OUR NEW APPROACH TO COVID-19 FROM THE 19th
Although many things are no longer compulsory you will still find our team wearing a mask and all our chairs socially distant, our cleaning routines will still be in place. Whilst guests need not wear a mask we will always have masks available for you during your visit if you still wish to wear one as now is not the time for complacency and it's about doing the right thing and respecting others. So rest assured the team at dottylines will always endeavour to do their best.
Luckily at dottylines we have a large and spacious salon that will enable us to keep our safety measures in place for the foreseeable future without impacting on our passion and commitment to beautiful hairdressing and fabulous service which is at the core of what we're about. So if you are yet to revisit us please give us a call.
AN IMPORTANT UPDATE FROM DOTTYLINES
Here are a few safety measures that we’ve put in place for when you next visit:
We trust you, however we are asking if you are showing symptoms or suspect that you may have been in contact with an infected person that you reschedule your appointment to a later date
We have to limit the amount of people we have in the salon at any one time to a minimum which is why we ask if possible to visit us on your own
If you are bringing children for their appointment they must be supervised at all times and maintain social distancing
We have a 2 metre distance between each styling station and you will be allocated a chair for the duration of your visit but we ask you to respect the personal space of others
Wearing a face covering is essential and we do have them available if you have forgotten one and all stylists will be wearing visors and masks as per guidelines
We ask you turn up 5 minutes before your appointment so we are able to start your service on time, although we do apologise if we are running late
Unfortunately we are not able to offer magazines at this time so we invite you to bring along a good book, a glossy magazine or a tablet and take advantage of our complimentary Wifi
All styling stations will be fully sanitised after each use and they have been fully equipped with sanitiser and tissues for your use
A safe charge of £2 will be applied to all visits to ensure the salon can receive the same standard of care and consideration that you deserve
All we wish to do is to reassure all our guests that your and our teams’ well-being is always our top priority. We look forward to seeing you.
LOCKDOWN STORIES … MICHAEL
Over the years I like most other people have wished to have more free time. But prior to the first lockdown it has only ever happened following an incident of some kind. Six months, when I had a badly broken leg, then eighteen months and another six months following various operations on my leg. Therefore I had limited mobility and was unable to do anything anyway.
Then the first lockdown came, fifteen weeks of what seemed endless sunshine. Which to be honest I really enjoyed and which I felt extremely guilty about. I was enjoying myself in the sunshine whilst so many were struggling or worse, dying. A feeling that has never really left me.
But the downside was there was nowhere to go or nothing to do. Luckily I have a garden and enjoy spending time in it (see pic). As time went on my frustration grew as I felt the need to be back at work.
Following the end of the first lockdown my frustration and anger grew with the apparent disregard many businesses had to the new rules and also the lack of interest the authorities had towards enforcing them. Then when the tier system came along all I could see was ‘let’s punish the highstreets’ rather than ensuring we all behaved within the rules.
So, with the arrival of the second and third lockdowns I was quite grumpy and worst of all the weather was terrible. Well it was winter. That meant I had no garden to save me. Reading books and watching great old movies has been my steady diet but my sole highlight has been watching PNE, and that has been rubbish too.
How often have we said to ourselves ‘how boring our lives are’? But it is that normality I now crave. Wandering down to the pub to watch football, or popping round to see someone and ordering eggs benedict at my favourite café on a Sunday morning. Simply, just being able to do those everyday activities once again is going to be great.
What do you miss most that you once thought of as being an everyday event?
