Yes I’m going to start with a reduced treatment menu. I don’t want to be bending over people’s faces.
I’m quick at waxing, so after some thought, I’ve decided that I will wax underarms, but basically I’m waxing from the navel down.
I’ve decided that I will do brows (wax, not thread) and lash lifting. I’ll be wearing a visor over a mask.
I’ve done a video in how to thread yourself and I’ll encourage clients to do their own facial threading. I think I’ll have to sell small quantities of wax and spatulas and teach clients how to wax their faces virtually. Either that or set up a gazebo in the garden and a long extension lead. I think I can wax over faces etc with a visor but the worry for me is how to stop any virus building up in my treatment room during the course of the day. Covid19 doesn’t live in the air, it’s carried on moisture, but I’m not sure if I’ve had Covid and if I have to close because I’m sick, I think that will frighten away my clients.
Doing treatments facing clients may not be permitted. We’ll be safer if we ask clients not to talk during treatments. We produce NO3 in our sinuses which disinfects bacteria etc when we inhale. Obviously it doesn’t sterilise everything, but it gives us a chance. Bodies are amazingly well designed. If our clients are breathing through their noses we’ll have a reduced virus exposure than if they’re yapping because their exhaled bacteria and virus will be reduced.
