Ramsgate Hairdressers getting ready to Re-Open
THE NEW OBSESSION
the new obsessions.
This year the world has been turned upside down because of COVID- 19 business everywhere have sadly had to shut their doors, workers have had to stay home and unsure if they will ever go back to normal again.
We have all had a good lesson washing our hands and the importance of slowing down.
It’s been a wonderful time for self-love, getting to know the people you live with, finding ourselves and coming together in a time we were told to stay apart.
Our lives are changing.
What’s the new Obsession going to look like?
The BIG question on everyone’s lips is: what will obsessions salon in Ramsgate be like after COVID-19 and will my salon experience change?
So I can tell you that Jennifer and Chloe will be leading us into the new obsessions experience and as scary as it may sound it’s also a very exciting one too.
They are working hard to keep the obsessions experience as calm and luxurious as we have all come to expect and love.
Over the last few weeks, Chloe and I have both become barbicide certified which is a really important part of keeping obsessions salon clean and sanitary, following governments guidelines and in keeping with our already high standards of salon cleanliness.
When will you be open again?
At my time of writing this, we at obsessions salon in Ramsgate are working to governments guidelines and hoping to reopen doors as a team on 4th July independence day which is very apt don’t you think? 🙂
Governments guidelines state that we may only be allowed a limited number of people in the salon at any one time. We may have to work different shifts and have different start and finish times but we are waiting for clarification on this at the moment.
What will be the new protocol?
We will also have an empty station in between each stylist so that you will be the two meters apart from any other guests in the salon.
We will be strictly only allowing you the guest in to have your hair done alone, no children, husbands or friends may attend with you to your appointment.
We will be wearing aprons, gloves and face masks for your protection as well as our own. (not looking forward to that one lol) Please feel free to wear your own face mask to your appointment if it makes you feel more comfortable and safe we will also have facemasks for our guests on-site at our sanitisation station.
Jennifer is going to be leading our front of house and is setting up a sanitation station near reception for you to use when you come in for your appointment. It will be located directly as you enter the door to your right and will have hand gel, masks and single-use bags for you to pop your coat into minimising touchpoints and cross-contamination.
Shampoo Area?
There will be a screen put up at the wash house area since we can not move or change the arrangements there.
We also have our recyclable towels for single use at the wash house which we already use and are very effective at helping to keep a hygienic environment. We will also be using a new gown for each guest reduce any cross infection.
How will services look?
For our guests on a long session such as a colour service we will definatly be serving bottled water but are waiting to find out about hot drinks. Our issue lies in keeping the team 2 meters apart which just can not happen in our team room where the drinks are made. Please feel free to bring your own magazines or reading devices for your visits, we wont be providing them as they are a touch point that cant be cleaned.
We are all so lucky that Jennifer and Chloe will be leading us through this new experience to maintain our much-loved salon experience but also to make it a more enjoyable and safe one too.
I look forward to seeing you all in the new obsessions salon Ramsgate very soon
