BOOK YOUR APPOINTMENT ONLINE
To our much valued clients,
Following the government’s recent announcement, we are delighted to (hopefully) finally re-open the salon on Monday 12th April.
We will be opening up our telephone lines and online booking service in due course, but in the interim, please email [email protected] for appointments. We kindly ask you please not to make duplicate requests. If we unable to reopen on the above date your appointment will automatically be cancelled.
We very much look forward to welcoming you back into the salon shortly and thank you for your on-going loyalty and greatly appreciated custom, as ever.
Kind regards,
Richard, Hellen & the Richard Ward Team
When we reopen we will be fully operational in a Covid-secure environment and able to offer all our regular treatments and services with all your favourite team members. If you are shielding or vulnerable and therefore wish to have your services undertaken in our VIP room (at no extra charge) please contact our Salon Manager [email protected] Alternatively, we run a skeleton staff on a Monday so the salon is far quieter and each client will have vast amounts of space to socially distance. Early mornings are also our off-peak times with fewer staff and clients in-salon. When we welcome you into the salon, the experience will be a little different until restrictions are fully lifted. We will be working in compliance with government guidelines issued for our sector with the aim of minimising the number of people our clients and staff come into contact with for the duration of their visit. We appreciate your understanding during this time and ask that you take note of the below before your visit:
- Please bring as few personal items or bags with you as possible. We are only offering strictly limited cloakroom facilities during the winter months and items are left entirely at owner’s risk.
- Please do not bring children or other guests with you unless they are also having a service with a team member.
- Please do not bring any pets with you.
- Please arrive promptly at your scheduled time.
- Upon arrival a member of our team will check your temperature and offer you complimentary PPE, should you require it. If you would like to use a pair of gloves during your visit please advise a member of staff who will provide them. If you wish to use the PPE we have provided please make a donation to our chosen NHS charity.
- When entering the salon all clients must sanitise their hands thoroughly using the foot pedal pump located just inside the main salon door. There are hand sanitising stations throughout the salon and spa.
- Please wear a face covering at all times once you enter the salon – a member of staff may instruct you to do so in case you forget.
- Wherever possible we will be respecting social distancing rules whilst operational. Similarly, we ask you to respect the social distancing guidelines throughout your visit.
- When possible your stylist or technician will also be conducting your backwash service, with the aim of limiting the number of team members you come into direct contact with.
- Unless they are exempt, all team members will be wearing a visor (and a face mask where possible) for the duration of your service and either/or if they are moving around the salon or on cleaning duties.
- Clients will not be able to blow dry their own hair after colour services under any circumstances until restrictions are fully lifted as we will need you to leave the building as quickly as possible after your booked service is completed. If you are having colour only and do not wish to leave with wet hair please book a blow dry with your service.
- Following government guidelines, we are currently unable to offer magazines.
- As we have changed to a cloud-based software system to reduce the number of customer service assistants in-salon at any one time and enable on-line bookings, our ReWard & Loyalty Points Programmes are not operational at present. Points earned will not be lost but will be able to be used on a selection of rewards in the future once we integrate our systems.
Feeling unwell or having a raised temperature
In order to protect everyone within the salon we are asking all staff and clients to please stay at home if you are showing any signs of being unwell. We would rather cancel an appointment than take the risk that you may have the virus that could be passed on to others.
- Have you had the recent onset of a new continuous cough?
- Do you have a high temperature?
- Have you noticed a loss of, or change in, normal sense of taste or smell?
If you have answered yes to any of these questions you will need to notify us so we can reschedule your appointment. If you are found to have a temperature upon arrival, or to have answered yes to any of the above, we will not be able to proceed with your appointment. Please see details of our Covid-19 Risk Assessment on our website – www.richardward.com. If you have previously tested positive for Covid 19, you must notify us at the time of booking, as research suggests that it may effect your colour, treatment or service result. We will require you to be allergy alert tested before your appointment and to bring anti-histamine with you in case of an allergic reaction, as we are unable to administer medication.
Home visits
If you live within the local area you can request a home visit for manicure, pedicure, cutting, styling or technical work if the team member is happy to do so. We will expect our team and the client household to follow PPE protocols and relevant government guidelines. There should only be one client or member of the household should be in the room while the service is being provided and where possible the windows will need to be open for ventilation.
Payment
If you would prefer to pay in advance please let us know when you check-in.
Food & Drink
Our fully licensed bar and independent catering services will be operating under government guidelines for the hospitality sector.

If you have a valid Richard Ward gift card with credit, we urgently need to swap it over to our new admin system. Please email [email protected] with your name and gift card number so we can re-validate your card.
