Access to the Valet during the ‘Stay Alert’ period will be by appointment only. You will only be able to access the shop if you have made an appointment. Our doors will remain closed during the ‘Stay Alert’ period but a video ring bell will be on the front door for you to communicate with our front desk.
We suggest you either call the shop to make a booking over the telephone or use our online booking platform, or iOS App or Android App. Please refrain from turning up at the shop without an appointment.
Note that you will not be able to bring anyone with you to your appointment, unless they have an appointment booked at the same time. We suggest if you are driving to the salon that you remain in your car and call us when you have parked. This way we can call you when your chair is ready.
As of 8th August 2020, customers are required by law to wear a face-covering whilst in the shop and waiting for their appointment. We will obviously need to remove the face covering for beard treatments and possibly for part of a haircut. If you don’t happen to have a face covering when you arrive then we can provide a surgical mask on entry.
We appreciate there are some circumstances where customers may not be able to wear a face covering and if this is the case we’d appreciate you showing your exemption card or similar when you arrive for your appointment.
We will ask that you sanitise your hands on your arrival to the shop and when leaving. Hand sanitizer will be provided on a table when you enter the shop.
All our Barbers will be required to wear a face visor as per the Government COVID safety policy for close contact businesses.
We ask that you maintain a 1-2 metre distance where possible after leaving the Barber chair. Whilst in your barbers chair your barber will refrain from facing you where possible for a period of no longer than 15 minutes. For the majority of the time you are in the chair your barber will be to the side and rear of you, facing forwards and will be wearing PPE for the duration of the service.
Other barber’s chairs will be positioned back-to-back at a safe distance of no less than 1 meter from your chair, where possible to do so. The waiting area is reduced down to two chairs with a distance of 2 metres between them. You will arrive at the shop at Zone A and will leave the shop at Zone B. Our front desk staff will direct you when you’re in the shop.
In the first month of opening, we will not be taking any cash payments. All payments will be via contactless card payment or alternatively you can make a payment with a gift card or by making a deposit through your online account.
In order to minimise traffic at the front desk, we will take your payment from you on arrival to the shop. This way you will be able to leave the shop without spending additional unnecessary time in the shop. Follow up appointments can be booked online or by calling the front desk. Our front desk staff may ask you at the time of taking payment when you arrive if you would like to book your next appointment.
We have extended our appointment times by 10 minutes to allow for changeovers, but are encouraging all customers who think they may need longer than 30 minutes to book a for a re-style appointment as this will give the barber a 50-minute slot to properly manage your appointment. Please note that if we discover on arrival that your hair is so long that it may require a 50-minute slot then we may have to re-schedule your appointment, as we cannot run over with appointments due to the strict access policy in place.
You should always check the text message that we send you the day before your appointment, as the time slot may change by 10 or 20 minutes due to the current logistics we have in place and how we will be managing the diary for the following day. In the event we need to alter your booking on the day of your appointment you will receive a telephone call followed by a text message.
Due to the safety zones guidance, we have had to reduce our service offering and as such all treatments that require close contact or the use of steam and applications of a product with our hands have been disabled for the time being. This is to prevent unnecessary aerosols and water droplets from occurring. This extends to facials, beard conditioning treatments and all hot towel services. We will also not be able to wash your hair during the interim, so please arrive at the salon with your hair washed and free of products. We hope that full services can resume within the coming weeks.

You will still be able to book a beard treatment but this will be limited to a dry cut and shape with scissors and clippers only. You should select Captain Valet for longer beards and the Lumberjack for shorter beards.
Due to strict hygiene measures we have withdrawn hot beverages from our usual offering but will continue to supply cold drinks in disposable containers. Please note it will be your responsibility to safely dispose of the empty bottle or can.

NHS Coronavirus Information & Advice
GOV.UK Coronavirus Information & Advice
Coronavirus causes an illness known as COVID-19, which can affect a person’s lungs and airways.
There are three main symptoms to look out for, according to the NHS. If you show either of these symptoms, you should stay at home. These are:
If you experience either of the symptoms above, the current advice from the NHS is to self-isolate for the next 7 days. If you live with someone who has symptoms but you’ve not yet started to show them, you should self-isolate for 14 days from when the first person started having symptoms. If you develop symptoms in those 14 days then you should stay home for 7 days from the first day of your own symptoms.
Advice develops as we gain a better understanding of the virus. For the most up to date advice on staying at home visit the NHS self-isolation advice page. If you do show symptoms it’s important to protect others. Do not go to your GP, pharmacy or hospital and stay at home. If you feel you cannot cope with your symptoms at home, call 111 for the NHS Coronavirus Service and they will advise what to do next.
