Vicki is busy getting everything into place for when we can safely re-open, everyones safety is our absolute top priority.

Clean Touch Certification and Barbicide Hygiene courses have been completed. We do not know the exact guidelines for re-opening but we are getting a head start. We may get extra local guidelines that need to be implemented and these will be followed.

A lot of these below we already implemented but this what we are following…

 

Prior to treatment…

We are working on digital pre-screening/consultation forms that will need to be filled in prior to appointment and will be emailed to you with your appointment reminder please read carefully. These are digital forms that you fill in and they automatically be emailed to us. This will save us time in the salon completing the forms and having to use paper. This form only needs filling in once but you must satisfy the pre-screening questions everytime. To ensure safety for all this includes questions about COVID-19 and your current health. We will only accept pre booked appointments, no walk ins this is so that we can abide by the pre screening above. We will of course be pre screening ourselves everyday.

If you know you require any products, then please let us know before your appointment so we can have them ready for you. Of course if you see something you would like at your appointment we can get it for you not a problem. We will have signs on our cabinets out the front asking you not to touch or open and to ask us to get the products out for you.

Please try and book appointments together for a longer period if possible, some treatments you will see below will not be available or only available when added to another appointment. Appointments must be attended alone.

 

Arrival for treatment…

You will be required to wait outside for your appointment, either in your car or outside the salon following social distancing. We will call you in when we are ready for you. We will have notices on the door letting you know this. Please be on time for treatments or we may not be able to see you.

 

Entering the salon…

We will be wearing a mask and you will also be required to wear a mask and we will have them for you upon entry to use with our automatic (non touch) hand sanitiser on the wall. We will also be wearing visors for close up work for treatments that you need to remove your mask for like facials. We will also have a apron on either freshly laundered or a plastic sanisited one. Our uniforms will be freshly laundered each day and will be changing into them at the salon.

Reception chairs have been removed to allow for physical distancing in the reception area and allow you to walk through to the treatment room following us at a distance. There will only be one client and one therapist in reception area at a time.

We will not be wearing gloves as thorough hand washing has been advised to be more beneficial and this will be done repeatedly. Gloves will still be worn for treatments that we used to before.

 

How will the treatment room look?

You will be invited to place your items that you have with you into a box in the room, this means all of your belongings will be together and in one place. This box can then be easily sanitised after your appointment. If you can bring as little as possible to your appointment this would be useful.

Your therapist will wash their hands before they begin your treatment and during if we need to.

The treatment room will look more sparse than usual and products will be kept in cupboards and drawers and will be got out as we need them and sanitised after use and put back in the cupboard until needed again.

Facial treatments – We will not be steaming in our facials anymore at this is not safe to do so at the moment. We will have a clean freshly laundered sheet on the couch with a blanket, disposable headband and towel. These will all then be placed into the laundry after treatment or disposed of.

All other treatments will have a thick plastic cover on our couches, with fresh couch roll on. This will enable us to sanitise the plastic cover easily between clients and dispose of couch roll.

We will be using disposable towels for quite a lot of treatments these are biodegradable and ensure hygiene. And not as many towels to be washed. YAY!! Any towels that we use that need washing will as always be washed on 90 degrees.

 

After Treatment..

After treatment we will move back to the reception desk. Payment is requested by card where possible cash can be taken in need be, we will have a separate tin for cash and sanitise our hands after handling.

 

£2 will be added on to every appointment (not treatment) to cover PPE costs we hope you understand.

We will then sanitise all areas that require sanitising including card machine, door handles and treatment room and then get ready for our next client, again letting them in the door when we are ready. Extra time has been blocked after every treatment on the online booking system to give us time to do this.

 

Cleaning and Sanitising

We have protocols for cleaning and sanitising before, during and after work. High touch areas are cleaned regularly. Our sanitising wipes make it touch ready in 30 seconds!! So we can thoroughly and quickly sanitise between clients using these and use our barbicide sprays and cleaners during other times, which are in 10 minutes.

 

Treatments we will currently not be doing, this will only be for a while…

Spray Tanning

File and Polish Fingers or Toes (This is only the simple OPI file and polish, all gelish and 45 minute manicures will still be done)

Flash peels and Flashglow skin solvers (10 minutes each) can only be booked onto another appointment.

 

Can I come in and just purchase products?

We cannot allow people in the salon that do not have an appointment booked. But if you would like to collect some products we would love for you to call us and we can have them ready for you and arrange a collection time with you or Vicki will still be doing FREE local deliveries before or after work.

We hope that you feel more comfortable in coming and seeing us in the salon when we are open. If you have any questions please just ask.

As we cannot open on 4th July we are waiting for the go ahead as soon as we have a date we will let you know. Appointments can still be made online through our facebook page or website www.lillysbeautypad.co.uk please be aware they are PROVISIONAL only and will be cancelled if we cannot be open by the date you book.

More updates, salon videos and more information will come soon.

We are bursting to get back in the salon doing treatments when it is safe to do so and cannot wait to see you all.
