Accessibility Statement
Last Updated: July 7, 2025
The Usual Lash, a lash salon located in Darien, CT, is committed to ensuring that our website (the "Website") is accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. We strive to provide an inclusive online experience for booking appointments and accessing information about our services, in alignment with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards.
Our Commitment
We aim to make our Website usable for everyone, regardless of ability or technology. This includes individuals with visual, auditory, motor, or cognitive disabilities. Our goal is to ensure that all users can navigate, understand, and interact with the Website effectively.
Accessibility Features
To enhance accessibility, we have implemented or are working toward the following:
-
Text Alternatives: Providing alt text for images to support screen reader users.
-
Keyboard Navigation: Ensuring the Website can be navigated using a keyboard alone.
-
Readable Content: Using clear fonts, sufficient contrast, and resizable text to improve readability.
-
Structured Content: Employing proper headings, lists, and semantic HTML to facilitate navigation for assistive technologies.
-
Form Accessibility: Designing forms (e.g., booking forms) with clear labels and error messages compatible with screen readers.
Ongoing Efforts
We are continuously improving the accessibility of our Website by:
-
Regularly reviewing and testing the Website with accessibility tools and user feedback.
-
Training our staff to create and maintain accessible content.
-
Working with third-party vendors (e.g., booking platform providers) to ensure their tools meet accessibility standards.
Limitations
While we strive for full accessibility, some areas of the Website may not yet be fully compliant due to technical constraints or third-party integrations. For example:
-
Certain features provided by external booking or payment platforms may have limited accessibility support.
-
Older content or images may lack complete text alternatives.
We are actively addressing these issues and welcome feedback to help us improve.
