All metal implements are autoclaved to hospital standards, disposables are used wherever possible, hand washing and wearing of gloves and a mask (where applicable), cleaning and disinfecting all equipment and surfaces after every client, new or disposable towels for every client. I have allocated additional time between clients to allow for disinfecting. If you arrive early, please take a seat on the bench outside and I will let you know as soon as I am ready for you.
