This outlines the steps that I will be taking in order to keep you and myself as safe as possible, whilst providing the hair and nail treatments that you love.
I have strict infection control measures in place and all bookings will be subject to all these conditions;
1. Bookings
*I will not be accepting bookings from clients with possible COVID-19 symptoms or those from a household where someone else has symptoms.
* Clients who have been unable to practice social distancing due to the nature of their work will be asked NOT to request an appointment until such times as the social distancing measures are further eased.
* I will not be taking bookings from anyone who has travelled outside of the UK in the last 14 days.
* Clients who appear to show any possible COVID-19 symptoms will be asked to reschedule
2. Cleaning & Disinfection
* Clients will be asked to wash their hands with soap and water on my arrival. They will also be offered a mask to wear if they don’t have an appropriate face covering. Some health conditions prevent clients wearing masks so these vulnerable clients will have been self isolating and are exempt from wearing a mask. I will be wearing a fresh mask & disposable apron on entering each house.
*i will be entering and exciting via back/kitchen doors where possible to avoid walking through clients houses as little as possible.
* A clean bag of equipment / gowns etc will be brought into each clients house. It will not be taken from house to house. So i will be using disposable bags with only what i need rather than my kit bag. Everything will be disinfected between clients. (which was my standard practice pre Covid-19.) Disposable files will be used and plastic / metal tools will be disinfected as normal.
* I’m trained in the Infection Control and will be wearing PPE appropiate to the treatment being provided. This may include gloves, apron, surgical face mask.
* Payment is preferred by bank transfer, although i will still accept cash please try to have the correct money if possible in an envelope.
3. Social Distancing
* Clients will be asked to message a picture of the hair style or nail design if possible prior to my visit so i can have only exactly the products and equipment i need with me.
*to avoid contact with magazine pictures of hairstyles or nail popps & tubs of glitters clients are asked to have chosen their hairstyle or nail colour & design via a phone/ social media message. I wont be bringing a selection of colours only what is required. Im happy to send photos of glitters / colours etc before the appointment.
*only the client im working on is to be in the room with me. A child with a parent is ok where thats more appropriate. Other house members and guests should remain in another room where possible.
*If you change your mind or request a different colour or nail crystals etc i may not have something suitable with me as i wont be able to take extra items in and out at first. This may change as restrictions do.
