The following policies & procedures are designed to create & maintain a safe, organised and fair environment for the client and therapist.
Health & Safety
The safety of my clients and myself is of the utmost importance.
- ALL NEW clients are required to complete a consultation .
- ALL clients are required to share updates to their consultation should their situation change.
- Anyone below the age of 16yrs of age requires parental consent to receive any treatments offered at Tinkerbeau. A parent must attend and be present during the consultation and will need to sign this as the responsible adult.
- Anyone below the age of 16yrs of age must be accompanied by an adult at every treatment.
- Due to the size of the garden room I can only accommodate the client and one other person at any one time unless previously arranged (such as bridal parties). Any client who arrives with more than one person will be asked to reduce their group size. Failure to comply will result in cancelled appointments.
- Clients treatments and products used will be recorded at each appointment.
- I will ensure all surfaces are sprayed with antibacterial products between all appointments.
- All metal tools/brushes will be soaked in disicide between clients and will be disinfected each evening using a UV machine.
- Disposable tissue roll will be used to cover appropriate surfaces.
- To maintain the highest level of hygiene food & drink bought from outside the salon is not permitted. I will provide a small selection of complimentary refreshments in the salon.
- Chemicals will be stored in a locked cupboard and out of reach of the public.
- I have undertaken Basic first aid training and this can be applied to minor injuries during your visit should this be required.
- ALL tinting treatments require a skin patch test at least 24 hrs before treatment. The outcome of this may result in treatment being changed or being unable to complete the treatment. Failure to agree to a patch test will result in appointments being cancelled.
