How Covid-19 has affected us

When the Covid-19 pandemic was in full swing in March of 2020, Addictions immediately shut down. We were worried about the future of our small business and would happen next. Our top priority is the health, safety and wellbeing our employees and our customers. We provided full time pay to all of our staff through our closure which ended in June/July of 2020 when we cautiously re-opened our doors and switched to appointment only. We went through some hard times navigating mandates, covid scares & making sure everyone in the Addictions family was safe, healthy and could also rely on Addictions when in need. To lessen the burden to our employees, we provide them with at-home covid testing when available and if we shut our doors for any reason due to Covid-19, we always make sure our employees have what they need.

To this day, we still practice additional strict sanitizing methods on top of what is standard including temperature checks, mask requirements ( we will provide if needed) and the option to purchase jewelry or aftercare online and have it shipped to your home.
