This Health and Safety Policy outlines the steps we take to ensure the well-being of all, including hygiene practices, sanitation procedures, and safety protocols.
1. Cleanliness and Hygiene
We adhere to strict hygiene standards to maintain a clean and safe environment. Our protocols include:

2. Safe Use of Equipment and Tools
We ensure that all equipment and tools used in our treatments meet health and safety standards:

3. Client Health and Safety
Your health and safety are our primary concerns, and we take the following precautions to ensure a safe experience:

- COVID-19 Protocols: In response to ongoing health concerns, we follow local guidelines regarding COVID-19 precautions, including social distancing, mask-wearing, and enhanced sanitation procedures.
- Sick Policy: We kindly ask clients who are feeling unwell or have symptoms of illness to reschedule their appointments. Similarly, any staff member showing symptoms of illness will not be allowed to work.
