Our Strands Hairdressing Client Guarantee
- If you are unhappy with all or part of your service, we will redo whatever is needed – completely free of charge – as soon as we possibly can.
- You must contact us within two weeks of your initial appointment to arrange a redo.
- To ensure the best results, we ask that you do not attempt to correct the issue yourself or visit another stylist before allowing us to assess and resolve the problem.
- Please note: if any corrective work is carried out at home or by another stylist before we see your hair, our guarantee will be void.
- If, after the redo, you are still not fully satisfied, we will offer either a second redo or a refund for the initial service.
- To help us maintain consistency and quality, we take before-and-after photos of all colour services and keep these securely in your client record.
- If you purchase a product from us and decide it isn’t right for you, simply return it within two weeks of purchase with proof of purchase, and we will happily exchange it for another product.
Your trust is important to us – and so is your hair. This guarantee is our way of ensuring you always receive the standard of service you deserve.
