I understand that I am opting for an appointment having read and answered no to the terms of booking form and currently have no symptoms stated.

I understand that the world health organisation has declared COVID 19 a worldwide pandemic and is extremely contagious and can spread from person to person.

I understand that the staff and management are closely monitoring the COVID 19 situation and have put in place reasonable preventative measures aimed at reducing the risk, however given the nature of the virus I understand that there is an inherent risk of becoming infected with COVID 19 by virtue of proceeding with my treatment. I hereby acknowledge and assume the risk of becoming infected with COVID 19 through this elective treatment and I give my permission to proceed.

I understand that i will be required to wear ppe of a gown, towel and disposable mask if my appointment time is longer than 30min, additional cleaning will be taking place throughout my treatment this will be charged for at an extra £2 to each bill.

We are excited to welcome you all back on the 4th July, please read all the information below about the guidelines that have been given to us to make your journey hassle free🌸

New guidelines, these do not stop us from carrying out any services or having to wash your hair before hand so if you normally have a dry cut and this has been booked for a wet cut we will adjust that for you but please check when you get your text reminder as your appointment time may have changed slightly. Please make sure if having a colour you arrive with clean hair anyway.

Beauty services cannot yet resume so anyone who has an appointment with Leah please await our instructions on when that will go ahead and do not turn up for appointments that have been made.

All original appointments that were in our system for July have been cancelled to make way for the missed lockdown appointments.
By August we may be able to honour any appointments made , please check this when you are in the salon.
Making your next appointment, please make sure you have a date and time for your next appointment ready when you come to minimise time spent at reception, we will have to get current appointments serviced first so recommend a 6week appointment time, if you normally come more frequent than that this should be able to go back to normal by September.

All staff will be wearing a faceshield at all times during contact with you, all cleaning of equipment and work areas will be carried out prior to all contact with each client including hand sanitisation.
You will only be required to wear a face mask if your appointment is 30minutes or longer, this is not a measure that the government have enforced it is a requirement of Salon 55 to protect staff and clients.
Your mask will be provided, given the nature of our work your own mask could get damaged so we would prefer to use a disposable one.

A £2 charge per client is to be added to your bill for the time of all the new procedures, this helps us as a small business to pay for the extra costs we have with the opening under the strict guidelines it covers all extra cleaning, and PPE that has to be used.

Skin testing, please note you will need a new skin test with us if it is over 6 months since your last colour treatment, or you have been naughty and put a dye on your hair at home which wasn’t our salon product, or if you have had any Covid symptoms during lockdown as this can change your medical condition.
Please email me on info@salon55.co.uk to arrange a time for this as it will not be possible for you to just turn up at the salon without an appointment.

You will be required to read our new terms and conditions of your appointment (posting tomorrow) before you get here, this will just save time when you arrive.
It also keeps a log of people entering the building on a daily basis if ever there is a problem with an outbreak.
A signature is required for this, if you are under 12 an adult can sign on your behalf.

Children’s haircuts, when arranging appointments we were unable to book in children as we were not sure of guidelines regarding children. We now know that it is fine to arrange appointments for them, but strict social distancing by them has to be carried out as well as sanitising and minimal touching of surfaces.
As our book is extremely busy for July we will be happy to welcome all children back in August ready for school haircuts.

Cash, I have been asked about using cash, I know we have all got used to using cards now but we are still happy to accept cash for anyone who likes the old fashioned method, we will use all Covid guidelines to deal with cash in the correct way.
This also includes tips, if people want to tip a member of staff, a box will be kept on the work area of the stylist so no contact has to be made to receive tips and Covid guidelines taken.

Hours we are all working around the clock when we get back to try and service all our lovely clients as soon as possible, please be aware this procedure is all new to us and we will be trying very hard but mistakes and learning curves may happen and we are happy to receive feedback on anything you feel may be helpful to us.

We are sooo looking forward to seeing you all and getting back to some kind of “normal”
Although we will all want to give each other big hugs we will stick to virtual hugs for now.
