Hi Holly1991, that’s interesting about light clothing - I never thought of that! My uniform is navy, but good to know, all the same.
I’ve just received my Noel Asmar face shield.https://www.noelasmaruniforms.com/pages/wellness-face-shield
it’s a big improvement on my previous shield visibility, I’ve only used it for mani/pedi and some basic waxing but so far I’m pleased with it. It fits disconcertingly close to the face. I wear glasses which tend to slide down my nose during treatments which allows me to look over the top if I’m not doing close work. This helped a lot with the visor as it stopped my nose being flattened.
The plastic is very clear. There’s a lot of reflection and glare, but I haven’t found it to be a problem so far - I’ll keep you posted. It’s very light around the head, so it will be more comfortable if I’m warm. There’s nothing touching the forehead at all.
Guidelines for the U.K. make visors mandatory. I found wearing a mask underneath created a build up of warm moist air under the visor which makes my glasses mist up - and I can’t easily take them off in a treatment to wipe them. I’m keeping a mask in my apron pocket and popping it on for part of a treatment after quickly sanitising my gloves hands.
I would prefer to wear a mask and safety goggles instead, but that isn’t permitted at the moment in England. I think part of the protective value of PPE is that it should create a few issues for us. Otherwise we’ll be skipping around, accepting any combination of treatment bookings as if we aren’t working in close contact services during a pandemic.
