Booking update A HUGE thank you once again for your patience as we work through the enormous volume of requests for appointments. We wanted to provide you with an update on where we’re at now and what’s happening next. Last week, we created a new rota system for the team. Working in line with social distancing, spacing and how many people can safely be in the salon, we now have a view of who will be working, and when. If you had an appointment between 13th and 30th July, it will still stand and there is no need to contact us. We will contact you to confirm your appointment, subject to us being able to open as planned on Monday 13th July. We are now able to move into the next phase, which is contacting every client who had an appointment during lockdown, or who is on our waiting list. We ask that you please continue to be patient and know that we are working as fast as we can to process the unprecedented volume of requests we have received. We are SO grateful for your patience and loyalty, and can’t wait to welcome you back into the salon, safely, as soon as we can.

Wow! We were ecstatic to hear from so many of you this weekend – hundreds of clients have been in touch and we cannot wait to get our hands on your hair soon! �As a reminder, on Friday the Welsh Government confirmed that salons can start preparing to reopen, with a provisional opening date of Monday 13th July. The Welsh First Minister, Mark Drakeford, said: “Hairdressers should use the next three weeks to make preparations to resume services by appointment-only with all the necessary safeguarding in place.”⁠ With that in mind, we would ask you to please continue to be patient (thank you!) while we prepare the salon for a safe reopening for both you, our loyal and lovely clients, and for our fantastic team. We are still awaiting specific guidelines from the Government, but here are the next steps we are now taking: Week of 22nd June 1️⃣ Deep clean and sterilisation of entire salon including water systems and air vents, implementation of social distancing and safety measures 2️⃣ Confirm rotas, prepare for the front of house team to return and process requests. Week of 29nd June 3️⃣ Front of house team to contact waiting list and confirm and rearrange appointments. Please rest assured that we are working as hard as we can to arrange rotas and teams to see you all as soon as we can. We are also looking to implement late-night opening, seven days a week, to ensure that we can manage as many clients as possible while still maintaining social distancing and safety measures. Thank you again for your incredible loyalty and patience - we can’t wait to see you soon!

Please know that we are working as hard as we can with the limited information we currently have to create updated rotas and opening hours, in order to see you all as soon as we can. Since today’s update, we have received an unprecedented amount of calls and emails. As soon as we have rotas and procedures in place, we will call you directly to arrange your appointment. We are SO grateful to you all for your loyalty and eagerness to get booked in again soon, but ask that you please bear with us as we work through all of your requests. Once we have more clarity from the Government on reopening, we will contact everyone that has been in touch to confirm your appointments and answer your questions. As a reminder, everyone who has made an appointment from 13th July onwards will be automatically added to the list and will be called to confirm or rearrange their appointment if needed. ⁠ If you would like to be added to the waiting list, please email pr@kenpicton.com with your name and what service you require. ⁠Please note, this is a NO REPLY email. ⁠ ⁠ We will then automatically add you to the list and will call you when we have clarity on opening times and rotas to make your appointment. ⁠ ⁠ Our Online Booking Service has temporarily been suspended – please only use the email above. ⁠ Each and every email, call and comment is appreciated and we cannot wait to see you all again very soon.

As we continue to prepare for an eventual safe salon reopening, team KP wanted to let you know about the training we've been undertaking to ensure we're ready. The entire salon team have undertaken and passed the L'Oréal Professionnel Access Hygiene and Safety E-learning course, receiving certification that we have all completed it 📝 The course provided guidelines on salon, client and personal hygiene, to ensure that we - and you - are confident in getting back to the salon safely 🧼 On top of this, L’Oréal donated £1 to hairdressing industry charities (Hair and Beauty Charity and Look Good Feel Better Ireland) for every completed session, up to the first 10,000 🥰 We are proud to have taken this time to get certified, and look forward to welcoming you back safely as soon as we are able to do so 👋

One brilliant before and after from Nia, who took this client from one-length super-heavy hair, to this! She took 5" off the length and added some gorgeous long layers for a gorgeous, bouncy finish ⁠ ⁠ #kploves #kenpicton #kenpictonsalon @kenpictonsalon #bouncyhair #warmhaircolour #goldenhour
