I'm confused, I thought beauty salons were shut (Tier 4)?

[LaurieFairyCake]

I had beauty appointments scheduled for tomorrow

Had a text message on Saturday saying they were now shut til further notice

And then another today saying 'look forward to seeing you tomorrow'

I assumed it was an automated message but I've just gone on the site and there are appointments to book tomorrow

doesn't surprise me at all

and we wonder how this has spread so quick and why lockdowns aren't working

Or maybe they haven't updated their website properly

They've cocked up with their online thing. They can't open.

This is a massive salon with about 10 staff

That did shut and has possibly reopened again - in a busy high street where everyone will see it open - including the police

The online thing can't be cocked up as there's times you can't book/staff you can't book hour to hour so it's definitely booked

They most prob a haven't blocked there calendar. It would of been such a rush and panic after the announcement on Saturday. Also the texts will be automatic.

That just looks like they haven’t updated their booking system. The slots were probably the ones that they’d set up for when they thought they’d be open.

Well no because that's my credit card on there and you can pay to book

As others have said, they probably just haven’t turned the online booking off.

It's a mistake most probably. I booked a massage treatment on the off chance that it was allowed on medical grounds. The booking was accepted and payment taken which was promptly refunded once a human being got involved.

As others have said they probably haven’t updated the website. Therefore you can still book appointments and pay, but they will be closed

They probably haven't updated the website. We hired a restaurant for our wedding reception and someone came in insisting that as they had booked on the website they were entitled to a table. Mistakes happen.
