Today felt like we’ve never been away! It’s been great seeing you all and we’re so glad we’re back

​

We want a say a huge thank you to everyone who waited patiently today! We know some of you waited an hour and 40 minutes to see us and we’re so grateful.

Another thank you to all the girls working today, we really appreciate it! A huge thank you to Lisa’s Auntie Pam, who came to help save us! You took huge pressure off us by sweeping up, cleaning our chairs between customers, organising the queue and most importantly making us cups of tea!

​

Sorry to everyone who missed out on a haircut today, we hadn’t eaten and really needed a break by the end of the day. Also to anyone who phoned today, sorry we couldn’t take your call we were just to busy.

​

We’re back again tomorrow at 9am with extra staff again! Can’t wait to see you all again

Tuesday 22nd September

​

Good evening,

​

I know it feels like everything we're saying is on repeat but we want to make sure everything is clear for when you visit us. The government's advice is changing a lot recently, so we wanted keep you all updated with what's happening in the salon.

 

Today, Boris Johnson announced that further steps will be taken against business who do not follow the guidelines. If they are not followed, fines will be imposed and businesses could be forced to shut down. We certainly do not want this to happen. Please help us by reading the Information below.

 

Face Masks

You are still required to wear a face mask in the salon, this was made mandatory by the government on Saturday 8th August. We understand people don't enjoy wearing a face mask but we haven't made the rules we're just following them. Trust us we don't enjoy wearing them either but we want to keep everyone safe.

You can purchase one from us for £1 if you don't have one.

 

Staff

All members of staff are still continuing to wear a face mask and face visor when cutting hair.

 

Test / Track & Trace

You are required to leave your details behind at the end of your hair cut. This was made mandatory on Friday 18th September. The details include:

- Your name

- Date of visit

- Time of visit

- Barber who cut your hair.

 

All details are destroyed after 21 days.

 

QR code

We have our own unique QR code which will be available to use from Thursday 24th September. The code will be displayed twice in the salon. To be able to use our QR code you need to download the NHS Covid-19 app. If you don't use the QR code you will be asked to leave your details manually.

 

Waiting area / Sofa

Unfortunately, we can only have 2 people sat on the sofa inside waiting, this can be your family in one area if you're from the same household. If we have spare barber chairs available we will allow you to take a seat in them. During busy times we will use the number system, the information about this can be found on our website. 

​

 

Thank you so much for continuing to support us, it really means a lot to us. We apologies for all the information we keep sending out we just want to reassure everyone we are doing our absolute best to keep everyone safe.

Face Masks

​

Due to the government's guidelines changing all staff with be wearing face masks and face visors from Saturday 15th July. You as customers are still also required to wear a face mask whilst you're in the salon.  

​

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Tuesday 4th August 

 

Face Masks are REQUIRED from Saturday 8th August.

​

Due to the government's guidelines changing regularly and us following them, it means there have to be a few changes. When the first guidelines came out for us re-opening, you were not required to wear a face mask in the salon as long as each member of staff wore a face visor when cutting hair. Recently the government made it mandatory to wear a face mask or face covering in shops. We did not fall in this category, so it wasn't compulsory or law that you had to wear one. Every customer that has been in has always had the option to wear a mask, if they feel more comfortable / safer. 

 

However, from Saturday 8th August, it is mandatory that you wear a face mask while in the salon. This also includes when you are having your haircut. Obviously when we are going round the ears / neckline we will ask you to hold the face mask on the side of your cheek or remove it just while we go round these areas. Unfortunately, we have no control over this. We have to continue to follow the government's guidelines to ensure that we can stay open and keep everyone safe. Attached below is a post from The Hair & Barber Council. We are also waiting on a response from the British Barbers Association, which we will attach below and on our social media pages. 

 

You do not need to wear a face mask if you have a legitimate reason not to. All the reasons can be found on the government's website HERE. 

 

A few reasons are:

​

• Young children under the age of 11

• Not being able to put on, wearing or removing a face mask because of a physical or mental illness, or impairment or disability

• If putting on, wearing or removing a face covering will cause you severe distress

• Breathing issues

• You have an exemption card

 

If you turn up for your haircut without a mask we can provide one but unfortunately, there will need to be an additional charge of £1 per mask. All our staff will still wear a face visor throughout your haircut until the government gives us a new update.

 

Thank you for your understanding and for following the new rules.
