COVID-19 Guidelines

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we will be following strict guidelines in order to protect the safety of clients and staff. These guidelines will be used in conjunction with the Health & Safety & Sanitation rules we already have in place to carry out our treatments. Caroline has completed an ITEC Level 2 in Infections Protection (COVID 19) for beaty therapy as well as the continued practice of safe infection control measures beyond the standard practice.

As part of the pre- forms you are required to submit, we will ask questions relating to your general health specific to COVID 19. Such as – have you had a cough? a fever and or/temperature?  Are you living with anyone who is sick or quarantined?

If the answer if yes, and you are thought to be at risk of having covid we will reschedule your appointment for a later date.
