Guidance published to ensure safe return for salons
Hairdressers and barbers are preparing to re-open on Wednesday 15 July under the Scottish Government’s route map out of lockdown.
New guidance has been published to ensure salons can safely re-open.
The guidance also covers services such as beauty salons, spas, indoor photography studios and make-up counters which have been given an indicative opening date of 22 July.
Key measures include:
physical distancing with marked areas between seats and treatment stations
perspex screens installed at workstations, including reception areas if possible
bookings by appointment only with times staggered to minimise overlap of clients
the retention of customer details for four weeks to share details for Test and Protect if required
face coverings mandatory for staff and customers with visors recommended for staff
reading materials and refreshments removed other than water on request
Minister for Business, Fair Work and Skills Jamie Hepburn said: “The re-opening of hairdressers and barbers next week signals a further step out of lockdown for our economy and shows that we continue to make progress in successfully suppressing coronavirus (COVID-19).
“If everyone sticks to the rules we will be able to drive the virus down further and live less restricted lives in the weeks and months ahead.
“Our guidance, developed in partnership with employers, industry bodies and trades unions, provides the information these businesses need to ensure the safety of staff and customers as they re-open.
“People should look for those safety measures and be aware of the need to follow the FACTS at all times when out in the community. If you don’t see those safety measures, or you don’t feel you can follow appropriate hygiene rules, than don’t take the risk.
“We are providing grant support worth over £1 billion to businesses as part of a wider support package worth over £2.3 billion and we will continue to do all we can to support this vital sector.”
Hilary Hall, chief executive of the National Hair and Beauty Federation, said: “The Scottish hair and beauty industry generates a turnover of over £600 million, which is 8% of the UK total.
“As well as the economic contribution, this sector is also imperative to our well-being and so we are delighted that hairdressers and barbers will be able to return to work on 15 July.
“Protecting clients and employees is their top priority so our members have already been preparing their salons to make them safe to re-open. They are reporting that they are fully booked for the near future which is positive news and should mean that businesses can recover and grow from the pandemic.”
ONE of Edinburgh’s top hairdressing companies is offering hundreds of complimentary cut, blow dry and styling appointments to NHS workers when the capital’s communities are safe to return to the workplace following Covid-19.
Charlie Miller is setting aside 250 haircut appointments for allocation to NHS staff when its five Edinburgh salons reopen. This number will also increase by one additional appointment for every £100 e-voucher purchased in a ‘pay it forward’ initiative launched on its social media platforms today.
“We are all so grateful to our NHS staff for their massive personal and professional contribution during these very difficult times,” said Jason and Joshua Miller, Charlie Miller joint managing directors.
“Their support is relentless and we just want them all to know how much we appreciate their hours of hard work, determination and commitment to helping people get back to full health.
“Giving back is a huge part of the hairdressing culture and making people look and feel fantastic. We know that getting a haircut does more than just make someone look presentable. A haircut can boost overall hair health and lift your mood. After such a long and difficult situation, we’d like to give this kind of boost to our NHS staff.”
A Charlie Miller e-voucher can be bought via its online booking system at www.charliemiller.com.
