The beauty industry has faced unprecedented challenges over the past months, with close contact treatments restricted to protect public health. Today, we share a hopeful update: close contact treatments will be available again from August 1st. This milestone marks a return to a fuller range of services for clients, while still prioritising safety and covid-secure practices. For our Liverpool salon, this news couldn’t come at a better time, and we’re excited to reopen more of the services you love.
The Timeliness of August 1st: Why this matters
The government’s latest guidelines clear the way for close contact treatments to resume in beauty settings, including threading, facial waxing, brow tinting, and other facial services. This is a significant step for both clients and salons that have been operating with limited offerings. For many clients, these treatments are essential parts of personal care routines, holiday preparations, and confidence-boosting beauty routines. By allowing close contact services again, the industry can rebuild schedules, keep skilled staff employed, and uphold high standards of hygiene and safety.
In our Liverpool location, this means we can restore a comprehensive menu of services while continuing to adhere to covid-secure measures. The emphasis remains on protecting staff and clients through practical precautions, rather than simply returning to pre-pandemic norms without safeguards.
What close contact treatments will be available from August 1st?
From August 1st, the following face-focused services are expected to be accessible again:
- Facial treatments and skin peels
- Crystal clear microdermabrasion
- Eyelash treatments, including classic lashes and Volume Lashes
- Eyebrow threading
- Make-up application
- Dermarolling
- Dermaplaning
- Microblading and eyebrow treatments
These treatments involve close proximity between client and practitioner and are among the most affected by the earlier restrictions. With the updated guidelines, we can reinstate these services, ensuring appointments can proceed with appropriate safety measures in place.
Safety first: how we’re staying covid-secure
Despite the return of close contact treatments, our priority is ongoing covid-safety. In line with government guidance and best practice, we’re implementing a comprehensive set of measures:
- Staff wearing face shields or appropriate PPE during treatments
- Clients wearing face coverings whenever their treatment permits
- Rigorous sanitisation protocols between clients, including tool sterilisation and surface cleaning
- Appointment scheduling that reduces overlap and allows for thorough cleaning
- Temperature checks or health-screen questions as part of our intake process
- Clear signage and guidance on hygiene, including hand sanitisation on arrival
We understand that some clients may have concerns about reopening. Our approach is transparency: we’ll communicate exactly what to expect before your visit and encourage questions to ensure you feel safe and comfortable.
What this means for our Liverpool clients
For residents of Liverpool and nearby areas, the August 1st update is especially welcome. Not only does it restore access to popular facial and brow services, but it also supports a longer-term recovery for local beauty businesses, including steady employment for therapists who dedicated themselves to upholding safety standards.
From July 13th, our salon opened with restrictions in place to align with the then-current guidance. Now, with the enhanced guidelines, we can offer a broader range of close contact treatments. If you’ve been waiting to schedule threading, brow tinting, or facial waxing, your opportunity to book is right around the corner.
How to book and what to expect
- Booking: Contact our Liverpool salon by phone or via social media to secure your appointment from August 1st onward. If you’re local to Maghull, you can also reach our nearby Maghull beauty salon at the same trusted facility.
- What to bring: A face covering when your treatment allows, plus any skincare products you wish to discuss with your therapist.
- Consultation: We’ll conduct a brief pre-treatment consultation to confirm safety measures and ensure the service is appropriate for your skin type and concerns.
- Aftercare: Expect tailored aftercare advice to help you maintain results while continuing to protect yourself and others.
Customer experiences and community reassurance
Seeing a salon reopen its full menu is not just about convenience; it’s about restoring a sense of normalcy and community connection. Our clients have expressed appreciation for the care teams have shown in maintaining a safe environment, and we are committed to continuing that standard. By following the covid-safe guidelines, clients can feel confident that their beauty routines can resume without compromising health.
We also encourage clients to stay engaged with us through our social profiles. Our team will post updates, new treatment offerings, and any adjustments to safety protocols as the situation evolves. This ongoing communication helps everyone stay informed and prepared for each visit.
The August 1st milestone for close contact treatments signals much more than a change in service availability. It represents resilience, adaptability, and a renewed commitment to client care within safe parameters. For our Liverpool beauty salon, this development means we can reintroduce popular treatments such as threading, facial waxing, brow tinting, and a wide range of facial services, while maintaining strict health and safety standards.
As we move forward, our focus remains on delivering high-quality beauty care in a safe environment. We’re grateful for the support of our clients and the wider community, and we’ll continue to monitor guidelines and adjust practices as needed. If you’re planning to refresh your look, now is a great time to book an appointment and experience the full spectrum of close contact treatments that will be available from August 1st.
