You asked...we answered
Why do I have to pay a deposit to secure my hairdressing appointment?
The deposit secures and confirms your appointment at the studio. It prevents anyone booking that is associated with scams – when we get a spam booking and the booking doesn't arrive at their appointment we still have to pay our hairdresser for their time. The deposit also supports your commitment to attend your appointment as booked. We do understand that there are also genuine reasons why you can't make an appointment and we have covered that in our booking terms. For a full overview see: https://www.fortheloveofhair.com.au/booking-terms.
Can I get a hair appointment today?
Sometimes we have cancellations and there are available appointments on the day — but not always. We are a small boutique studio, our guests often make their appointments a year in advance to secure their favourite day and time. If you can’t locate an appointment for the day that you would like, leave us your details on the waitlist. Simply go online to book an appointment, and select your services and when you get to the day and time, click on Join Our Waitlist, and fill in your details.
Do you open late nights or weekends?
Yes, we open after hours on Wednesday and Thursday, and every Saturday. We also do other nights by appointment, the best way to find out is to join our waitlist if you don’t find a time that works for you.
Where is the best place to park near the salon?
If you are getting a service of an hour or less there is off street parking available, this is regulated by council, so please look at the signs when parking. There is also metered parking situated on Brisbane street, Gregory street and Wood street. Please allow extra space when parking , and prior to leaving home download the app Mackay Parking.
Do I have to wash my hair before I come?
This is not needed as all our services include a shampoo, we use Kerastase products at our spa area, and who would want to miss out on the best head massage in Mackay.
Can I bring pictures of what I want?
Yes, we love pictures as inspiration, not expectation. Meaning, its great to see a visual of what direction you want to head for your hair, but not having the expectation of getting exactly what the picture is, as they often are filled with filters and false variations of what the hair actually is. Check out our in studio images, to see some of our colour designs and haircuts. Disclaimer: maybe book your appointment before you go down the Instagram rabbit-hole, we know it can be hard to stay focused! https://www.instagram.com/fortheloveofhair_mackay.
What professional products do you stock?
In studio, we use Loreal Professional colours to provide you with a high quality, long lasting colour. At the spa area, we use Kerastase exclusively, with their wide range of shampoos, conditioners, treatments, and salon exclusive hair care rituals. in styling we also use Sebastian products to support hair styling in the home.
Do you sell gift vouchers?
Yes we do, you can choose any dollar amount you would like. Email info@fortheloveofhair.com.au You can choose a digital voucher or a printed voucher that you can collect in studio.
How long will my appointment take?
Generally, Cutting and/or Styling appointments take approximately 1 hour. Colour/Highlighting appointments can range from approximately 3-5 hours. For transformations, it may take longer and we will let you know of timing once known, If we need to reschedule for such a big job this will be communicated with you.
