Topher Miller Stylist

To my amazing clients. Today is a sad day for me and a tough decision I needed to make for myself and for you! And it’s not one I am happy to be making.

After making the decision to work from home the last couple of weeks in order to reduce my and your exposure to any covid19 that could possibly be coming into the salon, after seeing the cases starting to spike in AZ, after seeing my salon close for a week, now having seen the stay at home order by our governor, and finally after consulting with my primary care doctor about all of my underlying health issues and realizing that I am high risk for having a severe sickness from this virus should I catch it, I have decided to no longer see clients until the stay at home order is lifted May 1st.

Most all of you know in the last couple years I’ve had some serious health issues come up for me and they are specifically listed as underlying issues that have caused people to have severe if not fatal reactions to this virus.
While I love to think of myself as essential, it is simply not worth the risk to myself. Or the risk to my clients. While I know that all of the sanitation protocols we have as stylists can guarantee that my station and chair are free from this bug, I can’t with good conscience keep myself or my clients safe from the air while in my chair. I am in your face and touching your head and face multiple times during the service. I can’t stay 6 ft away as required by the CDC. And regardless of our governors thoughts on the matter, I am not willing to risk my or your safety and health during an appointment.

I apologize for the huge inconvenience this is to both of us... I am not sure what to do financially for myself. I will be applying for unemployment and the additional money the CARES act offers to those of us self employed individuals. And I hope you will be on with having some extra rootage for the month. As I said in the video I made just a few minutes ago, if you absolutely have an essential need for getting your hair done, I ask that you see another stylist at Ramon Bacaui Hair Salon and MedSpa if they continue to stay open during this time. Much of the nation has closed down salons and spas and I believe it’s only a matter of days before Arizona does the same. But if you can wait, I will be working extra hours and days when this order is lifted to be able to make sure everyone gets their services. Please don’t grab a box to color your own hair with... I promise it is not worth it and a color correction is never a good time... it costs extra $$ and usually leaves your hair not in the best condition. Please don’t get creative and decide to cut your own hair.... if you can help it. Again, it just isn’t worth having to fix it and be unhappy.

I want you all to know how incredibly grateful I am for those who have reached out and already rescheduled and canceled their appointments. It’s so important to stay home and social distance right now. If not for you, for me, then for your family and loved ones. The more we stick to this, the sooner we can all get back to the new normal.

If you already have an appointment scheduled with me this month I will be reaching out to you individually to get us rescheduled. Thank you for understanding. Love you all so much!! My career and my guests are truthfully my life. And your continued loyalty over the years is very appreciated. I will miss you all! Please stay in touch. Stay safe. Stay healthy. And wash your hands!
