Define Hair and SkinDefine Hair and SkinDefine Hair and SkinOur goal is a customized experience and product that works for you. To ensure the utmost level of service, an in-person consultation is included in every new guest service appointment. As part of our DEFINED hair consultation experience, your stylist will reach out to you prior to your first visit to say hello and gain insight into your hair goals. Our providers strive to not only learn about your hair & skin, but create a look that fits your lifestyle as well.
As we value your time and the time of other guests, all new guest reservations require a credit card upon booking. Please refer to our cancellation policy below if you need to reschedule or cancel your reservation. All services may require a deposit if there is more than one last minute cancellation. Extended specialty color services, major color corrections, straightening services, and extensions require a consultation and a 50% deposit of the anticipated amount. All deposits are non-transferable and non-refundable.
We strive to provide our guests with the highest quality service and therefore must protect the time of your service providers and respect other guests’ scheduled appointment times. Our cancellation policy is as follows:
At Define, your time & preferences are our top priority. Being on time is greatly appreciated to ensure a consistent and quality service, as well as a courtesy to other Define guests who come after you. Please note late arrivals may be subject to a shortening of service offerings or a rescheduling of your appointment. Guests who arrive 15 minutes late or greater two times or more may be subject to a 50% deposit down for subsequent appointments.
Wearing your favorite shirt or dress? Hang it up! We provide and highly encourage a color robe with every color, facial, and massage service. However, even with a robe, there’s always a risk of color or skin products traveling, so please protect your pretties by leaving them on the hanger. Define Hair will not be held liable for any staining or damages to clothing.
We happily welcome children to our Define experience for any service. Please note all children 18 and under receiving services must have a parent or guardian present at the time of service. To ensure the highest level of attentiveness between our guests & artists, and as a consideration to other guests, we do recommend that children visit only when receiving services. We understand snow days and life can happen, so in the event your child must accompany you, be mindful that the salon environment contains sharp objects, hot tools, and chemicals potentially dangerous to unattended children and some color appointments can take an average of 3 hours per visit. Children are not allowed on the styling floor due to safety precautions (including infants in car seats & carriers) and are welcome to wait independently in our lounge area space permitting. We thank you in advance for helping us keep your child’s safety a priority.
If you are not satisfied with the quality of any service please notify us within 1 week and we will consult with you to determine how we may adjust your service accordingly. No refunds or credit for services will be given, but our artists’ top priority is 100% happy, defined guests and to ensure your satisfaction with your service results.
Gratuity is not included in any services, packages, or gift cards. As always, gratuities are discretionary and always appreciated. If you choose to leave cash for gratuities, we do provide change as well as envelopes. While we do not offer cash back on credit cards, you do have the option to add gratuities to your card.
