COVID-19 Safety Protocols

COVID UPDATE:

PROOF OF VACCINATION CLARIFICATION

At this time Personal Service Establishments are not mandated to accept proof of vaccination upon entry or booking.

So we will NOT be requiring proof of vaccination as of Sept.13 2021

To view a complete list of industries that were mandated to ask for proof of vaccination, please visit the gov't website: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/vaccinecard.html

As per Dr. Bonnie Henry, rate of transmission in personal service establishments remain low, so we have remained open since the first lockdowns were lifted in 2020.

Mint Smilebar has not had a single COVID outbreak amongst clients and staff since the beginning of the pandemic and follow all recommendations from WCB and Health Authorities very diligently.

We are monitoring this closely and will keep you updated with any new developments.

DISINFECTION & SANITATION:

We will continue to use medical grade disinfectants. Our disinfectant is approved by Coastal Health and fights against the human coronavirus. Our floors are bleached daily. High volume and frequently touched areas such as door handles, will be sanitized multiple times a day. Everything we use for the service is SINGLE USE and disposable, we do not reuse anything. Teeth whitening stations, sinks and treatment room will be sanitized and disinfected after each use.

FREQUENT HANDWASHING/SANITIZING:

We have always asked clients to wash/sanitize their hands prior to the start of each session and we will continue to do so. Please make sure to wash/sanitize your hands after you use the bathroom. Sink area (for teeth whitening): Please wash your hands after you rinse. A cup is provided for you, please don't use your hands for rinsing.

In an effort to keep the tenant washroom clean, please inform us if it’s unsanitary, so we can send cleaners up to clean it.
