Terms and Conditions

Terms of business.

By making an appointment at Philip lee salon you agree to the following terms conditions…

Prior to making your colouring appointment

• A colour appointment must be booked with a cut or blow dry.
• Skin tests – Prior to making your colour appointment it is important that you notify us if you have not been skin tested or had a colouring service within the last six months. If not you must visit the salon at least 48 hours prior to your appointment. We may call you before your scheduled appointment to arrange a skin test. It is also essential that you notify us of any reactions from any previous colour, whether this was applied within the salon or at home or if you have any reactions to, henna tattoo’s, or any permanent or semi permanent make up. This is your responsibility to notify us and we can only do our best to protect you with this honest information.
• If you are unable to attend the salon for a skin test prior to your colour we have the right to refuse any colour services within the salon. The health and well being of our guests is a priority. If we were to apply colour without performing an allergy test, it would comprise your safety and we’re not prepared to do that under any circumstance.

Cancelling or Rescheduling your appointment

• Appointments which are cancelled at short notice or clients who fail to show up to their appointment cause inconvenience to other clients, a loss of revenue to the salon and earnings for our stylists.
