We will not accept responsibility for any colour or design differences that are not factory faults. In purchasing from us, you agree to accept the risk that there will be a slight variation between the actual colour and design, and the representation on our website. 

*Hair colour & bleach reacts to the gold-plated surfaces. If hair colour or bleach comes into contact with the gold-plated surface it will develop & penetrate the surface causing staining that will be impossible to remove. Please note this type of damage will not be covered under warranty.

Please ensure you have asked our staff all questions prior to purchase to ensure your product is suitable for you.

Can I cancel an order?

Please keep in mind that when you order items and pay a deposit they are put aside for you and we are unable to sell these to other clients. Cancelling your order puts us, as a business in a difficult position.

If we can process your cancellation before your item is picked and packed, you will receive a refund minus 20% cancellation fee of your total order value regardless of how much money has been paid.

What about Pre-Orders or Back-orders?

In case we have placed a backorder we immediately have to make the payment to our suppliers to assure you are first in line to have the product shipped to you once it’s available. Once an order is confirmed the items are kept aside and marked as sold, which means that if you cancel the order for any reason you would be charged a 30% restocking fee.

Returned goods will only be accepted where a returns authorisation has been given. The relevant reference number must be quoted on accompanying documentation. For your own protection, please obtain a receipt from the carrier, as the company accept no responsibility for lost parcels.

Goods which are given free, as part of an offer, are not exchangeable or refundable unless the full offer is returned, subject to normal terms and conditions.
