Hi everyone, I’m wondering what everyone’s thoughts are on doing certain treatments when we go back after lockdown?
I’m really worried about massage. The salon rooms are quite small (enough to fit a massage table and sink in and that’s about it) and the thought of massaging a client for an hour in that enclosed space fills me with trepidation.
I’m also worried about facials - the thought of having to wear a mask & gloves and sit at the clients head for an hour working on their face.... I wonder how safe that will be?
Then there’s waxing - I wonder how that will work? Will we still do intimate waxing, or facial waxing?
I hear the government talking about hair salons and beauty salons opening at the same time and I just wonder if they’re actually taking into account how intimate our job as Beauty Therapists is to the client - with the close contact, possible sweating clients, warm enclosed often small salon rooms and length of time we are in the room for.
Does anyone know what the guidelines are for Beauty Therapists going back to work?
If we work for an employer can we refuse to do a treatment if we’re not comfortable with it?
Does anyone have any thoughts?
Sorry for the long post - it’s just been on my mind a lot so thought I’d ask.
Thanks x
