Please read ALL Safety Policies & Salon Procedures carefully
PHD Hairdressing Salon desires to create a safe, clean and relaxing environment for our guests, therefore specific policies and procedures need to be implemented that are non-negotiable, so that we as well as our guests can be assured of a safe environment, while being treated fairly and respectfully.
All policies and procedures are established at the discretion of PHD Hairdressing’s management and subject to change without notice. Our salon reserves the right to refuse service to anyone who does not adhere to our Safety Policies and or Salon Procedures. Please see policies and procedures below.
Arrival Time
Please arrive on time for your appointment. If you arrive late we cannot guarantee the full length of your service. Although we will take every measure possible to still accommodate you timeously, you might be required to wait to be attended to if other guests of PHD arrive on time for their appointments. Clients that are on time are priority.
Appointments
PHD Hairdressing is not a “walk-in” salon and operate off of booked appointments. This does not mean that you will never get a same day appointment, but we strongly encourage you to schedule your next appointment with our reception when you check out to avoid disappointment.
For those who need weekend appointments, we strongly encourage you to book at least a week in advance.
Cancellation of Appointments Policy
We ask that all appointments made to please be honoured. Do not schedule appointments that you cannot keep as this comes at a great loss to our stylists who are not able to fill that slot at short notice. All cancellations must be made a minimum of 24 hours before your scheduled appointment. We do realize that circumstances arise beyond our control sometimes and can intrude on previously made plans. For that reason, it is PHD’s policy to give each guest a “second chance” the first time an appointment is cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice. However, the second time a client cancels with less than 24 hours’ notice or is a “No Call No Show”; we will charge a “Late Cancellation Fee” for the appointment at a charge no less than 20% of the service booked for the appointment and will be added in addition to your next service visit.
Strict Terms of Payment
All services provided as well as products sold are done on a COD basis only, which requires you as our guest to pay in full on completion. PHD management does not allow for any accounts or terms of payment.
New customers of PHD can be requested to pay a 40% booking deposit before any extensive colour or chemical service is performed and will be requested to settle the balance on arrival once a consultation has been perfromed and a quote done for the service at the discretion of management and will depend on the service purchased. The Management of PHD retains the right to cancel any scheduled appointment if above payment terms are not met. We accept Visa, MasterCard and or cash payments.
Gratuities
Our prices do not reflect any gratuities, so for those who wish to show appreciation, the industry average is 10%-15% of the service and unfortunately can only be paid in cash. We cannot accept gratuities added onto your card payment.
Refund Policy on retail products.
Only unused and unopened merchandise / products may be returned within 7 days of purchase; for full refund or exchange, or in exchange for in salon credit only.
Client Information
It is important that client records are kept and updated with current and accurate information. Your information is used to communicate necessary information to you such as appointment reminders as well as keep the history of your hair on record. We will also use your information in an emergency situation to contact a next of kin. You will occasionally receive promotions on whatsapp and may choose to be excluded. Your account is created when you book your first appointment. All client information and service procedures are confidential and/or private.
Consultation
All clients will be consulted before a service is performed and informed of the condition, quality, any disorders and/or damage found in their hair or scalp (if any), in addition to any hair care regimens the stylist recommends. PHD as a whole or in part, will not be responsible or liable if you choose not to adhere to these recommendations or acknowledge the analysis and condition of your hair and scalp. We will not be held responsible or liable when clients choose to use products or have hair services rendered outside of our salon. PHD uses only the most professional products to promote healthy hair. In order for us to guarantee our work, we do not use or encourage clients to bring their own products for services, other than prescription products that have been prescribed by a medical practitioner. Any other products will only be used at the Management’s discretion.
Children
Due to the nature of our business, we only accept children as clients provided they are over the age of 5 years and well behaved. With our limited space and the use of chemicals, hot irons and sharp scissors, we do not want any accidents to happen especially to the little ones. Additionally, we are committed to providing a relaxing, stress-free atmosphere for all of our guests, and we do not offer child care services. If you must bring your children with you for your appointment, they must be well behaved and stay seated in the waiting area.
Friends and Family
We know that you love to have company sometimes at the hair salon; however with space being limited we like to keep space for other guests having services rendered. Your family and friends are welcome to be seated in the waiting area (please see COVID protocols above for guests).
Correction Policy
We want our clients to be happy and satisfied with their services. If you are ever dissatisfied with any service in the salon we will gladly make the corrections necessary to exceed your expectations within 7 days of the original service. If you are unhappy with your service, please let us know within the 7 day period so we can make it right! Our primary objective is to ensure each service and visit meets your satisfaction.
