THE LATEST UPDATES FROM SHOBHA!

Shobha DC – OPEN TODAY, JUNE 23rd  BY APPOINTMENT ONLY! Welcome back, everyone!! We are so excited to offer thread, sugar, wax and laser services! As appointments are going fast, we are working to add more availability so please continue to check online booking and via the Shobha app for available appointment times. FYI, due to mask requirements some face services will not be immediately available. We can’t wait to see you again!

Shobha Rockville Pike – OPEN ONLY FOR LASER HAIR REMOVAL APPOINTMENTS – no waxing/threading services…yet
We are currently open for laser hair removal services Thursday – Sunday with our Nurse Practitioner, Leslie.  Unfortunately, waxing/threading services are not allowed to open with Phase 2 in Montgomery County, but we believe we’ll be able to open in a week or two.  We will let you all know when we open up online booking for these services.

Shobha NYC locations – currently closed with a potential opening in July/August
New York City has opened up Phase 2.  Our salons will be a part of Phase 3, which is still looking like a mid-July/August opening based on how we do in Phase 2.

Important Changes – Please know we are taking the following extra measures for your safety and the safety of our team:

  • Staggering appointment times – We will be spacing out appointments so there will be fewer people in the salon at one time. We will text you when it is your turn to enter!
  • Contactless payment – Please add your credit card to the Shobha App to securely keep on file for safe purchases and/or gratuity. Cash is not accepted.
  • Mask requirements for clients – All clients will be required to wear their own mask while in the salon.
  • Temperature checks – All clients will be checked for fever with a touchless thermometer.
  • Online forms – You can fill out any forms needed from the comfort of your own home.
  • Updated visitor policy – Visitors without an appointment are not permitted entry (this includes friends and family so please leave them at home for their safety!).
  • Increased sanitation protocols – Sanitizing surface areas even more often.
  • Mask requirements for team – Masks will be worn by all team members at all times; face shields will be worn on top of face masks by specialists when performing services.
  • Pre-screening clients and team about possible COVID – 19 exposure.

Please be aware, as a result of not being able to accept walk-ins and regulations that limit our capacity there is a no-show and 24 hour cancellation fee of 25%. Please be on time and take parking into consideration, if needed. There may be wait times as we coordinate the flow of clients safely through the salon and practice increased sanitation protocols. We appreciate your patience.

Pre-screening Questions – The following questions will be included in the reminder e-mail sent the day of your appointment. Please review them carefully and if you have answered “yes” to any of these questions, please reschedule your appointment.

Are you experiencing shortness of breath or trouble breathing?
Do you have a temperature of 100.4° F or higher?
Are you experiencing a sore throat?
Are you coughing?
