Always Make Room For a Little Beauty in Your Life.

Welcome to Aoife Garrihy Beauty.  Since our worlds were turned upside down, we have had to adapt to ‘The New Normal’. We have missed our clients deeply since we closed our doors on March 14th 2020 (due to Covid-19), but are very excited to open those doors on July 7th 2020. Going forward, I want to assure all of our clients, that your safety is paramount to us. Here is how Aoife Garrihy Beauty will be operating.

BOOKING APPOINTMENTS

All appointments made at Aoife Garrihy Beauty, must be made via phone, email, or through our app/website. No one will be allowed ‘walk in’ to the salon to book an appointment, it must be made in advance. Any client with an appointment that feels ill/has symptoms of Covid 19, please DO NOT ENTER THE SALON.

VISITING THE SALON

For your safety, & the safety of our staff, our front door will remain closed, at all times. If you have an appointment with us, or you wish to purchase/collect retail products/vouchers, you must be buzzed into the salon.

We have installed a new on door access system, which will prevent walk ins, & only allows those with reason to enter our premises. This means for you, that there will never be an overall flow of customers in the salon at any given time, & social distancing can be possible.

Prior to your appointment, we will have issued each client a consultation form via email/text. This needs to be filled out before you arrive for your appointment, so we can make sure you are fit for the pre-booked appointment, & do not display symptoms of Covid 19.

We will be logging your appointment time & details on our Phorest system.

We have increased the frequency of cleaning & disinfecting the salon. This includes areas with high touch points such as door handles, reception desk, chairs, stairs, etc.

When coming for your appointment/collecting retail or vouchers, we ask that it is ONLY you entering the premises. If you bring your children/friend etc with you, we will not allow them into the salon.

Wall mounted hand sanitisers will be in every room, & at our entry/exit point of the salon.

Social distancing signage will be placed in our reception area, so we ask you adhere to this.

If you have your own face mask, please wear to your appointment. If you do not, a disposable face mask will be given to each client to wear during appointments, where possible.

I can confirm that the laundering of salon towels & uniforms is a priority, and all laundry items are washed at 60 degrees C. All towels are changed after each client.

All work stations are sanitised & disinfected after each client, along with all tools and equipment used during each treatment. All PPE gear worn by therapists will be disposed of in a closed bin. Sharps boxes are used for the disposal of sharps & clinical waste is bagged separately.

Windows will be open where possible to allow for ventilation.

Any refreshments such as tea/coffee/water will be offered where possible, in biodegradable disposable cups.

TREATMENTS

I have carried out a risk assessment on all treatments, & I am confident myself and my staff, can continue to provide them safely.

During your treatment

I understand the importance of hand hygiene, & I will ensure that I wash my hands in accordance with NHS recommendations, before every treatment, and after every treatment. I will be wearing a clean, fresh pair of gloves during every treatment where possible. I will do everything I can to make your treatment as safe, comfortable, & as enjoyable as possible.

After your treatment

Once your treatment is over, you will be asked to head to our reception area when ready, to pay for your appointment/pre book your next appointment/purchase products or vouchers. We will be accepting payments of cash, card, cheques & vouchers; however, we ask you to pay by card where possible. Once you have finished, you will be buzzed out of the salon.

 

All of these procedures have been implemented for your safety, mine, & my staff. I will continue to take advice from our Government on guidelines given.

 

Thank you for your patience & understanding. All of the staff at Aoife Garrihy Beauty look forward to welcoming you to our salon!

We look forward to seeing you.
