OUR SHOP - COVID POLICY

Over this past 18 months we have had to adapt and change our business to ensure we are covid secure, putting the protection and safety of our team at the forefront of every decision made.

With this in mind and with the changing government guidelines, I wanted to outline our covid policy from 19^th July 2021 onwards…

To continue to ensure a safe and enjoyable shopping experience for you and for our team we have the following policy and procedures in place for your safety:

• Face coverings: whilst these are no longer obligatory, we would prefer that you continue to wear your face covering in store, particularly if you are in close contact with a member of our team. 
• Hand Sanitising stations throughout the store.
• Social Distancing observed by our team and customers.
• The Dressing Room team shall be undertaking regular lateral flow testing.
• A Perspex screen at the till point.
• All touch points within the store will be cleaned regularly.
• Virtual Styling Appointments available for anyone unable or not ready to come out just yet. 

*We are a lip reading friendly establishment.  If you are deaf or hard of hearing, just let us know and we will lower our masks behind the till screen or at a distance that is safe to do so. 

This list is not exhaustive and we will adapt as we go and as the guidelines evolve.  If you have any specific questions or requests then please do let us know. Our store is spacious and open plan so there is plenty of room to enjoy your shopping experience.  We look forward to seeing you soon!
