When will Sally’s re-open again?
The UK Government has categorised hairdressers as a personal care business and therefore, based on their recent announcement (see Page 31, Step Three) it’s unlikely I will be given the green light to reopen before the 4th July.
I know it is really difficult to remain patient waiting for your child’s haircut and also for the children who have special needs who find haircuts very challenging, but I do need to follow the Government’s guidelines. I have outlined below some practices that will be implemented for social distancing and hygiene once I am in a position to reopen again.
The health and safety of my customers is paramount at all times. In order to fully implement the guidelines during the Stay Alert period, I have made certain adjustments to my service. These will only be in place until it is safe to no longer require them and once confidence levels have resumed.
It’s going to be different for a while for all of us.
Sally
The precautions will include;
- All clients will receive hand sanitation on entry and exit of the salon.
- I will be wearing a face mask and if possible clients should wear a face covering, although this will be extremely difficult for children under two years of age
- Towels and gowns will be washed on a high temperature and changed throughout the day
- Regular and thorough cleaning of the salon with an anti-bacterial spray
- Cutting stations and chairs to be cleaned with anti-bacterial spray after each changeover
- All equipment will be sanitised on each client changeover
- Services will be carried out strictly by appointment only, no walk-ins accepted
- There is a seated area by the window where two people can sit or, if preferred, seating will be available outside
- Only one parent or carer to accompany the child or children coming for the haircut(s)
- If you need to bring a sibling due to unavailability of child care, this will be acceptable
- The duration of haircuts will not change (20 or 40 minutes)
- Appointment slots will now be multiples of 30 minutes, allowing me time to clean stations and equipment ready for the next client.

Sally is fantastic with our kiddo. Always calm and never in a rush. Taking her time to make sure the cut is good but the child is happy too.

I decided to visit Sally’s salon for my 14 month old to get his first haircut today based on her great reviews. I was so glad I did as she made the experience as comfortable as can be for my son. It also helped that there were a variety of toys and even a TV to help as a distraction. Her booking system is easy to use and email reminders are really helpful. Thanks again Sally.

Sally has cut my kids hair for 3 years now, since we discovered her via a recommendation from a friend. We didn't know it at the time, but my son has autism, and would previously never let anyone near his hair without a public meltdown. Sally's calm, kind, and gentle manner, along with the child-friendly relaxing atmosphere (plus TV!) meant that we said goodbye to haircut meltdowns. Since discovering her we have not looked back, and Sally has cut my daughter's hair ever since her first haircut. We have recently moved out of London and we will be very sad to leave Sally. She is a gem, a total pro, and a thoroughly great hairdresser. Thoroughly recommend!

I went today to get my 2 year old daughters hair cut after hearing great things about Sally's and I was not disappointed. My daughter was fussing a little bit at first and was fidgeting quite a lot, Sally was very patient and friendly, and she helped my daughter feel as relaxed as possible. All in all my visit was excellent and I would highly recommend. Plus the price was very reasonable. I will be returning for sure!

Sally was absolutely great with our 1 year old daughter when we went to get her first hair cut today. She was extremely patient with our little one while she was fidgeting and fussing and even trying to pull her glasses off. Thank you so much Sally :)

Took my 11 months old daughter for her first hair cut and i was extremely worried about her crying but Sally handled my daughter really well and the session ended without a single tear or scream. Sally is highly qualified for the role and would recommend her to everyone. Bonus, she gave me tips on how i can take care of my daughter’s hair.

I decided to take my 18 month old to get his first haircut at Sally’s after reading all the great reviews. She did not disappoint! Sally did a brilliant job on my little boy who does have a lot of hair. She was very patient and attentive and gave him exactly what I had asked for. The whole experience was wonderful and I will definitely be coming back! Thank you Sally for making me a very happy mummy :)

What a tremendous hairdresser Sally is!I visited for my (extremely shy) daughter's first haircut. The little cherub screamed and screamed but Sally has the patience of a saint and somehow managed to not only get her to stop crying by the end, give a high five BUT ALSO performed a really excellent, skilled, neat hair cut.Make no mistake, Sally is an expert at cutting young people's hair. She clearly loves children and understands them. I highly recommend!

Perfect for baby's haircut, extremely patient mentally prepared to tolerate a desperately screaming 1year old.She is so patient and really enjoys children, fully equipped with children gear (toys, books, cartoons, right size chairs,...).Our little one grew out of his fears over time and is now a contented toddler going for a haircut (while watching paw patrol) :-)

Sally was lovely, patient and calm. My son was terrified to start with but she put on some paw patrol and it worked a treat. Haircut was done in 15minutes. Thank you Sally! So happy I found you. X

She is incredible! She managed to do the haircut of my son who hates any manipulations with his hair! Very patient, brave, professional. Haircut went very smoothly! And the outcome of it deserves to be on the magazine’s cover. Thank you Sally!I highly recommend this place and 5 stars are not enough. Will come back 1000%.

Very happy with the cut. I didn't think my son would sit still enough for a hair cut but he did! Sally is awesome, a great hairdresser especially talented at cutting a moving object aka a toddler !

Sally is very gentle with children and parents. Nothing seems to rattle her. She gives amazing haircuts that go with child's particular hair type, their face and last for long time. We are very lucky to have found you, Sally!

Great experience for our daughter’s first haircut, the toys in the waiting area kept her entertained and then Peppa Pig on the TV and Sally’s calming nature and efficiency meant we were done with no tears or tantrums. The certificate at the end was a lovely momento. We will be back, worth the price.

I took my little one, aged 15 months, for a first haircut at Sally’s this afternoon! Really pleased with the experience (all very calm!) and was delighted to have a “ first hair cut” certificate with a lock of hair as a keepsake. We will be back - thank you Sally.

Took my nearly 4 year old to Sally today and will certainly be back! It was her first haircut and my little one was put at ease with the toys and of course being able to watch peppa pig while having her hair done was a massive bonus! My daughter has fine, crazy curly hair but Sally cut it lovely. Sally also gave my daughter certificate and a little bag of curls as a keep sake :-)

Very small salon on Northcote Road for the little ones. Sally is really very good with the kids, and she also does lovely hair cuts. I like that it's a no nonsense kids salon, but has toys and a telly to keep kids engaged.

Discovered Sally about 18 years ago in another shop and wouldn't go anywhere else for children's hair cuts.Takes stroppy older children, grumpy little 4 year olds and crying 2 year olds in her stride and cuts their hair just as asked every time.Very Happy

We are very, very glad we found Sally. Before her our son wouldn't stop crying while cutting his hair. But sally had the patience and experience to make him at least bearing it, even he is starting to like it. The shop is small but it has all the amenities, TV with Apple TV, toys books.... There is always space for parking near the shop. Price is similar to other children hairdressers but is money well spent.

It's obvious that Sally has been cutting children's hair for many years. Her calm, relaxed manner and the friendly shop environment always puts our children (7 and 9) at total ease. Her prices are reasonable considering the location and the styling is of a good quality. I only wish I lived a bit nearer so I could be a regular rather than an occasional treat.
