Policies

At Hone & Howe we value both your time and ours. The notes below set out how we handle cancellations and patch tests so every visit runs smoothly and safely - for you and for the clients waiting after you.

Cancellation policy

Your appointment is set aside especially for you. If your plans change, please let us know at least 24 hours ahead and we’ll happily find another time that suits.

Late cancellations and missed appointments

Changes inside the 24-hour window - and missed appointments - mean we’re unable to return your deposit. By then, we usually can’t offer the time to another client.

Patch test policy

For your safety, some colour appointments need a complimentary in-salon patch test at least 24 hours before. The test takes just a few minutes, and there’s no need to book.

When you’ll need one

You’re a new colour client.
It’s been six months or more since your last colour service.
There’s been a change in your health, medication, or allergies.

How to get a patch test

Pop in during our opening hours - no appointment needed.
The test is complimentary and takes just a few minutes.

Without a patch test in place

If a patch test hasn’t been completed at least 24 hours before your appointment, we won’t be able to proceed with your colour service, and your deposit will be retained in line with the cancellation policy above.
