Cancellation Policy

Unexpected events can often cause disruption to the best laid plans for anyone. While we do understand this, we are running a business based upon the fact that when you make a booking with Your Hair Coach it constitutes an agreement for us to provide a service to you on the date, and at the time selected, and for you to be there at the allotted time. If either Your Hair Coach or you the client, need to cancel, both parties will give 24hrs notice if they are unable to keep the appointment. Your Hair Coach will make every effort to reschedule the appointment for as soon as is possible. If the cancellation, or notice given is under 24hrs, we reserve the right to retain 50% of the service cost, if we are unable to fill the allotted appointment successfully.

We often have clients waitlisted for appointments so we do require 24hrs or more notice in order to fill the cancelled appointment time.

Clients will receive an email 1 week prior to their appointment, as well as a confirmation text message 48 hours before their actual appointment. Clients are able to respond and confirm the appointment by either responding to the email or the text message. This allows enough time to confirm their appointment up to 24 hours prior. If a client fails to arrive for their allocated appointment and has not cancelled before the 24 hour notice period required, has cancelled on the day or has been a no show we will require a $50 booking fee for their next hair colour appointment or $30 booking fee for their next haircut appointment.

Only by discretion will this fee be waived for a client.

Chemical Services Policy

We are committed to providing the best possible service to all our clients. Our staff are trained and will offer the appropriate recommendations and professional advice, during your consultation.

  1. All new clients receive a full consultation and are always given a skin allergy test to complete 48 hours before a chemical service is performed. If there has been a reaction to the skin allergy test.
  2. The chemical service should not be performed, and the client is made aware that if they choose to have the chemical service, Your Hair Coach Ltd and all staff will not be held responsible or liable if there is a reaction after service has been performed.
  3. Your Hair Coach Ltd reserves the right to refuse a service to any individual that in our professional opinion, isn’t a suitable candidate for said service.
  4. We only offer a full guarantee for any colour/chemical service if the client has chosen to follow our prescribed home care. We offer this guarantee as a gesture of our true belief in the Organic Colour System. (If a client has not followed our recommendations, choosing to use other home care products we cannot apply our guarantee to their colour or chemical service.)

Skin Sensitivity Testing

The hairdressing industry is evolving and we need to be responsible for our clients more so now. New regulations and manufacturer’s instructions recommend a patch test before every colour service in the salon. We require every new client to have a skin patch test performed 48 hours prior to any colour appointment. These tests are recorded on your client record and any reactions are reported to the manufacturer immediately.

We do this for you.

What we are testing for is any reaction to ingredients in our colour range. This can be from the base of the of the colour (soy) or the actual Pigment in the colour (PPD or Para-phenylenediamine. We use the lowest levels of PPD possible in colour, averaging 0.29%) as well as any other listed ingredient in the colour.

This test can be done by your stylist or if you prefer you can take it home and apply it yourself.

*NOTE: A reaction is defined as; redness, soreness, irritation, or itching, any time from when the colour is applied on the skin, and anytime over the next 48 hours. If a reaction, a sensitivity occurs, rinse immediately. If irritation persists we suggest you seek medical advice.
