a new price list for a new scenario
"the uncertainty of the lifespan of these measures does not enable us to plan the size of this expenditure"
|
This unprecedented crisis has made it more important than ever to consider the expense of the implementation of these preventative measures and the financial impact these will have on our business. The need for us to heavily invest in sanitary measures as well as salon capacity restrictions will undoubtedly take its financial toll on our salons profitability.
Whilst we wholeheartedly understand and appreciate the financial pressures and impact this crisis has had on every household over the past months, the ability for us to open our doors and begin trading is only permitable with the safety measures outlined. We are currently forecasting the overall financial impact therefore the associated price increase is not reflected in our services price lists on this website. We hope you will work with us during this unprecedented and challenging time of our business. |
creating a HEALTHIER salon environment by reinforcing our hygiene protocols for the salon, our staff and clients.

RPE
Public Health guidance on the use of PPE (personal protective equipment) to protect against COVID-19 relates to health care settings. In all other settings individuals are asked to observe social distancing measures and practice good hand hygiene behaviours. Where RPE is a requirement for risks associated with the work undertaken the following measures will be followed- Tight-fitting respirators (such as disposable FFP3 masks and reusable half masks) rely on having a good seal with the wearer’s face. A face fit test will be carried out to ensure the respiratory protective equipment (RPE) can protect the wearer. Wearers must be clean shaven. |
To minimise the risk of transmission of COVID-19 during face-fit testing the following additional measures should be carried out –
Both the fit tester and those being fit tested should wash their hands before and after the test. Those being fit tested with non-disposable masks should clean the mask themselves before and immediately after the test using a suitable disinfectant cleaning wipe (check with manufacturer to avoid damaging the mask). Test face pieces that cannot be adequately disinfected (e.g. disposable half masks) should not be used by more than one individual. Fit testers should wear disposable gloves when undertaking cleaning of the tubes, hoods etc. and ensure they remove gloves following the correct procedure (PDF) Reference https://www.hse.gov.uk/news/face-mask-ppe-rpe-coronavirus.htm |
