Covid Update as of 3rd December 2021
It’s a challenging time for us all and we are trying our best to be a step ahead of things, keep calm as well as manage life as usual.
Bijonei has decided to operate under the traffic light system as stated by the New Zealand Government, so by law, all staff, contractors, members and guests over the age of 12 need to be vaccinated when visiting our salon.
We are pro-choice and understand that vaccination is a personal decision. However, we regard the health and safety of our Bijonei community as being of paramount importance, therefore we believe operating under this traffic light system is our best chance at keeping our Bijonei community safe.
Furthermore it gives our Guests certainty that Bijonei will continue to remain open, regardless of possible changes that may happen from time to time as we move forward in the future, living with Covid.
