HOW WE MINIMISE RISKS
- All of our team have completed the Barbicide COVID-19 Certification for the Professional Beauty Industry
- 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
- Appointments are staggered with 15 minute gaps for us to carry out a rigorous cleaning process between guests
- Reception waiting chairs have been removed, if everyone arrives on time it is unlikely you will need to wait
- 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

- We continue to use disposable towels, 100% Biodegradable, made from wood fibres

- We store our implements in Barbicide
- Our staff are washing their hands prior to and after every single service, using the hand washing technique as set out by the WHO
