BOOK YOUR APPOINTMENT ONLINE
To our much valued clients,
We are delighted to say we are (finally) open for business as usual. Our phone lines are live during opening hours or if you prefer you can book online. 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. Please see below for details of our Covid-safe guidelines.
Kind regards,
Richard, Hellen & the Richard Ward Team
We are 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, vulnerable or wish to have applicable services undertaken in our VIP room (at no extra charge) please contact our Salon Manager [email protected] Alternatively, we run a skeleton staff on Mondays so the salon is far quieter and each client will have far more 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. Where possible we are working in compliance with Personal Care sector government guidelines. We appreciate your understanding during this time and ask that you take note of the following before your visit:
- Please bring as few personal items or bags with you as possible. We are only offering strictly limited cloakroom facilities in compliance with government guidelines. All items are left entirely at the 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 (except guide dogs, hearing dogs or assistance dogs).
- Please arrive promptly at your scheduled appointment time.
- If you require a face covering a member of our team will provide a complimentary disposable mask upon request. If you would like to use a pair of disposable 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 – Cavell Nurses Trust.
- 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.
- Unless exempt, all clients must wear a face covering at all times once they enter the salon. A member of staff may instruct you to do so in case you forget.
- Before conducting any colour service, your Technician or Therapist will ask you to complete our Allergy Alert Questionnaire.
- 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 with the aim of minimising the number of people in the salon at any one time. 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.
In order to protect everyone within the salon we are asking all staff and clients to please stay at home if you are displaying any symptoms of Covid 19. We would rather cancel an appointment than take the risk of infecting others. If you are symptomatic, you will need to notify us so we can reschedule your appointment. Please see details of our Covid-19 Risk Assessment. If you have previously tested positive for Covid 19, you must notify us at the time of booking, as research suggests that the virus may effect your colour, treatment or service result. We will require you to be allergy alert tested in-salon 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. The salon offers cashless-tipping via the ThankU app for those team members who are signed up. Charges apply.
Food & Drink
Our fully licensed bar and independent catering services are currently operating under government guidelines for the hospitality sector.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
