Recommended Hygiene Essentials for Salons

An easy laidback attitude with little or no regard for safety will change as beauty and wellness centres catapult into action – just to survive. By the time the lockdown is fully revoked small parlours would have succumbed to the situation and fallen by the wayside, some would have downsized to half their number and team strength, however, those who have always made safety a priority will have to pull up their boots as adherence to strict rules and safety guidelines will take on a new meaning. In the days to come, stringent measures will be high on the checklist as clients are going to be wary of visiting social places for a long, long time to come.

Melissa Hughe, Technical Head, Schwarzkopf Professional shares, “Now that the lockdown is about to be relaxed in some zones in India, it is important for me to let you know that we are braced and ready to welcome you. All our salon partners have adopted deep cleaning measures and very high hygiene standards to make sure your and their safety remains intact. In addition, all our salon partners will undergo rigorous and regular checkups on their cleanliness and sanitation as per the government guidelines. We look forward to your support and cooperation and assure you that your safety is our priority.” Melissa has created a checklist for the brand’s salon partners that should be paid heed to.
