Covid-19 Safety & Hygiene

Covid-19 may seem like a while ago now, but in this industry you will be pleased to know that we always have taken a lot of precautions with hygiene, even more so now. I am fully vaccinated and I have a number of procedures in place to protect you and your family and also to protect me and mine.

  • Generally just two people are allowed to attend the appointment, so that is one parent and one child, or one adult and one other person, or family member for support. If you have two children having ear piercing, then the three of you can come in together. Please don’t bring other family members, or friends, or ask to share an appointment with anyone else. If you have a difficulty with this, do get in touch.
  • Under 18s must come with a parent, or their official legal guardian, who will need to give their written permission on the consent form, when at the appointment. Please don’t send them with other family members, or friends. Do get in touch if you have questions about this.
  • If you are an adult under 25, please bring an in date, valid photo ID that has the PASS hologram. I accept Passports, Full/Provisional Drivers License, Citizens Card, or a PASS certified ID Card). 
  • If you are in a very vulnerable group, I recommended that you don’t book for a piercing at this time, unless you have had the OK from your GP.
  • It is imperative that you do not come to your appointment if you, or anyone in your household, currently have any COVID-19 symptoms, like a cough, a temperature, change in taste/smell, or shortness of breath. Please get in touch with me ASAP to rearrange your appointment. If you are experiencing symptoms like these, then wait 14 days before attending an appointment.
  • On arrival, I do ask you to leave your shoes, bags and coats outside the salon room and firstly go to the sink in the salon room and wash your hands thoroughly for 20 seconds with hot water and antibacterial hand wash. 
  • The therapy table will be covered with a wipeable covering and also hygiene paper.
  • As is my usual practice, disposable materials will be used where possible and the room will be ventilated.
  • I use appropriate PPE, including wearing surgical gloves for the piercing.
  • As is my usual practice, all surfaces will be sanitised and disinfected, reusable tools will be cleaned and disinfected with Saloncide before each appointment. Do check the link below to read about how effective this is. www.saloncidesolutions.co.uk/coronavirus-covid-19-and-saloncide/
  • Jewellery used for the piercing will always be sterile.
  • If you would like to take a before and after picture of your child then feel free, but please not of me and do not film or photograph me while I am working.
  • I do take cash for payments, due at the appointment.
