The Hive Hair Studio Experience



INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW:

The Hive Hair Studio is an appointment only salon and does not accept walk-ins. 

When scheduling appointments utilize our online booking system when able to do so. Please be patient while we return your messages. The owners of The Hive are your service providers, receptionists, and social media managers. If you contact the studio outside normal business hours, you may not receive a response right away. 

No cash is kept on the premises. For payment, all major credit/debit cards are accepted. You may pay with cash, but your service provider will not be able to make change for you.

All prior and future service and product sales are final and non refundable. 


APPOINTMENT EXPECTATIONS:

Please arrive 5 minutes early. Upon arrival, text the studio at 517.338.3073 to inform us you have arrived. You may wait in your car, or in the second floor waiting area. Your service provider will notify you when it is time for you to come inside the studio, for your appointment. For your safety, and the safety of your service provider, the studio door is sometimes kept closed or locked during business hours. 

Please do not bring anyone to your appointment with you. During your appointment we would love for you to relax and enjoy 1 on 1 time with your service provider. Parents are welcome to chaperone during their child's appointment. 

CANCELATION POLICY:

48 hour notice is required to cancel appointments. If an appointment is canceled within 48 hours, or is not attended, you will be charged a cancellation fee of 50% of the scheduled services. This fee is used to compensate the service provider for their lost time.

If you decide against receiving a service or multiple services while at your appointment, it will be considered a last minute cancelation of the original service(s) booked. 

By booking an appointment with us you acknowledge and agree to our cancelation policy.

Please understand that appointment times are limited. If you are running more than 10 minutes late for your appointment, we may, at our discretion, still accommodate you in the remaining time frame or reschedule your service. For repeat offenses of lateness, 50% of the service amount will be imposed as rescheduling charges.

If we do not hear from you for 15 or more minutes into your scheduled appointment time, it is considered a “No-Show,” and your card will be charged for 50% of the service scheduled. If a credit card is not on file, a negative balance will be added to your account for this amount.


REDO APPOINTMENT POLICY:

 If you ever feel like you are not completely satisfied with our service, please let us know during your appointment or within 7 days after your service has been performed. If we’re notified of your wish for an adjustment, we will consider scheduling you for an adjustment. The price of this adjustment may vary depending on our interpretation of the specific circumstances and can range from no charge to cost of product only, to full price. All prior and future service charges are final and non-refundable. 

Please note that this policy does not cover any deviations to the style or color agreed upon and discussed during the initial appointment. Any deviations from the initial requests would be considered an entirely new service, not an adjustment or redo.
