2 Geezas Barber Shop

Its au revoir for now…

Dear Friends,

We hope this message finds you in good health and spirits. It is with heavy hearts that we write to inform you about a difficult decision we've had to make.

After many years of shared laughter, countless haircuts, and unforgettable moments, our beloved barber shop has now closed its doors for good.

Words cannot express how grateful we are to each and every one of you for being an integral part of our journey. Your unwavering support, camaraderie, and trust have made our time here truly special. The bonds we've formed with you go beyond just being customers; you've become like family to us.

As barbers, we've taken immense pride in our craft, striving to provide top-notch service and creating a welcoming environment for all. Your smiles and satisfied faces have been the greatest reward we could ever ask for.

Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, we have to say goodbye. This decision has not been easy, and we want you to know that we explored all possible options before arriving at this conclusion.

Pete has decided to try his hand at something new as well as spend more time with his family and his amazing grandaughter.

Salv will be continuing at a new location. If you have been a client of his in the past 24 months or so be sure to check your inbox in the coming days for an update from him.

As we prepare to close this chapter, we want to take this opportunity to thank each of you from the bottom of our hearts. Your loyalty, friendship, and the memories we've made together will forever be cherished.

Thank you for everything, dear friends. It has been an incredible journey, and we'll always carry the memories of our time together.

With heartfelt gratitude and warmest regards,

Salv and Pete

This is going to be a long old read folks but please take your time and read through....


In order to have a viable opening of the salon and to ensure the well being of our clients and team members we will be implementing the following measures, effective immediately.

Summary of main points

All sessions are by strict scheduling only during the COVID 19 restrictions.

All discounts on pricing to be withdrawn

All customers are kindly requested to arrive no earlier or later than 5 minutes prior to their appointment. If your practitioner is running late you will be contacted so please be sure you have all your contact details up to date when booking.

There will be no more than one customer at any one time waiting outside the salon for a short time until instructed to enter by a member of staff.

There will be an increase in pricing on our services

Entering the Salon:

Customers are to wait to be asked to come in before entering the salon.

It will be mandatory to use the hand sanitiser provided on entry into the salon.

All customers will be required to maintain the safe recommended social distancing as required under government guidelines until the customer is seated in the waiting areas. Mitigation in the form of a mask may be required if the customer is not seated straight away.

Customers must come alone for their appointment, no wives, girlfriends, mates, bloke they met in the pub etc. The only exception to this will be when bringing small children for their haircut and a member of your household may be required for assistance. The whole household must maintain social distance from other customers in the shop.

Before the start of the haircut you will be asked to fill in a Track and Trace form with your name, telephone number and time of arrival. This must be kept securely by ourselves for 21 days and will then be destroyed. In the event of a positive case of covid-19 having been found to be present in the premises at the same time as you have indicated on the form you may be contacted by the governments Track and Trace team.


Staff Performing Their Duties

All staff to be fully compliant with PPE while performing their duties.

Staff to sanitise hands before and after each customer

Any persons who need to cough/sneeze will have to leave the premises temporarily regardless of the state of their haircut and upon returning, re-sanitise and return to their seat following social distancing rules.

Chairs are adequately spaced following social and professional distancing and mitigation had been put in place where 2 metres is not possible following the 1m+ rule.
All equipment and chairs will be sanitised and cleaned between every customer.


Bookings

As we will now only be working at a 60% capacity due to extra time needed for cleaning and having to stagger entry times due to social distancing, we have had to implement some restrictions on our appointments.

Appointments online can now only be made a maximum of seven days in advance.

Only one appointment can be booked at a time. If you are unsure of when you can make it in wait till you know as all multiple bookings will be cancelled.

If you are coming as a family please call and we will make your appointments for you, do not book more than one appointment.

You can now cancel an appointment online up to 2 hours before your time.

ANY NO SHOWS WILL NOW BE CHARGED FULL PRICE PAYABLE BEFORE THEIR NEXT HAIRCUT.



All other Things…Still Important

There is to be a price increase. Its now been 6 years since our last price increase and along with the loss of revenue we project we will have for the next year we have had to unfortunately increase our prices. There will be a standard £1 discount for children under 12 as well a further discretionary discount for senior citizens based on needs of the customer.

For the foreseeable there will be NO beard trimming and shaving available as a service. This has been outlined in the guidance provided by government and will also allow as the time to do more haircut appointments and catch up with our 4-month long backlog.

There is to be NO Va**ng in the shop, obviously.

The end of the “Mates Rate”. If you once knew a guy who knew a guy that changed my cousins tyre at a distant relatives wedding and have enjoyed a small discount on your haircut we are sorry but this will no longer be the case. With rising costs as well the current restrictions we have on inventory we are now going to have bring all prices into line.

Conversation levels must be kept to low but audible level. It has been advised in the guidelines that the louder someone talks, the more likely to increase viral exposure

Hope that wasn't too draining reading through that lot.

We will next contact you once our booking system has bee opened up, currently scheduled for lunchtime Wednesday.

Take care folks!!

Somebody is having a birthday today.....

Thinking of putting one these in the shop...opinions?
