Hello Bobbi Pins friends,
Welcoming all of our guests back into the studio has been, by far, the most wonderful experience. I want to take this time to express my gratitude for each of you.

As we all move through this together, each of us has our own experience. Mindful of that certainty Bobbi Pins N.Y. extends compassionate well wishes to each of you and your families. We are committed to servicing you safely professionally and mindfully following the CDC and State guidelines set forth for our industry.
Many of you have expressed your concern for the well-being of Bobbi Pins on a business perspective. With the best interest of Bobbi Pins N.Y. and its loyal Guests in mind know that every decision prior to or re-opening has been researched and consulted on with the industries foremost qualified professionals. With complete transparency, I can only assure you of what I know to be factual and what took many hours of careful consideration…
- we are committed
- we are informed daily
- we are carefully and meticulously implementing procedure to effectuate best health practices
- we have implemented necessary updates to our policy and menu
- we are grateful
WHY an increase in Fee’s?
It has always been my vision to offer a space for all to revive restore and renew
Inner and outer beauty with integrity, honesty, passion and dedication to my craft. With the help of the industry’s top advisor and coach, our fee structure was reviewed recalculated and implemented. Every service Bobbi Pins offers was broken down to reveal actual factual numbers. The increases on services are based on cost per service and time. (operational overhead, professional education level, ethical beauty practices, inflation and premium product use to name a few). As I am always striving for excellence in execution of service the same standard holds for execution of best business practice. I assure you these calculations reflect our value and have not simply increased without justified reasoning.
________________
WHY a Guest Assurance and Consultation Policy?
We Instituted the guest assurance policy and consultation quotation to ensure a mutually agreeable course of action, which will lead to your overall happiness with Service execution Transparent pricing and Guaranteed reservation time. Thus far it has proven to be more effective raising all levels of professionalism while valuing time more efficiently. Our Commitment to your guest experience is always evolving to higher standards.
________________
WHY a Cancellation Policy?
Adhering to our cancellation policy now more than ever is essential to the survival of our heavenly Studio. As we move through this pandemic with a positive mindset, our time behind the chair servicing our guests is more valuable than ever before. Please know that every missed reservation is detrimental to our ability to remain operational. Bobbi Pins (Small business) cannot sustain recovery with missed opportunity in our schedules. As always, we will do our best to provide confirmations and reminders to avoid any charges should rescheduling be necessary.
________________
WHY a Prepayment Policy?
While we await a vaccine and reliable treatment options, we must do our part to help keep the community safe. For us, this means serving just 1 guest simultaneously, having only 2 professionals working in the salon each day, and taking 15 minutes between each appointment to disinfect the salon. These changes effectively reduce our available billable hours significantly, making the losses caused by no-shows far more impactful than they’d otherwise be. These are necessary steps, designed to ensure the salon doesn’t suffer the multiple losses incurred when a guest cancels on a 2+ hour service during a time when managing our schedule efficiently is profoundly essential.
JUNE NEWS
We are thrilled to announce the Re Opening of Bobbi Pins N.Y and welcoming our guests back beginning June 10, 2020, this coming Wednesday.
We are profoundly grateful for the opportunity to share our time and talent in servicing our healthy guests.
