.
