Covid payment

Current covid payment is misleading. Online it states you pay covid deposit and it takes £5 off your total bill when you go to salon. Turns out it doesn’t and the treatment just costs £5 more instead. Poor advertisement

Thank you for your feedback.
I am sorry that there has been a misunderstanding with our COVID secure charge.
We have it clearly stated when you open our online booking system in our ‘Important Notice’ box that the £5 Covid secure charge is in addition to your treatment cost . It also says this again when you pay and it should also be on your confirmation email. It is also clear on our website on our COVID secure page. This link would have been text to you the day before your appointment if you received a booking reminder.
If you did not see any of these notices please get in touch and we will see if there is a technically problem at our end.
Thank you for brining this to my attention

It was great to have my nails sparkle and shine again with Andrea today after all this time. Andrea and the staff at Castle Bromwich were very professional as usual and made me feel very welcome and safe with the COVID procedures that have been put in place. Having been a regular for many years I was however a little concerned with the extra COVID safe charge that customers will now have to pay in addition of their treatment charge for every visit. This extra charge may mean I will have to reduce the frequency of my appointments at the salon. I do understand why this is being charged but feel it is too much for every visit when other salons are not doing this.

Thank you for your review Nicola. We appreciate our clients so much.
The COVID charge is a difficult but essential business decision that I have had to make. I felt this was more transparent then putting up all of our prices. I will, of course, remove the charge once the many Covid secure restrictions that we are instructed to follow no longer have to be in place.
I appreciate your feedback and look forward to seeing you soon.

I was very impressed with the treatment I had at Essentials today. I was filled with confidence before arriving after receiving an email and txt regarding safety and providing a safety video so I knew exactly what to expect. They have implemented lots of safety precautions but I still felt the personal touch. The experience was as lovely as before and I was happy to be able to safely get a spray tan. Laura was friendly as always and made me comfortable and was a wonderful beautician as always. I will definitely be returning and I've left feeling much better about myself and feel I have had a spray tan safely.
