Why do I need a Credit Card to Book Online?+

At Zazou we’re committed to providing exceptional service and a seamless booking experience. To ensure fairness for both our guests and our team, we require a credit card to secure all online appointments. Here’s why:

1. Securing Your Appointment

When you book with us, we reserve that time just for you! A credit card holds your spot, ensuring our stylists are ready to give you the best experience possible.

2. Reducing No-Shows & Last-Minute Cancellations

We understand that life happens, and we offer flexibility for rescheduling. However, late cancellations or no-shows impact our team and other guests who may have wanted that time slot. A credit card helps us enforce our cancellation policy, ensuring fairness for all.

3. Respecting Our Stylists’ Time

Our talented stylists dedicate their time and skills to every appointment. When a booking goes unused, it directly affects their schedule and income. A credit card requirement encourages commitment while allowing us to continue offering the high-quality service you expect from Zazou.

4. Industry Standard for Professional Service

Many salons, spas, and medical offices require a credit card for online bookings. It’s a common practice that ensures a professional and efficient scheduling system.

5. Secure & Hassle-Free Transactions

Your credit card information is protected and encrypted through our secure booking system. If needed, you can also use the same card to pay for your service after your appointment for a faster checkout.

What is your cancellation policy?+

We value both our guests’ time and our Stylist’s schedules. To ensure fairness for everyone, we require a minimum of 24 hours’ notice for cancellations or rescheduling.

If we do not receive at least 24 hours’ notice:

  • We will provide a one-time courtesy warning for the first occurrence.
  • If late cancellations or no-shows continue, a 50% charge of the scheduled service cost will be required to book future appointments

This policy helps us accommodate other guests and ensures our stylists’ time is respected!

Is a blowdry style included in the cost of a colour service without a haircut?+

With all colour services that do not include a haircut we offer a 15 minute complimentary express blow dry that removes moisture from the hair so you can see what your colour looks like. If you are looking for an additional style we charge a blow dry and style fee due to the additional time required, approx 30 to 45 minutes, for $45 – $55+. If you have long or thick hair this may require more time and can increase the price, which will be quoted by your stylist. This service includes a round brush or flat brush dry and style. Any hot tool use (curling iron or flat iron) requires additional time and is added on for an additional $20.

What is the cost for Event Styling and what should I do to prepare for the service?+

Event Styling starts at $75 and can increase depending on the complexity of the style desired and the amount of time it will take. Before coming in for your event styling service we do ask that you wash your hair the day before and arrive for your appointment with clean dry hair. We also suggest that you wear a button up, or a zip up shirt that is easy to take off so that when you go to change you do not ruin your hair in the process.

Do you offer children’s pricing? +

No, our prices are the same for children and adults. We offer the same time, care and service experience for both children and adults.

Is colour safe for pregnancy?+

Colour will be fine if you are pregnant, however, if you feel uncomfortable with it we do suggest that you have highlights done instead of a solid colour. This is because a solid colour is applied directly to your scalp, highlights are foiled into the hair away from the scalp. We do use La Biosthetique colour which is 92% naturally derived, and has the lowest amount of ammonia content compared to any other colour product on the market. However, if you are at all uncomfortable we recommend speaking with your family doctor before scheduling an appointment.

Should I arrive early for my appointment? +

We do ask that you arrive at least 5 minutes early for your appointment in order to fill out any necessary forms and to have a chance to peruse our latest products before your service. This also helps to ensure that you receive all the time you have scheduled for your service. Should you arrive late for your service, we may not be able to complete your full service.

Do we do hair extensions? +

We offer a variety of high-quality hair extension options to suit your needs and lifestyle, including:

-Bellami Extensions
-Great Lengths Bonded Extensions
-EasiHairPro Tape-Ins
-i-Tip Extensions

Do you guarantee your products and services? +

Yes, we guarantee our products and services 100%. If you are unsatisfied with your salon service, we guarantee a complimentary redo if you call within 14 days of your initial service. We then book you in for a redo with your stylist. If you have changed your mind about your haircut style or colour originally requested and agreed upon than we would book you in for another chargeable hair service. We cannot guarantee colour services from fading if you do not use professional haircare products due to the fact that non-professional hair products have the potential to strip your hair colour. This is why our stylists will always recommend a professional salon haircare product because it will help preserve your colour. For hair products, we do guarantee satisfaction. You may return them for store credit or exchange within 2 weeks of original purchase and the bottle must be half full or more. Hot tools (hair straighteners and blowdryers) are guaranteed at Zazou within a month of purchase. After one month the warranty goes to the manufacturer for the first year of use.
