At Margin Point, we are committed to providing high-quality styling services and ensuring your complete satisfaction. We understand that circumstances may arise where you need to cancel a service or request a refund. This policy outlines our approach to refunds and cancellations.
By booking our services, you agree to the terms of this refund policy. Please read it carefully to understand your rights and responsibilities.
1. Refund Eligibility
Refunds may be issued under the following circumstances:
1.1 Service Cancellation by Margin Point
If we need to cancel your scheduled service due to stylist illness, emergency, or other unforeseen circumstances, you will be entitled to:
- A full refund of any amounts paid, or
- Rescheduling of the service at no additional cost, or
- Credit toward future services equal to the amount paid
1.2 Client Cancellation
If you need to cancel your scheduled service:
- More than 48 hours before the scheduled appointment: Full refund of any amounts paid
- 24-48 hours before the scheduled appointment: 75% refund of any amounts paid
- Less than 24 hours before the scheduled appointment: 50% refund of any amounts paid
- No-shows (failure to attend without notice): No refund
We understand that emergencies happen. In case of serious illness, family emergency, or other extenuating circumstances, please contact us as soon as possible, and we will work with you to find a suitable solution.
1.3 Service Quality Issues
If you are not satisfied with the quality of our services, please notify us within 7 days of service completion. We will review your concerns and may offer:
- A follow-up session to address specific issues
- Partial refund based on the nature of the concern
- Full refund in cases where we were demonstrably unable to provide the agreed-upon service
Please note that styling is subjective, and disagreement with style recommendations alone does not qualify for a refund if the service was delivered as described and agreed upon.
2. Refund Process
To request a refund, please follow these steps:
- Contact us at [email protected] or call +44 20 3205 3552
- Provide your booking reference number and the date of service
- Explain the reason for your refund request
- Include any relevant supporting information
We aim to respond to all refund requests within 2 business days and to process approved refunds within 7 business days.
3. Refund Processing Time
Once a refund is approved, the time it takes for the refund to appear in your account depends on your payment method:
- Credit/Debit Cards: 5-10 business days, depending on your card issuer
- Bank Transfers: 3-5 business days
- PayPal: 1-3 business days
Refunds will be issued using the same payment method used for the original purchase unless otherwise agreed.
4. Special Circumstances
4.1 Package Bookings
For service packages:
- Refunds for unused services within a package will be calculated at the standard (non-package) rate for services already used
- Any difference between the package price paid and the standard rate for services used will be refunded
- Packages are non-transferable to other clients unless specifically agreed in writing
4.2 Gift Certificates
For gift certificates:
- Gift certificates are non-refundable but may be transferred to another person
- Gift certificates are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase
- Expired gift certificates may be extended for a fee of £25, at our discretion
4.3 Virtual Services
For virtual styling services:
- Technical issues on our end that prevent service delivery will result in full refund or rescheduling
- Technical issues on the client's end will be addressed by rescheduling once, with no additional charge
- If client-side technical issues persist, we may offer a partial refund or credit toward future services
