What should I do if I need to cancel or reschedule?

To help us protect your dedicated time slot and serve every client at our best, we kindly ask for at least 24 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. This allows us to offer your slot to another client who may be waiting. You can reschedule easily through our online booking portal or by contacting us directly.

What happens if I arrive late to my appointment?

We understand that life happens. To protect the quality of your service and respect the schedule of other guests, appointments that run behind due to a late arrival may require a time-slot adjustment. In some cases, a small extension fee applies to cover the additional time needed. Arriving on time ensures you receive your full, unhurried service.

How should I prepare my hair before my appointment?

To help our stylists work safely and efficiently with your hair, we ask that you arrive with your hair thoroughly washed, completely detangled, and blow-dried straight from roots to ends — unless your specific service states otherwise. This preparation allows us to deliver the most precise, high-quality results possible. See our full How to Prep guide for step-by-step details.

Do I need to bring my own hair extensions or beads?

No — we have got you covered. Afro Royal Tresses supplies premium synthetic and human hair extensions, bundles, and styling beads directly on site, so you do not need to bring anything. If you have a specific brand or colour preference, feel free to mention it when booking and we will do our best to accommodate you.

Do you need to know about any allergies or scalp sensitivities?

Absolutely — your comfort and safety are our priority. If you have any known allergies, scalp sensitivities, or skin conditions, please let us know when booking your appointment or at the start of your session. This allows our stylists to select the most appropriate products and techniques for your specific needs, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience.

What is your refund policy for services and retail items?

To ensure fairness for all clients and maintain our high service standards, all hair care services and in-salon retail purchases are final sale. We take great care to consult with you before and during your appointment so that you feel confident and informed every step of the way. If you have any concerns about your service, please speak with your stylist before leaving the salon.

Can I bring my child to my appointment?

We welcome children aged 3 and above for their own appointments. To keep our salon environment calm and focused for all guests, we kindly ask that children attending as clients are accompanied by a parent or guardian throughout their visit. Children receiving services follow the same hair preparation guidelines — please see our How to Prep page for child-specific guidance.

Is there a phone or distraction policy during appointments?

We lovingly ask that you minimize phone use during your appointment, particularly during detailed styling steps. This helps our stylists maintain the focus and precision your hair deserves, and ensures your safety throughout the process. Of course, you are always welcome to take calls or browse between steps — we simply ask for your cooperation during the hands-on moments.

Our Healthy Hair Commitment

Because healthy hair is our priority, we may recommend adjusting or postponing a service if it is not in your hair's best interest.

If your stylist identifies that your hair or scalp is not in a condition that would allow for safe service — for example, severe breakage, scalp irritation, or insufficient preparation — we will always communicate this clearly and work with you to find the best path forward. Our goal is never to turn you away, but to protect the long-term health of your hair so that every service we perform leaves you better than when you arrived.
