⚠️ 6 Salon Services Gotchas to Watch For
- Late Cancellation Fees: HIGH Most salons charge 50-100% of service cost for cancellations within 24-48 hours. No-shows often charged full price plus banned from future bookings
- No Refund Policy: HIGH Many salons have no refund policies on services rendered. If you hate your haircut, the most you'll get is a free "fix" within 7 days
- Membership Auto-Renewal: HIGH Salon memberships often auto-renew annually with rate increases. Cancellation may require 30-60 days notice or penalty fees
- Package Expiration: MEDIUM Prepaid service packages often expire in 6-12 months. Unused services may not be refundable or transferable
- Chemical Service Liability: MEDIUM Salons disclaim liability for adverse reactions to color, perms, or treatments. Patch tests may be required or liability waived
- Gratuity Included: MEDIUM Some salons include automatic gratuity in membership prices. You may be tipping twice if adding additional tip at checkout
