Client Interaction & Safety Guidelines

The Green Tree Day Spa will be re-opening June 1st, with the following modifications in place and with limited available appointments. It may feel different, but we hope you understand we are taking every possible precaution to ensure the safety of our staff and guests.

The underlying safety guidelines and updated policies/procedures are driven by requirements and recommendations made by the GA Board Of Cosmetology, OSHA, industry leaders, and our mission to go above and beyond standards. These protocols continue to be refined and adjusted as needed. We'll keep you informed every step of the way.

The new procedures start with your booking. Safety dictates that we set appointments on a schedule that will allow us to maximize our cleaning and sterilization of all tools, equipment, ourselves, and working areas. To do so, we've temporarily suspended online booking. Instead, to book your next appointment, please email GreenTreeSpa@gmail.com or call (770) 947-8733. If we are not able to pick up or respond immediately, please leave a voicemail and we will be with you as soon as possible. Until we are open, calls are being forwarded to my personal phone, so please excuse my toddler dumping every toy out of her basket in the background when I pick up!

Contactless payments are possible if you provide your credit card information at the time of booking. If you have a gift card or certificate, please provide the gift card number on file so you do not need to bring it to your appointment.

Regarding our regular 24 Hour Cancellation policy, we are not penalizing for any last-minute cancellations due to being sick. We will be charging $25 for any “no-call, no-show” appointments. Please reschedule or cancel your appointment as soon as possible so that we can adjust our schedules accordingly. We are trying our best to get every client back in as quickly as possible, and with additional supply costs, reduced appointments available, as well as being closed for two months, we value your cooperation in giving us advance notice.

We will be reaching out in the next week to reschedule appointments on our waitlist - anyone who we have had to cancel during our closure.

Client Interaction & Safety Guidelines

1. We will be limiting the number of appointments available and doubling our recovery time between clients. This will mean less available appointment times! Please schedule well in advance to ensure you get the time and date you need. We will also be limiting the amount of multiple services - massage & facial package - available, as the meditation room will only be able to have one person at a time (and the wait will be doubled) between services. We will be fully disinfecting the rooms as always, but now our staff will be separated and must wait in their treatment room, or outside of the spa to limit contact, which will further extend the recovery time.

2. Please call when you arrive and wait in your car or outside of the spa. The service provider will meet you outside for a temperature check at our sanitizing station. We appreciate if you arrive with a face mask to your appointment.
We must also ask you these questions when entering the spa:
-Have you had a cough?
-Have you had a fever? 
-Have you been around anyone exhibiting these symptoms within the past 14 days?
-Are you living with anyone who is sick or quarantined?

If you answer yes to any of these questions, you will be asked to reschedule your appointment. Our staff is also required to answer these questions prior to their shifts, and in the case they answer yes, please be understanding if we need to reschedule your appointment.

3. Our waiting area will be closed for the time being. Please make arrangements for childcare prior to your visit, and let your spouse know you will be having “alone time” post quarantine. We will not be providing beverages or snacks at this time. You can bring bottled water or a closed container to your service.

4. Our staff will be wearing protective gear for your appointment where possible, as well as continuing to wash hands before and after every guest.

5. Additionally, all spa common areas, workstations, reception area and door handles will be disinfected after each client visit.

6. During your service:

Steam will not be used during your treatment until we are allowed to do so.

We are not yet scheduling for couples massages. Appointments for multiple people at the same time must keep 6 ft distance while in the spa.

7. After your service:

We ask that you allow our staff to pull your products with their gloved hands.

Please keep 6 ft distance from other clients while waiting to check out or to browse products.

You can also expect that our team of skin and body care specialists will make your visit to the spa both safe and enjoyable. We are doing our absolute best to ensure another 20 wonderful years of service in the community.

Please do not hesitate to communicate your questions and concerns to us at any time, and THANK YOU for your continued support of our small business!

Spa Information

Dear Family of The Green Tree Day Spa,

Because our values at The Green Tree Day Spa center around wellness, and because the safety of our team and community drive every decision we make, we’ve decided to postpone any operations at the spa until further notice. This is truly the hardest decision we have had to make - it affects every person who depends on us for healing, and each person on our team who depends on the spa to support their families. Unfortunately, these are extraordinary times which require extraordinary measures. We are doing everything in our power to ensure the closure is only temporary, and we will update you as more information becomes available. 

We realize this will cause sadness for the wonderful community we have built. Many of our clients come to us for not only relief and peace, but because it is their second home. Our staff is full of beautiful, talented people who care deeply for their clients. As the owner, I feel incredibly grateful to get to know them, and to see how much they value the relief, integrity, and kindness they bring to everyone who enters. 

In the meantime, we are donating any items normally used in our services that are currently needed by hospitals and healthcare workers.

If you would like to purchase a gift card for future use, we’d certainly appreciate it. They also make great gifts for fellow service workers & healthcare providers when this is over. Gift Cards are available 24/7 through our website at TheGreenTreeSpa.com. We will also be posting additional ways to support The Green Tree Day Spa and our team as we find more resources.

We will be reaching out to reschedule your appointments. All memberships will be frozen, and any unused membership massages or facials will be saved in your account for future use. We will be forwarding calls (when we can learn how to do this) to my personal number if you need to reach out. I am also available by email at GreenTreeSpa@gmail.com. There is no question we will all need a little relaxation, comfort, and “me time” after being cooped up for so long. 

Thank you for your understanding and ongoing support. Because of you, we have had the honor of serving the community for 20 years. Our promise to you is that the choices and decisions we make will always prioritize the health and safety of our Green Tree family. We wish you and your loved ones well, and look forward to emerging from this challenging time stronger together.

Update April 24, 2020

We have received an outpouring of calls from our wonderful customers asking for appointments, hours, and even what specials we have planned. 

While we are so excited for when we are able to safely open to the public, we are NOT opening this Friday. We can’t tell you how much your support of our small business lifts our spirits and it truly breaks our hearts to remain closed. 

We are currently working on protocols, redesigning our point of sales system, and sourcing needed cleaning supplies and protective equipment for the spa. While we are all excitedly planning next steps, we must also consider how best to accomodate staff members caring for elderly loved ones, are medically at risk themselves, or have children out of school due to closures. 

The Georgia State Board of Cosmetology released four pages of guidelines to follow on Wednesday of this week. It will take some time for us to adapt our services, redesign our store, and have everyone properly trained. 

There are a lot of factors to consider, and it is not worth rushing - we love you and our team too much to not get it right the first time!

We promise we will let everyone know when we feel we have everything in place to ensure the safety of our staff and clients. 

Thank you for your support and patience - we have truly felt the love during this difficult time!

Reminders:
- In store specials are available until January 10th by appointment only. If you’d like to give this as a gift, you can pre-book an appointment for your loved one.
