COVID-19 Update + Our Procedures

4/14/2020

Our priorities here at MBM go so much further than enhancing your beauty. That is to keep you, our client, healthy and safe.

While the state of Ohio is currently under lockdown and all beauty services are temporarily on hold until further notice, we still want to give you peace of mind. Once our state mandates are lifted, and things slowly get back to normal, it's important for you to know that your safety will continue to be prioritized. While we have always abided by health department sanitation standards, we are, however, being more mindful than ever before.

Here are the safety measures you can expect from us:

We disinfect all surfaces before we set up our makeup stations.
We wash our hands for 30 seconds before beginning services
In addition, we wear latex-free disposable gloves during your application.
We have face masks to wear during your appointment.
We use new, clean brushes that have been disinfected and washed in soap and water for every client.
We do not use brush cleaning spray between clients. Our kits contain of hundreds of brushes, so each client has a full set of clean brushes that is designated only for them. (Note: Brush cleaning spray is only meant to remove color from a brush and remove product texture; it is not intended to sanitize.)
We scrape all makeup products onto a sanitized metal palette, so your application always originates from a clean layer of product.
We use new, disposable mascara wands for each application, and we never double-dip.
We disinfect and wipe down our entire kit, product by product, before we pack our kit and after completing a job.
We regularly clean surface objects with a disposable disinfectant, as well as objects that are frequently used, such as phones, keyboards, door handles, tables, counter tops, and cabinets.
After every client, whether in the studio or at your location, we clean our working surface and wipe down our makeup chair.

In addition to these everyday steps, we are vowing to remain at home should we exhibit any signs of illness, no matter how mild. Likewise, if you have an upcoming appointment with us and aren’t feeling your best, or if you're thinking about postponing your event, please contact us as soon as possible and we’ll be happy to rebook your appointment at no extra charge.

We know this situation is constantly evolving, and we will remain flexible for you. We will continue to closely monitor this developing situation and keep you posted on our company updates according to state and federal guidelines.
