Let’s talk about salon etiquette: here are the unwritten rules you should follow

There are many wonderful ways one can be pampered but to make it pleasant for both you and the service provider, here are the unwritten rules you should follow.

Unless you’re doing treatments such as waxes, massages, manicures or pedicures, don’t wear makeup and leave the jewellery behind. For a facial, your bare-faced self is all you need to bring, plus sunscreen to apply afterwards. But remember you do need to wear a face mask to gain entry into a beauty spa in compliance with Covid-19 protocols.

Get there 5-10 minutes before your appointment. Arriving early for a treatment is not just about being courteous. Skin treatments generally require you to fill in some paperwork and may even come with a skin assessment – complimentary or billed with the service.
