Client safety and what to expect when attending your appointment with updated  

Government Guidelines.

We are very happy to be re-opening our doors to clients on Wednesday 2nd December. We are currently allowed to open in all tiers so we are hopeful that we will be able to continue to work continuously.

We have, however, been given strict guidelines on salon protocol regarding all appointments booked. A full risk assessment has been carried out and we are fully equipped with what we believe is everything to keep you all safe and well.

If you are coming to see us please read the following guide to how your appointment will proceed. We will be doing our utmost to make your visit as comfortable and enjoyable as possible but we are required to work within this very strict framework for every-ones safety. We will be wearing PPE including masks and visors when you attend. Please do  not be alarmed by our appearance we have been instructed that we have to wear them and we are still the same team underneath.

We are prohibited from working on people who are formally shielding, are suffering from or awaiting tests for Covid-19 or who are exhibiting any signs or symptoms of Covid-19. These include a persistent dry cough, loss of sense of smell or taste or an elevated temperature. We will be taking temperatures using a contactless thermometer on entry to the salon. Please bear with us with this as we have to ensure the safety of all clients and staff.

Attending your appointment.

 

1:  Please arrive at your booked appointment time. Our appointments have been booked to adhere to social distancing and we have had to remove our waiting area. If you do arrive early we will provide temporary seating under our canopy outside. Please be aware that if you arrive late we may need to re-arrange your appointment. A doorbell has been installed on the salon door if you need to ring for attention. We have two entrances and you will be guided to the correct entrance for your booked service.

 

2: Please attend your appointment alone as we are limited to the number of people that we are able to accommodate in salon at any one time whilst adhering to social distancing.

 

3: Please do not bring anything that you do not think that you will need during the appointment.

 

4: On entry to the building you will have your temperature taken with a non-contact thermometer. You will also asked to sanitise your hands and  put on a protective mask and shoe covers. Please bring your own mask if you have one but we have several in salon if you need them. You will then be guided  to the room that we have allocated for you. This may be one of our beauty rooms upstairs.

 

5: During your service we will be practicing the most stringent health and hygiene principles. Unfortunately we will not be able to provide refreshments unless you bring your own cup and we have had to remove all magazines. We have purchased Kindles that can be easily sanitised and a Kindle Unlimited subscription that gives access to a huge volume of free magazines if you would like to use them. We have also installed USB charging points on our salon sockets so that you can charge your devices if you bring your own. Our WiFi password will be made available to you. 

 

6: We will have to remove our gloves whilst cutting your hair but we will be sanitising our hands regularly throughout the service. All other services will be carried out wearing gloves. These will be replaced for each client and our tools, stations and back-washes will be thoroughly cleaned with high grade cleaning products between each client.

 

7: We will only be accepting card payments and bank transfers. We will be sanitising the card terminal after each use.


We hope that you understand these precautions are for every-ones safety and in line with Government guidance. Hopefully over time these measures will become a thing of the past and it will be safe to return to normal working practices. Until then we ask for your patience while we readjust to the changes
