- No-shows are charged 50% of the booked service and may require prepayment for future bookings.
4) Late Arrivals
- If you’re late, we’ll do our best within the remaining time. We may shorten or adjust services to avoid delaying other clients. If we cannot proceed, late arrival may be treated as a late cancellation.
5) Pricing & Quotes

- Toners, extra lightener/colour, and treatments are additional unless specified.
- We’ll confirm any price changes before proceeding when practical.
6) Consultations & Patch/Strand Tests
- Consultations are recommended for colour, corrective work, keratin, and extensions.
- Allergy/patch tests may be required 48 hours prior to colour/chemical services. Declining a recommended test is at your own risk and may void redo policies.
7) Results, Aftercare & Corrective Work
- Results can vary due to hair history, condition, previous colours, and home care.
- We’ll provide aftercare advice; using recommended products helps maintain results.
- Corrective colour often requires multiple sessions; we’ll outline realistic timelines and costs.

- If you’re not satisfied, contact us within 5 days for cuts and 7 days for colour.
- We’ll assess and, where reasonable, offer a complimentary adjustment with the same stylist.
- Change-of-mind requests or outcomes inconsistent with agreed consultation are not covered.
9) Refunds (Services & Products)
- For services, refunds are not offered for change of mind. Remedies are provided in line with the ACL for major failures.
- Retail products may be exchanged/refunded if faulty, unsafe, or misdescribed under the ACL. For hygiene reasons, opened products aren’t returnable unless required by law.
10) Hair Extensions & Special Services
- Deposit: 50 % and a signed consultation form are required.
- Warranty/Guarantee: Valid only with recommended aftercare and maintenance visits.
- Shedding/tangling often relates to aftercare or external factors; we’ll assess case-by-case.
