HOW WE MINIMISE RISKS

1. All of our team have completed the Barbicide COVID-19 Certification for the Professional Beauty Industry

2. Every other station will not be in use to keep to 2m social distancing between guests and to reduce the numbers in the salon at any one time

3. Appointments are staggered with 15 minute gaps for us to carry out a rigorous cleaning process between guests

4. Reception waiting chairs have been removed, if everyone arrives on time it is unlikely you will need to wait

5. All stylists will be wearing a visor and face mask type ll, which mitigates the need for distancing during carrying out services – we are not required to wear masks

6. We are using disposable gowns, so unique to each guest

13. At the end of each day, the salon is fumigated with a VIRABACT conforms to BS EN 14476 and is proven to be effective against enveloped viruses on non-porous hard surfaces,including all coronaviruses and SARS-CoV-2, ensuring inactivation of 99.99% of these pathogens after a contact time of 5 minutes. Also tested to BS EN 1276 killing 99.999% of germs within 5 minutes and is effective against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus hirae and Escherichia Coli.
