    Clients going mad over appointments!

    The waiting list has been more stressful than the shutdown. So far ours have been very patient and understanding but there’s still those few that want the first appointments and start looking elsewhere if they have to wait. There’s only so much you can do.

    Six months!

    NHBF have just said on their website that it is not official government policy but from only one independent advisory to the government. I am sure it will all change again by tomorrow. Other countries have opened salons so will have to see how that turns out .

    Six months!

    I can’t see it being that long but having said that I am very concerned as to how this is all going to pan out . In a largely female staffed industry and no signs yet of school going back there will be childcare issues and due to this virus it won’t be as easy to have children in the salon...

    What new procedures following Covid-19?

    Yes we are just putting together all new procedures at the moment and I definitely think masks for now at least . Scheduling will also have to change with extra time for sanitation. Going to take some planning I think.

    Any business owners clued up on maternity pay?

    For smaller businesses he would go online and fill out a form including your due date from Matb1 form ( don’t think they need the actual matb1 sent just the dates from it ) then he can request advanced funding which he should then pay to you via payroll.

    "Fed up" owners group

    These are all the reasons why I am selling up and to be honest I feel liberated by the decision. Just want to work for myself and not have to manage people anymore.I constantly feel like I have to be on everyone's back all the time to have things done as they should and it's exhausting.
