Terms & Conditions

Reservation Policy

We kindly ask that you pay a reservation fee on making an appointment. We understand that things change. In the event you need to move your appointment, please give us at least 24hours notice and we will happily transfer your fee to another booking. Should your notice be within 24 hours, we will, with all good faith, endeavour to sell the empty appointment.  Should we be able to sell the appointment, we will happily transfer your reservation fee to another appointment.  Reservation fees are £25 for a Cut & Finish and £50 for chemical services. 

Customer Complaints Policy

Our priority is for you to be completely satisfied with the service you receive from us. We run a professional business, so we aim for the highest standards in everything we do. Complaints are rare, but we take them seriously, so we have a complaints policy and process we follow to make sure things are put right where needed and we learn from your feedback.

PROCESS

Tell someone you’re not happy with the service you’ve received, either while you’re in the salon or as soon as possible after leaving. Calmly and clearly explain the problem. We will listen to your feedback and ask questions as necessary to understand why you are making a complaint. We aim to resolve all complaints within eight weeks. If you have already left the salon, don’t go to another salon as we have the right to see exactly what the service or treatment you received from us looks like. We will arrange a suitable time for you to come back into our salon and discuss your complaint in private. Where we think your complaint is reasonable, we will redo a part or all of the service or treatment again as soon as possible, free of charge. The work can be done by a different stylist, in another salon if you prefer, although this may not be possible if the individual is self-employed. If we can’t fix the problem, we may offer a partial or full refund depending on how reasonable we consider your complaint to be.

ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION

If, after following our complaints policy, we still can’t agree on how to resolve the complaint to your satisfaction, as required by the Alternative Dispute Resolution for Consumer Disputes Regulations 2015, we will refer you to a certified alternative dispute resolution provider, Hair & Beauty Mediation. As mediators, they listen to both sides and help us work towards a fair and reasonable compromise which is acceptable to both parties. It is not legally binding unless both parties agree on an outcome, but it is a cheaper and quicker alternative than taking legal action.

Please note there is a charge of £12 including VAT for the client and £30 including VAT for the salon.
