At numaBlu Hair Salon, your safety and peace of mind is always our first priority.

The mask must provide ample coverage of the nose and mouth (from bridge of the nose to below your chin and should not be hanging loosely around the sides), and be worn properly at all times.

In case you do not have a face mask or require a new one, one may be provided for a nominal fee.
