How are you following the new guidelines?
At Studio 74, we have a main street access and are we are open by appointment only. We ensure our studio has the time it needs between sessions for cleaning and sanitization with a minimum of 15 minute breaks between sessions. We have also worked with local companies to ensure we have the highest quality cleaning products and hand sanitizer for our guests. As well, when in the studio, we are able to maintain a safe distance required by our government. We do not mandate the use of masks due to the nature of our business, so the distance is strongly
recommended and followed.
