Booking Policy
Deposits, cancellations, lateness, no-shows and how to prepare your hair — everything you agree to when you book.
1. Appointments
All services are by appointment only to ensure you receive my full attention. Bookings can be made via WhatsApp, phone call, or online.
2. Confirmation & Availability
All appointments are confirmed once a deposit is received. Please check your appointment date and time carefully.
3. Deposits
A deposit is required to secure your appointment. All booking deposits are strictly non-refundable. If you need to reschedule, your deposit can be transferred to a new appointment provided you give a minimum of 48 hours' notice before your scheduled appointment.
4. Cancellation
- If you need to cancel your appointment, please provide at least 48 hours' notice.
- All booking deposits are non-refundable, including cancellations made with more than 48 hours' notice.
- If you provide at least 48 hours' notice, your deposit may be transferred to a new appointment.
- Cancellations made with less than 48 hours' notice, or failure to attend your appointment (no-shows), will result in the loss of your deposit, which cannot be transferred or refunded.
5. Lateness Policy
- A 20-minute grace period applies.
- After 20 minutes, a £10 late fee is automatically added.
- After an hour, your appointment may be cancelled and the deposit forfeited.
6. Children & Extra Guests
- No extra guests unless they are being serviced.
- Children are not permitted unless they are scheduled clients.
- All children under 12 years old must be supervised by their guardian or an adult.
Children under 4 years
Children under the age of 4 are accepted only in exceptional circumstances. For their safety and comfort, they must be closely supervised at all times by a parent or guardian. Where possible, the child should remain seated on their parent or guardian's lap during the appointment to help ensure a safe and secure environment for both the child and the stylist.
7. Health & Safety
- Please inform me of any allergies, scalp issues, or medical conditions before your appointment.
- Services may be declined if the hair/scalp condition poses a risk to your health or my tools.
8. Personal Belongings
Clients are responsible for their personal belongings throughout their appointment. Hair & Beauty By Sandyrule accepts no responsibility or liability for any lost, stolen, or damaged personal items.
9. Style Accuracy & Expectations
- Please send reference photos before your appointment for clarity.
- Prices may vary depending on length, volume, and size.
- Additional finishes (boho curls, colour blend, custom partings, accessories, etc.) must be confirmed during booking.
- Individual hair growth, texture, and prior treatments may affect the final result.
- While I aim for excellence, results cannot be guaranteed if your hair has been chemically treated, damaged, or previously styled by others.
10. Home Services
- Home service appointments are subject to travel availability and fees.
- Please provide a safe and clean working space for home appointments.
11. Reviews & Complaints
- Clients are encouraged to leave honest reviews after their appointment.
- Any concerns or complaints should be reported within 48 hours for timely resolution.
- For home-based or mobile services, if concerns are not raised immediately before the stylist departs, any follow-up adjustments may require an additional travel fee.
- Please provide photos or a clear explanation to support the resolution process.
- All complaints are handled respectfully, professionally, and fairly, with adjustments made where appropriate.
12. Add-Ons
All add-on requests must be communicated and confirmed during booking. Add-ons requested on the day may not be available if not pre-arranged. Additional fees apply for add-ons, including but not limited to:
- Braiding hair
- Hair bundles
- Styling accessories
- Colour blending or custom colour mixes
- Non-stretched extensions
- Boho curls, human hair curls, or specialty finishes
Final pricing will be confirmed once all add-ons have been agreed.
