Modern Blonde Policies

We are so excited that you’re looking to book an appointment with us or that you’ve already booked one with us! We can’t wait to meet you or see you again. 

In order to provide you with the best possible services and ensure our staff are ready to greet you with the appropriate level of notice and time set aside for your services, we ask that you kindly review this page carefully in conjunction with our Cancellation Policy below.

Pricing and Fees

Please note that our stylists have their own starting prices for their services. The pricing noted on our website,on the Services page or In quote given sets a general price guideline only. The fees per service will depend on hair length, density, hair history, product required, and length of the booking.

Our Booking Platform and Changes to Appointments or Client Profiles

We have an easy-to-use booking platform that we are super proud of. It allows you to choose from our large roster of services and manage your appointments with ease.

A valid credit card entry is required to secure all bookings in our secure and private Booking Platform. Your credit card will not be charged when you book the appointment. If you do not have a credit card you may leave a 50% cash deposit within 24 hours of booking. See our Cancellation Policy below.

Our Booking Platform allows you to log in to schedule your appointment with our highly skilled hairstylists and extension artists and manage your appointments. It creates a profile of who you are and what services you have had in the past with us, and we also make that information accessible to you. You can schedule your appointment, cancel your appointment and even reschedule it all on one platform! You can review your past visits and update your contact information, such as your phone number, e-mail and secure and privately stored credit card information, all of which are also required when booking your appointments with us. Please take a few minutes to review our Cancellation Policy below.

Consultations

All of our appointments start with a complimentary consultation before your service. We do our best to be very transparent during our consultations as to what is achievable in one session or in multiple sessions.

Be realistic with your expectations and we will do our best to help you manage your expectations too by giving our best opinion on what is achievable for you.

If, during the consultation, we find that your hair history (for example, previous use of box dyes, perms, straightening, etc.), has compromised or damaged your hair such that the service you want will not achieve the results you are aiming for, we will discuss that with you and first try and come up with a solution. If it is not possible to meet your expectations, we may refuse services and cancel the appointment in your best interest. We only want what is best for you and your hair and we will never provide you with a service that is risky. If there is risk involved and you decide to proceed, and your stylist is willing to proceed, then you may be asked to sign a waiver releasing Modern Blonde/Platinum Salon and its staff from any and all liability in relation to the service you ask us to perform.

If you would like us to conduct a full stand-alone assessment of your hair before your appointment, free of charge, please contact us as consultations must be booked by our front desk.

Choose Correct Services When Booking Online

Please ensure you book the correct service. Each service will have a different time allocation (especially for colour related services) so if the service selected is not the accurate service, we may not be able to provide the correct services for your hair due to time constraints or other issues unique to you. If you need help in identifying which service would best fit your needs, please contact us to speak to the front desk about their recommendation or to book a complimentary consultation if we can’t determine the correct service by phone.

Service Re-do’s

If you want to request any type of“re-do” to a service already provided to you, please call us to discuss first before booking another appointment on our Booking Platform, and please notify us within 48 hours after your initial appointment.

• We do not issue refunds on our services.
   

• Any “re-do”must be requested and completed within 14 days of the initial service and with the same stylist. We reserve the right to refuse a “re-do”for various reasons, and including but not limited to, if the result you sought was achieved the first time or if the stylist discussed with you the possibility of our inability to achieve the result you wished to achieve.

• We will not provide any “re-do” services if you or another stylist makes any adjustments to your hair after the original services were provided to you.
   

• Colour fees may apply for “re-do’s”, depending on the situation.
   

• If a “re-do” is requested because you have changed your mind about the look you wanted to achieve, regular colour fees and hourly rates will apply.
   

• To avoid a “re-do” you should always use professional products to maintain your hair, and hair colour. Drugstore products can affect the longevity of your colour and integrity of your hair. You can choose from a wide array of professional hair care products at our Modern Blonde/Platinum Salon Location.
   

• Some complex or corrective colour services may require multiple visits/services to achieve optimal results by our very experienced stylists. Your stylist will discuss your goals with you and plan the number of sittings needed with you directly.
   

• Optimal colour services cannot be achieved if you have box-colour or henna present in your hair since both box-colour and henna have an inconsistent nature and can react poorly with professional hair colour, leading to unpredictable results.

Hair Cleanliness

Colour Service Appointment we recommend arriving at your appointment with hair that has been washed within the past two days. This helps us see your hair in its natural state and assists in the colouring process. For Extension move up/install appointments please arrive with hair freshly washed and fully dried the day of your appointment. No conditioner or styling products applied on install day. If you would like to add a wash and blow dry to your install please book ahead of time.
