We are taking precautions
To protect our clients and team
The Health & Safety of our TEAM and YOU is of paramount importance.
These are unprecedented and unusual times that we are living in and we know some of you will be quite nervous about coming to our salon. Perhaps you may have anxieties about leaving the house after being stuck in lockdown, being around people again, or even worried about getting coronavirus.
These feelings are valid and normal, and trust us, we have felt them too. But we are here to get through this together in the most understanding, kindest and, above all, safest way we can.
Our salon is still the friendly and bubbly place our clients have always loved, but the way we work will look a little different. Though still nothing to worry about! We call it ‘the new normal’, and it makes our salon one of the safest around.
We have put in place not only the Government’s recommendations for salons but we have added our own measures too to keep our TEAM and YOU safe. If you want to know what those are, please see below for our list of new normal procedures.
We want you to feel safe when you walk through our doors and confident when you walk out of them. Have confidence in us, put your nerves to one side as you look forward to waving goodbye to your lockdown locks!
Stay safe and we cannot wait to see you soon!

P.S. Please remember that though your stylist may look different with PPE and masks, they are still fun, friendly, happy to see you and will be smiling behind the mask!
The ‘new normal’ Health & Safety procedures from July 2020
- If you have any symptoms or feeling unwell, please do not come into the salon. You will be asked to reschedule your appointment
- Customers must use our hand sanitiser when entering the salon. Please bring your own as well.
- Scissors and other tools will be thoroughly disinfected between each client, as well as hairdressing chairs
- Hairdressing cloaks will be washed after each use and, if possible, a disposable cloak will be worn over the top
- Card payments would be preferred to avoid cash handling
- We cannot hang coats in our cloakroom. Please bring a bag to add your coat.
- Haircuts and Colours are by appointment only to avoid customers waiting in the salon. You cannot bring anyone else to the appointment who does not have an appointment including children.
- You will be asked to keep a 2m distance except when the haircut/colour is taking place. There will be clear markings and signage
- Customers and hairdressers must wear face masks. (Please bring your own mask. If you do not have a face mask you will be given one but charged £1)
- You cannot just book a blow dry service until further notice
- No dry haircuts will be allowed. You must have a shampoo with your haircut. (This will increase the price. )
- Limiting the amount of staff/stylists and customers at any given time
- Using back to back or side to side working (rather than face to face)
- Using a clear screen/barrier at reception and cleaning the PDQ machine after each use
- Direct communication and general chat will be kept to a minimum – discussion & consultation about hair style, colour etc will be done via a mirror and kept to a minimum.
