Salon Etiquette and Policies
We’ve designed your experience at Fatty Arbuckles to be relaxing and rejuvenating. To ensure your time with us is as beneficial as possible, we ask that you arrive 15 minutes before your appointment to allow time for parking and a thorough consultation with your stylist.
The Salon is your sanctuary. Please leave the outside world behind by switching your mobile to silent while you’re here.

ADJUSTMENTS
If you are not completely satisfied with the outcome of your service after leaving the salon, we encourage you to contact us within the first week of receiving the service. If you were away during that time, please feel free to email us your concerns along with any relevant images for assessment. We will review your case and if necessary, invite you back for any adjustments with your original stylist within two weeks of your original appointment. Please note that we do not offer refunds for services rendered. However we are more than happy to address any concerns that you may have as long as they fall within the parameters of what was discussed during your initial consultation. We strive to ensure your satisfaction and will make every effort to rectify any issues. We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to make your salon experience a positive one.
CHILDREN
We understand that it may be necessary for parents to bring their babies in prams, but we request that they are not held during any colour or cutting services. This precaution is in place to ensure the health and safety of both the child and the person performing the service. Regarding older children we prefer that they do not accompany you to the salon due to limited seating availability. However if it isn’t unavoidable, we ask that you keep them tidy and quiet during your visit, they may be asked to wait at the reception area due to limited seating capacity in our salon.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation with these guidelines. They are designed to maintain a safe and comfortable environment for all of our customers. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know.
