We will have an update for everyone this afternoon🤞🤞

After Governor Northam updates all of us on Monday 5/4, we will have a more clear answer as to when we will be able to reopen our doors and what our new normal procedures will be.

When we know for sure what day it is safe to see you all again, we will be reaching out to everyone to get you scheduled ASAP.

Thank you for your continued patience and support💞

Thank you @charlyn.photography for sharing these moments from Karen's February wedding with us - beautiful bride and party, beautiful and fun culture and traditions. So glad we were a part of this day!!

Am I right?! We WILL be opening back up and I CAN’T WAIT either 🥳🙌🏻 Your stylist will be getting you all rescheduled ONCE WE HAVE A DEFINITE DATE, but we do ask for patience and understanding as we will be doing our best to accommodate almost 8 weeks worth of appts. With new guidelines and restrictions in place given the fact we are in such close contact with our clients, we will be limiting the types and amount of services we provide temporarily. Also, we will not be practicing any facial waxing, hot towel shaves, or beard trims. There will be more time needed between guests to properly clean and disinfect, and a limited amount of foot traffic allowed per day. We are an industry of people pleasers! Everything we do is to make our guests happy and accommodated, but our focus is not just you, it’s YOUR family, the safety of ourselves and our families, and our collective community. Without further adieu, please take the time to read our opening guidelines below

𝗥𝗨𝗟𝗘𝗦:

-I will schedule ONE client at a time. I will not be double booking, which may result in a longer wait time before your appt.
- Only the person receiving a hair service may enter the shop. No guests, friends, children, spouses, etc.
- Myself and my clients must be wearing a mask covering our mouths and noses to enter, and must be worn during the duration of your time inside the shop.
- Immediately upon entering, you will wash your hands with soap and warm water.
- Call/ Text me when you arrive in the parking lot, but DO NOT come inside. I will let you know when it is safe to enter the building.
- Once the previous client has left, the entirety of the salon and any items used or touched during their service will be cleaned and disinfected with Barbicide before I let the next guest inside.
-If you bring a purse inside, it must stay on your lap under your cape as well as your cellphone and any belongings. Do not place phone or items on countertops.
-No food or drinks, with the exception of a bottled beverage that you are able to keep in your purse or hold onto under your cape.
- No shampoos unless you are receiving a chemical service. Haircuts will be done either dry, or your hair will be saturated with a spray bottle.
- No blowdries. This is being implemented in Georgia and many salons locally. No exceptions.
- Payments will only be accepted over the phone after your service, or by emailed invoice or Venmo. No exchanging or handling of cash or cards.
- Services offered for the time being:

•Root touch up
•Mini root touch up
•Single Process color
•Partial foil maintenance
•Accent foil
•Accent balayage
•Dry haircut
•Wet haircut
•Toner
•Glaze

*Rules may change as Virginia implements their own set of regulations with the openings of salons and spas*

On this day two years ago we went on quite the adventure to RI to be part of an EPIC styled shoot! But first, we went on a beautiful, scenic tour of the coast. What a trip!

Wedding postponed due to COVID-19? Busch wants to make it up to you with free beer for a year.

🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️
Definitely not a silver lining but, yay for beer!

wtkr.com The coronavirus pandemic could not have arrived at a worse time for thousands of married couples. COVID-19 has arrived in the U.S. just as the wedding season has gotten underway, forcing couples across their country to find alternative ways to get married.

Remember our sweet shampoo station that @katherinehallbergdesign helped make one-of-a-kind with her stunning hanging flowers? Well, our buddy @sweltyart -who is responsible for the beautiful flowers painted throughout our salon - put his touch on the walls. Isn't it stunning?? We can't wait for you to see it in person 😍😍😍

Hey folks! We are sure you have heard, schools are closed for the remainder of the school year which means things are officially insane. All non-essential business are required to shut down for a minimum of 30 days. This means us. We may or may not agree with being considered non-essential but, there's not much we can do other than abide and do our part. Please message us asap so we can get your appointment rescheduled! We miss you and are anxiously awaiting the end of all of this madness. Stay safe. Take care of yourselves. Slide into our DMs if you get bored.

[03/21/20]   Hey. We miss your faces😭
While we are all navigating through this and doing our best to stay positive and support each other, we wanted to let you know that you can purchase gift cards for any of our services with any of our stylists! Shoot us a message and we'll get you squared away❤

Also, a note specifically for brides~

If you have not booked with us for your summer, fall or winter wedding, we urge you to do so soon! As you know, most of our Spring brides have had to postpone their weddings to dates later this year and our calendar is filling up unbelievably fast! Email us at [email protected] to secure your date.

Happy Saturday and air hugs!

Coronavirus postpones weddings across Hampton Roads, leading brides and vendors to freak out

These are uncertain and, quite frankly, scary times but, we stand with our brides and fellow industry friends and will be ready to pick up where we left off as soon as the dust settles❤

pilotonline.com "This may be detrimental to us for years to come," said Mermaid Catering's Julie Aubrey.

[03/16/20]   Dearest friends, clients, loved ones and followers,

After a very trepidatious day, I have decided to close our doors until at least March 31st. Yes, there are risks that come with this decision. As stylists, we do not have paid time off. No sick leave, no vacation days to cash in...mortgages to pay and mouths to feed.

BUT, in my humble opinion, the risk of staying open is greater. We are thisclose to our clients for hours at a time and social distancing is simply not a thing. With other states and countries completely shutting down around us, the likelihood of Virginia following suit is pretty high, and I feel more comfortable staying ahead of the curve.

My hope is that we put our egos and opinions aside, heed the warnings and respect science and facts. We love you all, we want you to stay safe and cannot wait to see you again as soon as all of this has passed by.

Cheers and air hugs,
Liz and the Darling and Dapper Team

[03/13/20]   Friends and clients, please read!

Many have asked us how are preparing for the seemingly inevitable Coronavirus threat here in our salon. In our line of work, we come in VERY close contact with people. With that in mind, our chairs, stations and tools will be sanitized (like usual) after each client. We have several bottles of hand sanitizer available - please use it! We will be doing the same, in addition to vigilantly washing our hands. If we are not feeling well or have recently come in contact with anyone who is sick, we will not put you and your family in danger and will reschedule your appointment. We appreciate your understanding!

Now, here is what we need YOU to do:

If you are not feeling well, please reschedule your appointment. While we might be a group of strong, bad ass women, we have families and children to think about. We will be using our best judgment in any situation where clients look and/or sound sick and will cancel and reschedule wherever we feel it is necessary.

Beard trims: We will do our best to accommodate all but, if we don't feel comfortable, we will not provide the service.

It is not our intention to spread anymore worry or panic - we just want everyone to be smart about this

Being in Virginis Beach means we will never have a shortage of beach/waterfront weddings 😍
