Creating a Relaxing and Enjoyable Experience at Hair Shaka
At Hair Shaka, your comfort and relaxation are our top priorities. We want every visit to be a rejuvenating escape, so we've put together a few guidelines to enhance your experience.
Unplug and Unwind
To help create a peaceful atmosphere for everyone, we would appreciate it if you could set your mobile phones to silent during your visit. This allows you and our other guests to fully relax without interruptions.
Timely Appointments for Your Perfect Pampering
Each appointment is carefully scheduled to ensure you receive the time and attention you deserve. Arriving a little early not only helps us stay on track but also gives you a moment to unwind with a complimentary cup of tea or coffee before your treatment begins.
In Case You're Running Late
Life happens, and sometimes delays are unavoidable. If you arrive late, we'll make the most of the remaining time to provide the best possible service. Please understand that to respect everyone's schedule, we might need to adjust the length or nature of your appointment if another guest is booked immediately after you.
Thank you for helping us maintain a serene and timely environment at Hair Shaka. We look forward to pampering you soon!

Your happiness with our services and products is paramount to us at Hair Shaka. Here's how we handle refunds with care:
Hair Services
While we typically do not offer refunds on hair services, your satisfaction is our priority. If you're not delighted with your hair, please let us know immediately. We're dedicated to making it right and ensuring you leave feeling confident and beautiful.
Product Refunds
If a product you purchased doesn't meet your expectations, we're happy to assist. Simply bring your receipt, and we'll gladly offer a refund. Even if you've used the product, we understand that finding the perfect match is essential. We're delighted to exchange it for something more suitable to meet your needs.
At Hair Shaka, we're not just about hair – we're about your happiness and confidence. Reach out to us with any concerns, and let us continue to serve you with excellence.
We accept all major credit cards. However, a 2.5% additional charge will be incurred, so we do recommend using NETS (contactless debit) or PayNow.
At Hair Shaka, we understand that plans can change. If you need to adjust your appointment, please let us know as soon as possible — it truly helps our team manage their schedules effectively. The following applies only for first timers who use our Online Booking for now.
Appointment Deposit
- A 25% appointment deposit is required for online bookings and first-time appointments. This ensures your spot is reserved and confirms your commitment.
Booking Cancellation Policy
- Our cancellation policy is designed to accommodate both our clients and our team. Appointments can be changed up to 48 hours before the scheduled time. Beyond that, the following charges will apply, which will be settled via the payment card used to book the appointment:
- Within 48 hours, or 2 business days: 25% of the appointment cost
- Within 24 hours, or 1 business day: 50% of the appointment cost
- No-show or same-day cancellation: 100% of the appointment cost
Running Late?
- If you’re running late, please contact us immediately. We’ll do our best to adjust your appointment to the remaining time available, helping you avoid any cancellation charges.
Why We Enforce These Policies
- Last-minute cancellations or no-shows mean we miss the opportunity to serve other clients on our waiting list and cannot fill that time slot. This affects our team and our business significantly.
Secure Payment Information
- Card details are securely held by our payment provider to manage future appointments. These details are protected with the highest compliance. Our team has no access to your payment information.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. Your consideration helps us provide the best possible service to all our clients.
At Hair Shaka, our goal is to offer exceptional service and ensure every client feels valued and cared for. However, in certain rare situations, we reserve the right to refuse service if it is in the best interest of everyone involved. We always handle such matters with politeness and transparency.
Reasons we may refuse a service:
1. Service Request Outside Our Expertise:
If a client requests a service that we don't provide, don't specialise in, or feel uncomfortable performing — such as if the condition of the hair isn't suitable for the desired service — we may need to decline. We believe in delivering only the highest quality of work.
2. Repeated No-Shows:
We understand that life happens and sometimes appointments are missed. However, if a client consistently fails to show up for their scheduled appointments, it impacts our business and affects other clients who need our services. In such cases, we may decide to refuse future bookings.
3. Consistent Unhappiness with Service:
Our team strives to make every client happy, but if someone repeatedly expresses dissatisfaction despite our best efforts, it may be a sign that we are not the best fit for their needs. We will honestly communicate this and may suggest finding another stylist to ensure they receive the experience they deserve.
4. Discrimination, Abuse, or Harassment:
We maintain a safe and respectful environment for both our clients and staff. Any form of discrimination, abuse, harassment, or violence towards our employees or other clients will not be tolerated, and we will refuse service to anyone exhibiting such behaviour.
At Hair Shaka, we cherish our relationship with each client and aim to create a welcoming and positive atmosphere. Thank you for your understanding and support.
At Hair Shaka, we prioritise the safety and well-being of everyone in our salons and workplace. We maintain a 'zero tolerance' stance towards any form of discrimination, abuse, harassment, or violence. Your comfort and safety are paramount to us.
Our Commitment:
1. Zero Tolerance Policy:
Hair Shaka has a strict zero tolerance policy towards discrimination, abuse, harassment, and violence in any form. We believe in fostering an environment of respect and inclusivity for all.
2. Unacceptable Behavior:
Instances of verbal abuse, physical abuse, threats, harassment, or violence will not be tolerated under any circumstances. Such behaviour undermines our values and disrupts the safe space we strive to maintain.
3. Reporting and Investigation:
Any incidents of unacceptable behaviour will be promptly reported and thoroughly investigated. We take every complaint seriously and ensure appropriate action is taken to address the issue.
At Hair Shaka, we are committed to creating a safe and welcoming environment for everyone. Your cooperation in upholding our zero tolerance policy is greatly appreciated. Together, we can ensure that our salon remains a place of comfort, respect, and positivity.
