1. Self-Care Ritual

A hair appointment isn’t just about getting your hair done; it’s an
opportunity to indulge in self-care and prioritize your well-being.
Taking time out of your busy schedule to treat yourself to a salon visit
is a form of self-love that can boost your mood and reduce stress. From
the moment you step into the salon, you’re greeted with a sense of
relaxation and luxury, setting the stage for a positive and rejuvenating
experience.

2. Confidence Booster

There’s something undeniably empowering about stepping out of the salon
with a fresh haircut or color that makes you feel like a million bucks.
A new hairstyle can boost your confidence and leave you feeling ready to
take on the world. Whether it’s a bold new look or a subtle change that
enhances your natural beauty, a hair appointment has the power to
transform not just your appearance but also your mindset, giving you the
confidence to tackle whatever life throws your way.

3. Stress Relief

In today’s fast-paced world, stress is inevitable, but a trip to the
salon can provide a much-needed escape from the chaos of everyday life.
The soothing ambiance of the salon, coupled with the gentle touch of a
skilled stylist, can help melt away tension and promote relaxation. As
you sit back and unwind in the salon chair, you can let go of your
worries and focus on the simple pleasure of being pampered, leaving you
feeling refreshed and rejuvenated by the end of your appointment.

4. Personalized Attention

One of the highlights of a hair appointment is the personalized
attention and care you receive from your stylist. From consultation to
completion, your stylist is dedicated to ensuring that you leave the
salon feeling satisfied and confident with your new look. Whether it’s
offering expert advice on the best hairstyle for your face shape or
recommending products to maintain your hair’s health, your stylist is
there to cater to your individual needs and preferences, making you feel
valued and appreciated throughout the appointment.

5. Social Interaction

A hair appointment also provides an opportunity for social interaction
and human connection, which can have a positive impact on your mood.
Chatting with your stylist and fellow clients creates a sense of
camaraderie and community, fostering meaningful connections and
uplifting conversations. Whether you’re catching up with your stylist
about recent events or bonding with other clients over shared
experiences, the social aspect of a salon visit adds an extra layer of
enjoyment to the overall experience.

In conclusion, a hair appointment is more than just a routine grooming
task; it’s a transformative experience that can uplift your mood and
enhance your overall well-being. From indulging in self-care to boosting
your confidence and relieving stress, the benefits of a salon visit
extend far beyond the realm of beauty. So the next time you’re feeling
down or in need of a pick-me-up, consider scheduling a hair appointment
and experience the positive impact it can have on your mood and outlook
on life.

• Arrive at the front door for your appointment (our services are appointment only for the time being), and wait downstairs for a member of the team to arrive. Track and trace will be in place and details will be kept on file in compliance with government guidelines.

• Though staff will be wearing the government mandated PPE at all times which includes a visor, face masks can be worn by staff upon request. Face masks will be available for clients free of charge.

• We ask that clients wash their hands on arrival using the provided antibacterial soap for a minimum of 25 seconds.

• We ask that clients do not bring bags to their appointment, and do not bring anyone with them without notifying the salon beforehand. A copy of the government guidelines for indoor spaces will be available upon request.

• One of our team members will perform a head temperature check and then take you upstairs to the salon, where you will be asked to fill in a short COVID-19 screen test questionnaire.

• Consultations will be carried out using a mirror to minimise face-to-face contact, with the team member standing behind the client.

• One client will be in the salon at a time for at least the initial opening period, with 1-2 members of staff, all in compliance with government social distancing guidelines.

• Hairdressing will be carried out to industry standards and the very best of our ability as before.

• We are delighted to say that we will still be offering refreshments in disposable containers, using eco-friendly materials where possible. Magazines will no longer be offered as they increase the risk of virus spread.

• Noise will be minimised within the salon and music kept low to decrease loud conversations that may contribute to virus spread.

• Stock will still be available to be bought in the salon, simply ask a member of our team if you would like to purchase an item.

• Cash and card will both be accepted as payment, and both will be taken in a separate desk area by a separate member of staff.

• If clients wish to use the bathroom, we ask that they ask a team member. The disposable towels provided must be used and then placed in the bathroom bin, and after every use a member of the team will sanitise the bathroom immediately.

Whilst these restrictions may seem over-zealous and complicated, we kindly request each of our clients to follow them to the best of their ability. We understand that coming in to a hair salon for the first time after the lockdown can be a nerve-wracking experience, which is why we have done our very best to ensure our guidelines minimise the risk as much as possible.

Though the circumstances may have changed slightly, we are delighted to welcome clients back to The Salon Upstairs, and we hope that our precautions will enable you to have a stress-free visit and an enjoyable experience.
