At Little Birdie Hair Co we believe in keeping our refund policy as clean and transparent as our chemical ingredients in the colour we use.

We always aim for you to walk out loving your new look, but we understand that sometimes things might not go as planned. If you’re not completely satisfied, rest assured we’ll do our best to make it right.

Should you wish to request a refund, our welcoming reception team will guide you through the process, adhering to guidelines set by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC).

According to ACCC’s consumer guarantee, refunds aren’t available if:

- You requested a service against our professional advice

Question 4

Why do you ask for deposits? Why do you charge cancellation fees?

Accepted Answer

On any given day of the week, we have up to 8+ people sitting on our waiting list. We charge a booking deposit (which comes off your total at the end of your service) to ensure we don't have last-minute and no-show appointments. This also ensures that other people get a chance to get their hair done if you need to cancel. If you do cancel your appointment outside of 24 hours, your deposit will be kept on file as a credit.

If you fail to give enough cancellation notice, 50% of the service you are booked for will be charged (your $50 deposit will go towards this). No-show appointments (charged at 100% of the service) will be charged by invoice or by the card you used online for your deposit. By replying to our confirmation message, you are acknowledging these terms and conditions.

Booking deposits are not automatically refunded if you cancel your booking and will be kept on file for your next appointment. If you would like your credit refunded, please email bookings@littlebirdiehairco.com, and we will process this for you.

Question 5

Why don't you use Plex systems?

Accepted Answer

Plex systems are re-builders/enchancers/multipliers. They claim that when the hair is damaged from the lightening process, their products can 'mend' the damage as the bleach lightens. We see a few issues with these claims and have tried to explain them below:
​
1. Once you add a plex to your colouring products, you slow down the colouring process. This means our clients are in the chair longer. When slowing down the lightening process, you can also introduce unwanted yellow/golden tones (which is often what our clients are trying to avoid).
 
2. Because the process is slowed, most manufacturers recommend upping your 'developer' (that's the bad stuff). This means instead of a normal and gentle lift, you're forced to use pretty hardcore stuff! Why take the risk? 
 
3. Once added to your colour, your hair becomes dependant on it and you need to use it all the time. Forget to use it between visits? Can't afford the time or added cost during you next foil service? Instant breakage! Your hair is both your natural and the artificial bonder, so all the good work is undone by not using the product properly. 
 
4. We were all trained as hairdressers without having to rely on Plex systems. What did hairdressers do before Plexes became a thing?! A good hairdresser can lift your hair safely without having to rely on these systems. We're all about taking you from your current hair to your desired goal in a realistic time frame, not one based on which celeb managed to go from black to blonde in a day.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Accepted Answer

Question 9

Are all your salons wheelchair accessible?

Accepted Answer

Our Gympie salon is currently accessible on the first level for dry hair cuts only.

Question 10

What can I do to best prepare for my hair appointment?

Accepted Answer

On the day of your LBHCo appointment, make sure you allow sufficient time for your appointment. If you've booked in for a longer appointment, you are more than welcome to bring your own food, although we have a delicious menu of drinks and snack available complimentary to you. 
 
As hairstylists are visual in nature, we also recommend you bring along any inspiration photos you have! That way we can have a better vision of the look you are wanting to achieve.

Question 11

Why do apprentices blow-dry my hair?

Accepted Answer

We offer blow-drys as a complimentary service and use our apprentices to do this free of charge. You are more than welcome to request a senior to do your blow-dry, however, this will be charged an additional $65.
