‘I want to ensure clients and staff feel safe returning to the salon’
THAT ROSIE GLOW
EDINBURGH HAIR and beauty salon That Rosie Glow is preparing to open for business on July 15 after almost four months of closure due to the coronavirus lockdown. A number of safety measures will be in place to help prevent the spread of Covid-19 when the business opens. The salon has already installed clear screens between each treatment station, and at the reception desk. Customers and staff will be asked to wear face coverings, and customers will be requested to visit the salon alone where possible, and arrive on time rather than early to reduce time spent in the waiting area. They will have to keep their coats and belongings with them instead of them being hung up by staff, and there will be no magazines or refreshments available. Each station and any equipment used will be thoroughly cleaned between customers, and clean towels or gowns will be used with each one. Salon owner Rosie Fraser said: “We closed on March 23, but we have kept our social media active and positive, and kept in touch with clients.” Ms Fraser said she has tried to make the new measures as comfortable as possible, including the screens bearing the salon’s name. She said: “I wanted to make sure the clients and also the staff felt safe coming back, and we also wanted people to feel like it’s a nice experience and not too clinical. “In this new normal we will be coming into we wanted to have safety but with style so that women still feel like they are having an enjoyable experience. Our whole ethos is to make women feel empowered, beautiful, confident and glowing not only on the outside but on the inside too. With new measures making our usual level of service and attention to detail looking likely to change we did not want to have cheap looking, temporary fixtures. “We have had bespoke screens made with our logo engraved onto them and frames custom made and sprayed to be on brand.”
