Our Salon Policies
Salon Cancellation Policy
​
At Aura London we strive to provide exceptional service and ensure that all of our clients have the best experience possible. To maintain this high standard and respect the time of both our clients and staff, we have implemented a cancellation policy to ensure excellent customer service and satisfaction is achieved. This policy helps us manage our schedule effectively and accommodate clients who may be waiting for an appointment.
​
Cancellation Policy
​
Notice Period for Cancellations:
-
We require a minimum of 48 hours notice for any cancellations or rescheduling of appointments. This allows us the opportunity to fill the appointment slot and accommodate other clients. It also enables to cover the loss of earning and cost incurred for the appointment to be missed.
Late Cancellations and No-Shows:
-
Cancellations made with less than 24 hours notice will be subject to a 50% cancellation fee or the deposit they paid up front.
-
Clients who do not show up for their scheduled appointment without any notice will be charged as above.
-
Cancellations made between 24 and 48 hours notice will be subject to a 30% cancellation fee.
Late Arrivals:
-
If you arrive late for your appointment, we will do our best to accommodate you. However, please be aware that your appointment may need to be shortened or rescheduled to avoid delaying the next client. Full service fees may still apply.
Appointment Confirmation:
-
We will send a reminder via text message 2 days before and email 4 days before your appointment. You may also wish to check our most up to date prices as these can fluctuate in relation to our costs to deliver services and treatments.
Emergency Situations:
-
We understand that emergencies happen. If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment due to an emergency, please contact us as soon as possible. We will do our best to accommodate your situation without applying the cancellation fee. But this is at the discretion of the business and does not conflict with the cancellation policy. With notice your deposit and appointment may be rescheduled to another time.
Repeat No-Shows or Late Cancellations:
-
Clients who frequently cancel appointments with less than 24 hours notice or do not show up for appointments may be required to pre-pay for future services.
​
How to Cancel or Reschedule:
-
To cancel or reschedule an appointment, please contact us directly at 02080148315 or info@aurahairlondon.com. You can also use our online booking system if you booked that way as long as it's before the 48 hour notice period.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation with our cancellation policy. This helps us ensure that all our clients receive the highest quality service and that our team can manage their schedules efficiently.

​
Salon Skin Test Policy
​
At Aura London, your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities. To ensure the best results and minimise the risk of allergic reactions, we have implemented a mandatory skin test policy for certain treatments and services. This policy helps us to ensure that all products used are compatible with your skin and hair, providing you with the highest level of care.
​
​
Skin Test Policy
​
Who Needs a Skin Test:
-
A skin test is required for all new clients receiving colour treatments, chemical treatments (such as perms or relaxers), and any other services involving potential allergens.
-
Existing clients must undergo a skin test if it has been more than 6 months since their last test or if they are trying a new product or treatment.
When to Schedule a Skin Test:
-
The skin test must be conducted at least 48 hours before your scheduled treatment. This allows adequate time to observe any adverse reactions. In line with our manufacturer and insurance policies.
How the Skin Test is Conducted:
-
During the skin test, a small amount of the product will be applied to a discrete area of your skin, usually behind the ear or on the inner forearm.
-
You will be advised to leave the test area untouched and dry for 48 hours to monitor for any signs of irritation, redness, swelling, or other adverse reactions.
Booking a Skin Test:
-
Please contact us to book your skin test/consultation appointment at least 48 hours before your desired treatment date. You can reach us at 02080148315 or info@aurahairlondon.com, or book online through our website for a consultation.
​
Results of the Skin Test:
-
If you experience any discomfort or adverse reactions during the 48-hour period, please contact us immediately. Depending on the reaction, we may need to adjust your treatment plan or suggest alternative products.
-
If no reaction occurs, you are cleared to proceed with your scheduled treatment.
​
Client Responsibility:
-
It is the client’s responsibility to inform us of any known allergies, sensitivities, or previous adverse reactions to hair and skin products before undergoing any treatment.
-
Failure to undergo the required skin test will result in the rescheduling of your treatment to a later date. Fees may still apply
​
Why Skin Tests Are Important:
​
-
Safety First: Skin tests help us identify any potential allergic reactions to the products used, ensuring your safety and well-being.
-
Optimal Results: By confirming product compatibility, we can provide you with the best possible results for your treatment.
-
Peace of Mind: Knowing that a product is safe for your skin allows you to relax and enjoy your salon experience.​
​
We appreciate your cooperation and understanding of our skin test policy. This small step helps us maintain the highest standards of safety and quality in our services.
