POLICIES

 

Deposits for clients for big colour appointments:
We require a $100 deposit on all colour appointments over 2 hours and 24 hours notice if you need to cancel. Please call our salon coordinator to pay your deposit or etransfer $100 to info@thenaturalhairsalon.com. You can also pay your deposit online here, copy and paste this link: https://thenaturalhairsalon.com/products/deposit.

Your deposit will be safely held in your account and applied to your final bill. If you are unable to make your appointment, please contact us with at least 24 hours notice, so we can maintain our stylist’s schedule and valuable time.

No show or late cancel:

We maintain a 24-notice cancellation policy, and no-shows will be subject to a fee of 50% of the scheduled service. This is to ensure appropriate use of practitioner time and resources.

Late for your appointment? 

The time you have reserved with us is valuable. We ask that you arrive on time. In the event you are 15 minutes or more late, you will be charged the full amount for the services you booked whether or not we were able to provide that service. Your stylist may not be able to achieve all that you planned because you were late, so please do your best to arrive in a timely manner.

Dress appropriately

We are not responsible for any damage to clothing that may occur during an appointment at our salon. While we have systems in place to minimize any bleach or colour that may get onto clothing, this is hair salon and the risk is there. Please dress for your appointment or ask for a robe to cover clothing.

No refunds on services
We want you to love your hair. Please contact us in a timely manner so we can do our best to come up with a solution if that’s not the case. If a redo is determined necessary by management, it must be within the first two weeks of the initial service. Redos or touch ups are done with the original stylist, exceptions to this rule are possible and are at managements discretion. No refunds issued.
