COVID-19 POLICY & PROCEDURES 

Last updated 01/10/20

The following will be updated as and when government guidelines change. 

 

It is of paramount importance to us that any client and stylist associated with our company stay safe during this time. Therefore we have created the following policies which are in line with government advice and guidance, to reduce the risk to both clients and stylists of contracting Coronavirus (COVID-19) whilst receiving services from/performing services for The Bridal Stylists.

As part of our terms of business, this policy should be followed by all stylists, clients and members of the wedding party, including all people present at the booking location. In the instance that all or some of the above mentioned individuals refuse to follow this policy, we reserve the right to terminate the contract with all monies paid being retained to cover losses incurred. 

 

 

OUR responsibilities as a company to keep YOU safe whilst providing services during the COVID-19 pandemic - (section 1)

 

When providing close contact services, the nature of the work is such that maintaining social distancing will not be possible when actively serving a client. In these circumstances our stylists should do everything they reasonably can to reduce risk. Mitigating actions include:

 

1.1. Confirming the absence of high temperature/fever of themselves and of the individual, which may include taking the client’s temperature using a touch-free thermometer, before providing the service. 

 

1.2. Stylists are to wear personal protective equipment (PPE) in the form of a protective visor as a recommended requirement by the government, with the following items of PPE being used in addition to a visor at the stylist’s discretion:

 

  • An additional face covering such as a mask (recommended when applying makeup)

  • Gloves

  • An apron or gown

 

Disposable PPE is to be disposed of into a waste container with a lid/sealable plastic bag, after each individual client's service has been completed. 

 

Reusable PPE is not to be taken off for the duration of the booking and must be sanitised prior to each new booking. If an apron or gown is not worn during a booking then the upper garments should be changed once the booking has been completed and before their next booking commences.

 

1.3. Stylists will ensure that they thoroughly wash their hands with soap and water at the following points as a minimum:

 

  • Leaving the home address.

  • On arrival at the booking.

  • Before and after using the toilet.

  • Before commencing the service

  • Before putting on PPE.

  • After touching the face with bare hands.

  • After removing PPE.

  • Where it is not practical or possible to wash hands, the stylist shall instead use a hand sanitiser, containing a minimum of 70% alcohol

 

1.4. Stylists will frequently clean all items in use, including their work station, between each individual client. This may require the original timings of the booking to be extended to allow additional time for cleaning. 

 

Mandatory cleaning practices include, but are not limited to:

 

  • Using a separate set of makeup brushes on each individual client, placing them into a sealed plastic bag until they can be sanitised at home using an appropriate antiviral cleaning fluid.

  • Using disposable makeup tools where possible.

  • Spatulating makeup products onto a fully sanitised/disposable palette or using a fresh brush for each application in order to reduce the risk of cross-contamination through “double dipping”.

  • Using disposable wipes and towels.

  • Using one set of hair tools (for example but not limited to, brushes and combs) on each individual client, then placing them into a sealed plastic bag until they can be cleaned using an appropriate antiviral cleaning fluid.

  • Using spray or pump products where possible in order to reduce the risk of cross-contamination through “double dipping”.

  • Minimising the use of hair dryers wherever possible.

  • Cleaning heated styling tools between each individual client using an appropriate antiviral cleaning fluid.

 

1.5. It may not be possible for a stylist to provide their own table and chair when on location. In these cases, stylists will provide protective coverings for the work stations which shall be provided by the client. All disposable coverings will be changed between each client and disposed of as above. Non-disposable coverings are to be changed in between each client and placed in a sealed bag until they can be sanitised after completion of the booking. 

 

1.6. Stylists will provide clients access to tissues and inform them that if they do need to cough or sneeze, they should do so into the tissue, which should then be discarded appropriately and that they should wash their hands thoroughly or use hand sanitiser after using a tissue. 

 

1.7. Stylists will avoid touching any personal items including their mobile phone whilst providing the service where possible and will sanitise their hands immediately after use if touching personal items can not be avoided. Only vital personal items will be brought with them into the booking. 

 

1.8. In the instance that a stylist believes that they may have become infected with Coronavirus, or is informed that someone with whom they have been in contact in the past 14 days has/may have become infected with Coronavirus, they shall:

 

 

  • Follow the advice of the NHS and government, which is currently:
-Stay at home for 7 days from the 1st date of symptoms.
-Stay at home for 14 days from the 1st date of symptoms of a person
who lives at the same home address as the stylist.

  • Make contact via phone call, text message or email with everyone whom
the stylist has been in contact within the past 14 days, to inform them
that they should also follow the advice above.

 

1.9. Ventilation plays a huge part in preventing the spread of COVID-19, therefore stylists shall open as many doors and windows as possible to increase ventilation in the room where they are providing the services. 

 

1.10. Stylists shall keep eating and drinking to a minimum during the duration of the booking and only consume where absolutely necessary.
