NOT READY TO DIY?

Buy Gift Cards Now to keep your next service on budget. As our quarantine gets longer, it’s inevitable that some guests will need more than a simple touch up when we’re back to business. Buying gift cards now is the perfect way to spread the cost of your next service until you’re able to come back. Just follow the link above and add them to your Salon Wallet in the Coterie App.

Thank you for your patience during this difficult time. We continue to brainstorm new ways to help everyone stay beautiful. We’re also planning great new services for when we are able to welcome all of our guests back again!

Missing You Is A Complete Understatement

We are consistently monitoring all state and federal laws regarding the closure of non-essential businesses. This means we’re following CDC guidelines, & taking every precaution for when it is safe to OPEN again!

Until then, please continue to follow us here, on Facebook and Instagram @Coterie17, for updates.

What About My Reservation? All current reservations are on hold for days that we continue to be closed by state law.
When Can I Reschedule? We will be posting updates on our Social Feeds & keeping a list of all reservations that need to be rescheduled. Once we have some assurance of being able to open again we will start the scheduling process! No one knows how long these closures will last – rest assured that once we have a definitive date to reopen, our team will be actively scheduling all of our guests.

We love that you have always been there for us and we want to be sure to be there for you…

Now Closed Until April 7th!

Today, like many days this month, has brought additional changes that require immediate action. By order of Governor Murphy, Coterie must cancel all scheduled reservations effective 8 pm tonight, March 19th. Our immediate plan is to be closed until April 7th, or until such time as the state deems safe for salons to reopen. In light of the escalated situation we must, first and foremost, keep the health and wellbeing of our customers, and our Coterie Family, at the heart of our decisions.

What about your reservations?
You have always been there for us and we want to make sure that we are here for you. At the present time, we will be rescheduling all reservations after April 7th. If you already have reservations scheduled after that date, those reservations will remain in place unless we are forced to extend our quarantine. You do not need to confirm them at this time.

Next Steps…
We will continue sending out additional communication to Coterie Guests in the next few weeks through our Blog on our website, email blasts, and Social feeds with all the developing updates.
Any questions? – please direct them to: [email protected]. While we will be working from home, phone support will be limited. Please leave a detailed message with dates and times of preferred services if you are moving a reservation. A coterie representative will get back to you within 24-48 hours.
Self-booking is always available through our online booking portal. To schedule a future reservation, please follow the link at https://c17.aurasalonware.com/.

Need Products?
We will continue to fulfill orders of Beauty Products as available, for curbside pick up! Let us know what you need – shampoos, conditioners, hair color, color root sprays, gel removal nail kits. All order requests should be directed to [email protected].

Be a Good Neighbor
We all have elderly neighbors who may or may not have family or resources close by. If anyone you know is in need assistance of ANY kind during this time, please let us know. If it’s in our power, we want to help!

Last, but certainly not least…
Whatever may be in store for us all in these next weeks and months, we wish all of you and your families good health.  Let’s all stay calm and move forward with goodwill and compassion for one another.

Many Blessings,

Angela Pantaleone & your Coterie Family

No Longer Time for Business As Usual…

In the current climate, things are changing quickly and we’re course-correcting daily to meet our Employees’ and Clients’ needs.
