Coronavirus (COVID-19) Infection Prevention & Control Policy

For

Pebble Health and Beauty

​

All of us have been affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. We have taken this down time to make sure we are adhering to the highest level of hygiene following COVID-19 and want all our clients to feel safe with us in the salon. 

We have missed being able to offer you the treatments that we know you love, and we are looking forward to seeing you again as soon as possible. 

Our priority is to keep you as safe as possible, and prior to re-opening the salon we have implemented a number of changes which we would like to make you aware of. During the time the salon has been shut, Kerry has completed the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Infection Prevention and Control course which is accredited by the Guild of Professional Beauty Therapists Ltd, the UK trade body for our industry. We have since made a some changes in the way that we operate that you will notice when you next visit and have added to our extensive cleaning regime.

 

Booking Appointments

​

If I or any of our staff feel ill or have symptoms of C0VlD-19, we will self-isolate immediately and not come into the salon. This may mean that we have to cancel your appointment at short notice. we appreciate that this may be inconvenient but it is done entirely for your own safety. If your appointment is cancelled with your chosen therapist, we will firstly call you with the aim to move you in with someone else at the original time of booking however if this isn’t suitable for you or we don’t have required time we will get you booked back in as soon as possible on a day that suits you. 

If you or any of the people you live with feel ill or display any symptoms of C0VlD-19 – please advise us as soon as possible and DO NOT COME TO THE SALON FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT. We appreciate at this time some appointments may need to be cancelled at short notice there will be no cancellation fee at this time (will update once vaccine has been found or risk is no longer there.)

 

Visiting the Salon

​

For your safety and to maintain social distancing, we ask that you attend your appointments as close to the appointment time as possible please come alone to appointment as no waiting will be available in reception. Please do not turn up early for appointments as this may mean that you come into contact with other clients who are just leaving and may have to wait outside. At this time we will also not be providing magazines to read or glasses of water please bring your own water for appointments.

We have increased the frequency of cleaning in the salon including making sure that common surfaces, toilets door handles etc. are wiped clean using disinfectant products before, between and after each client and at least every hour including common areas and door handles.

All tools and equipment will be disinfected or sterilised in line with the specific manufacturers’ instructions for your safety.  

​

Wherever possible we will utilise environmentally, friendly, single use items during a treatment that will be disposed of safely after use in order to protect you from cross infection. 

You will have access to soap and hot water to wash your hands with as soon as you enter the salon and we will also have hand sanitiser available for you to use when you come into the salon. Please do not be offended we will ask all clients to wash hands or at minimum use hand sanitiser when entering the salon.

we will understand and not be offended if you wear disposable gloves when you visit the salon and during your treatment is this is appropriate face masks are no longer required you are more then welcome to provide your own or we will have a single use face mask available to purchase for £1.00 at time of appointment.

Please don’t be surprised or upset if our staff use personal protective equipment (PPE) during your visit and during your treatment. This may include disposable gloves visors and face masks where appropriate. 

We can confirm that the laundering of salon towels and uniforms is a priority we can assure you that all salon laundry is washed at 60 degrees C and all washes include antibacterial solution alongside other detergents.

All disposable items are bagged and safely removed from the treatment area between each client. 

 

Our treatments

We have carried out a risk assessment on all treatments and at this time following government guidelines spray tan and threading are no longer available at Pebble. We will be offering all other treatments and with the exception of massage gloves and PPE will be worn. At any time we feel a treatment is not safe for us to do we will remove this item temporarily from the list and all clients will be informed.

 

During your treatment

Our staff understand the importance of hand hygiene and we will ensure that we wash our hands in according with NHS recommendations before the start of your treatment.

We will try to make your treatment as safe, comfortable and enjoyable as possible. If you have any concerns about your treatments please let us know and we will do what we can to satisfy you.

 

After the treatment

In order to avoid handling of cash, we would prefer if you could pay for your treatment by card or other cashless payments. 

​

All of these procedures have been implemented for your safety and that of our staff. We will continue to take advice from the Government and the NHS regarding safe practice and will amend them as necessary. 

Thanks you for your understanding.
