House rules

A few things that keep the chairs moving and fair for everyone.

Cancellations
Can't make it? Cancel or move your booking at least 4 hours before, so someone else can have the slot.
Running late
We'll hold your slot for 10 minutes. After that we may need to shorten your service or move you to the next free chair.
No-shows
Two missed bookings without notice and we'll ask for a deposit next time you book online.
Kids
Under-16s need a parent or guardian with them for the whole cut.
Prices
Prices are a guide. Very long or thick hair may cost a little more; we'll always tell you before we start.
Feeling unwell?
Please rebook if you're poorly. There's no charge for moving a booking for illness.
