Award-Winning Colchester Hair Salon for Men, Women & Children.

We’re preparing for the next step…

by

Monday 19th July will see the start of our next step towards the “new normal”, which will undoubtedly present a whole new set of challenges! 

During the next phase of lifting restrictions, our number one priority is the safety of our clients and our team. While we are very much looking forward to returning to a more relaxed way of working, we are also very aware that our primary duty of care is the continued safety of our clients and our team.

 

As from July 19th we have adapted our “Visiting the Salon Guidelines”. Our salons will not be operating at full capacity as we maintain social distancing. Our stylists will be encouraged to wear masks where appropriate, and be regularly tested. Extra cleaning measures will continue, sanitising points will remain and NHS Track and Trace will continue to be available for clients if they wish to check in.

 

Our aim is to continue to provide a safe environment for our clients, so as restrictions are lifted, we will continue to monitor the situation to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe. Despite having to take these measures, it is important to us that you are still able to relax and enjoy your visit and we will ensure you receive the best possible service, afterall our aim is for you to leave our salon looking totally gorgeous and feeling revitalised!

It is becoming apparent that the ‘track and trace’ isolation policy could impact our staffing levels over the next few weeks, so in an effort to keep things moving in the right direction, we would appreciate it if you could help us by being as considerate as possible to other clients and our team as we progress through this next phase.

 

Our revised guidelines are set out below which will hopefully answer any questions you have about visiting our salons as from 19th July.

 

COVID-19 POLICY

If you have symptoms of Covid-19, please do not come to the salon, instead please contact the salon by telephone as soon as possible so that we can reschedule your appointment.

It’s time to spring into summer and feel good!

by

As the restrictions are gradually being lifted this week and life begins to feel a bit more normal, (even though the weather feels more like April!), it is still essential to make time to focus on your own wellbeing – to pause, relax and feel GOOD.

At Fatal Attraction we look forward to welcoming you back to our salon, to brighten your day and make you look and feel totally gorgeous!

While times remain very challenging for everyone right now, the FA Creative Team continues to work hard to ensure your visit is enjoyable and relaxing. Safety is our main priority and we are therefore working with a maximum of 4 stylists in our salons, in line with the latest guidance. All equipment, chairs and basins are cleaned and sanitised in between clients, so you can sit back, relax and rest assured you are in safe hands.

Our complimentary refreshments will be offered during your hair service, from our delicious cappuccinos to calming herbal teas – it’s time to enjoy life’s little luxuries that keep us smiling and make us happy!

SKIN TESTS
Just a quick reminder that due to our latest industry and government guidance regarding Covid-19 and the vaccination programme, we are required to skin test everyone who is having a colour or chemical treatment at least 48hrs prior to their appointment, so please pop into the salon to have this done.

LET’S STAY SAFE!
When you enter the salon a QR code is displayed for you to scan if you have the new NHS covid 19 test & trace app on your mobile phone. Alternatively your contact details will be taken and passed to the NHS if required.

As a reminder, please see the safety guidelines for your visit to the salon below.
• Please, please, please arrive on time for your appointment!!

BOOKING & CANCELLATION POLICY
Our on-line booking system is back up and running. Please note we will be taking a 50% deposit and you will receive either an email or text notification confirming your appointment. If you would prefer to give us a call to discuss your requirements, that’s absolutely fine too!

Your hair appointment at Fatal Attraction is reserved specifically for you. We’d therefore appreciate it if you could kindly notify us 48 hours in advance if you wish to cancel or reschedule an appointment.

If you have symptoms of Covid-19, please do not come to the salon, instead please telephone the salon as soon as possible so that we can reschedule your appointment.

Please be reminded that due to Covid19 we are having to charge a 50% deposit when booking in the event your appointment is cancelled. Unfortunately we are no longer able to accept walk in appointments or fill cancellations. We will therefore hold your deposit for when you are able to make a future appointment.

Remember to follow us on Facebook & instagram. Like, share and comment on your favourite posts.

We have a date, let’s celebrate!

by

WE HAVE A DATE, LET’S CELEBRATE 🥂
Thanks to all our wonderful clients for your patience during these difficult times. This winter has been particularly hard and we have definitely felt the effects of this lockdown more so than the two previous lockdowns. So let’s all hope we have reached a turning point and that we never have to go back and instead we can begin to look forwards to the rest of this year with a lot more positivity.

SALON RE-OPENING 12TH APRIL
With the latest announcement from Boris yesterday evening, it’s looking hopeful that we’ll be able to re-open our salons from 12th of April. That’s 49 days and counting!!

Of course we will continue to follow the government and NHS guidance – so this date may change and we will also be preparing for this eventuality. We will keep you posted of any changes. Depending on the situation at the time, this may affect some rescheduled appointments, but we will try and make sure everyone is catered for as soon as possible, so please bear with us.

BOOKING SYSTEM
For the moment we are not taking bookings on-line, however we have put together a priority list and we will contact you as follows:
1. Those of you that have had missed appointments during lockdown in date order, from Boxing Day onwards, in order to reschedule.
2. For those of you wishing to book new appointments, we have set up a waiting list (please see details below) and we will contact all clients on the list in turn.
3. Once the missed appointments have been rescheduled and all waiting list appointments booked, we will then re-open our on-line booking system for new appointments.

IN ORDER TO BE ADDED TO OUR WAITING LIST:
• Please DM us or email info@fatalattractionhairdesign.co.uk
• Please include your full name, contact number and the salon you visit (Sudbury/Colchester) along with the service you require and your preferred stylist.
• Please do not telephone, as one of our team will contact you in the priority order set out above.

We are so grateful for your loyalty, support and kindness during the past couple of months and we are really looking forward to welcoming you back very soon. As always, please stay safe.

Love from Des, Tracie and the FA Creative Team xx
