For transparency, listed are the business services we provide and how each service uses the information we collect.

Hair and beauty related services

We request the minimum level of personally identifying information to run our business effectively. This is data you provide us directly, for example, your name and contact details. We will never obtain information about you indirectly from sources outside our business. We store notes with respect to services we undertake to ensure we maintain and exceed our level of service. For example, your treatment preferences, products used, colour formula codes, how you like your coffee and who your favourite therapists are.

We consider you have provided consent for us to store personally identifying information and information about your services based on your receiving services from us.

Due to the services we are providing we are required by our insurance to ask questions related to your medical history. We will obtain your consent prior to storing information related to your medical history. Examples of medical data may be allergies, pregnancy or any medical conditions, contraindications or injury that may impact our service.  In some cases, we are required to request GP Consent before we are able to provide services.

We will not undertake phone, mail, email or SMS marketing without you first providing consent for us to do so. Our marketing campaigns are automated and use rules based on services and products purchased and information we collect from you. For example, we may send marketing campaigns related to your birthday, the fact we miss you (you have not visited for 3 months) and other special days like Valentine’s Day and Christmas. Of course, you may opt out of receiving marketing material at any time.
