When you book a service with us, you are not only agreeing to receive our fantastic service, but also our terms & conditions and other policies, including our cancellation policy below.
Cancellation Policy
Cancellations or rescheduling within 48 hours will be charged at 50%
Changes within 24-hours or no shows will be charged at 100%
We’ve always aimed to be super-flexible and completely committed to providing an excellent experience for our fabulous clients. To do this, we need a few policies, so everyone knows what to expect.
We make some of your appointments months in advance, so we know it’s easy to sometimes forget. That’s why we aim to contact you 48 hours beforehand, as a courtesy, to remind you about that appointment you made months ago.
We also understand that plans change, so we just ask that if you need to make changes, please do it as soon as possible.
Your appointments are as special to our team and business, as they are to you. Our talented stylists have busy columns, late cancellations/no shows usually means someone on our waiting list misses out. We ask our clients to be considerate of this and recognise, in these times, we are no longer able to absorb the cost of cancellations or no shows.
We’ll always do our best to re-book a cancelled slot.
We want to have all the time necessary to provide our excellent service, so if you’re running behind schedule, please call us as soon as possible as it may not be possible to fulfil your appointment and this would be classed as a no show (as above). We know this may be frustrating, but as a busy salon, we have a responsibility to all our clients that their appointments are fulfilled. If you do not attend your appointment, without notice, you will be asked to pay the cancellation fee before any further appointments may be made.
For our larger, high-cost appointments, and appointments in premium slots (Saturdays, December, Christmas, New Year, etc) a non-refundable deposit may be required. This also applies to new clients when booking their first service.
Welcome! We’re in a new
world; so please make sure you read and understand the following information
BEFORE attending your appointment.
Please tell us as soon as possible you are not able to attend your appointment. Check our policy for cancellation fees which apply to all appointments.
Our team are encouraged to conduct regular Lateral Flow Tests.
AHEAD OF YOUR APPOINTMENT
Please arrive to your appointment on-time at not early. Appointments are carefully timed; if you’re late we may not be able to see you, which we really don’t want.
We understand that sometimes you may need to cancel an appointment, please contact us as soon as possible to do so. Please see our cancellation policy as there is a fee to cancel your appointment within 48 hours. A deposit may be required for some services.
SEE YOU AGAIN
We accept cash or card payments. and encourage you to re-book your next appointment at the end of your service or use our online service.

Thankfully, our team are safe after a successful evacuation of the building. This will clearly affect our re-opening as we assess the damage to the property and our ability to operate.

We store notes with respect to services we undertake to ensure we maintain and exceed our level of service. For example, your preferred hair style, colour formula codes, how you like your coffee and who your favourite stylists are.

Tom Ashley occasionally uses system text messages to communicate information regarding your appointment. Tom Ashley accepts no responsibility should a text message fail to reach you for any reason or is not sent. Texts do not form part of our obligation to clients and are a gesture of goodwill. For operational reasons, they may be turned off/on at certain times. It remains your responsibility to actively book your future appointments and to record the time and dates of them. In doing so, you will avoid paying no show fees for missing an appointment or changing it at short notice. Should you need to change or cancel an appointment you must call the salon directly and not text.
