Terms of business.
By making an appointment at TPL salon you agree to the following terms conditions…
Prior to making your colouring appointment
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. We therefore ask that you give us 48 hours’ notice for any appointment change or cancellation. We do understand that life happens and, at the managers discretion, we may disregard the late cancellation policy.
Equally, if we have to cancel your appointment we will also supply 48 hours’ notice where ever possible. In the event that we are unable to provide 48 hours’ notice we will try our very best to accommodate your appointment for when is most convenient to yourself. We will try where ever possible to offer a more senior stylist at no extra cost.

We review our pricing annually and reserve the right to amend or change our pricing structure without notification
We can only give accurate price for a service following a thorough in depth consultation. If you have booked over the phone or online, prices may vary once you have had your consultation in Salon. Your stylist may recommend or advise a different treatment of approach to give you the results you are after. This is why we always recommend a consultation before quoting a price for colour over the phone. We can try our best to give you a rough idea over the phone but please bear in mind that this price will not be set in stone.
Balayage, colour correction and bridal parties can only ever be quoted after a consultation.
Contact details

You will be allocated a trainee and will not be able to request the services of any particular trainee.
We cannot promise hair appointments on a regular basis, although we will do our best to fulfil your requirements.

For educational reasons, we ask that you make the trainee aware of all your recent hair history and chemical services. please don’t withhold information from the trainee as this is for your safety.
