Terms & Conditions
Booking, payment, cancellation, service, disclosure, and dispute terms for appointments and inquiries submitted through Kimberly Gareeb Booking.
Booking and confirmation
Appointments are confirmed only after the required deposit is paid or, where no deposit is required, after the booking request is submitted and accepted. Availability shown on the site can change until confirmation is issued.
Hairstyling and Hindu bridal styling inquiry submissions are quote requests only. They do not create a confirmed booking, reserved time slot, or payment obligation until Kim follows up and a deposit is paid.
Deposits and payment methods
Where a deposit is required, it secures the appointment slot and is applied to the service price. The balance is payable at the appointment unless the confirmation says otherwise.
A 50% deposit is required to secure all Scalp Soak Haus and Kimberly Gareeb Styling appointments. Your appointment is only confirmed once the deposit has been paid through the booking app. The remaining balance is payable on the day of your treatment before your service. Deposits are required because each treatment slot is reserved exclusively for the client. Due to the specialised nature and duration of our treatments, last-minute cancellations are difficult to refill and may result in a loss of income for the business.
The checkout or confirmation page shows the available payment method for the selected service, which may include online payment, pay-on-arrival, cash, or card in studio.
The payment options available in studio are : Instant EFT, FNB Geo-payment , cash, PayPal or card machine. ( Proof of payment must be sent to Kim where card or cash payments are not made). Your bill must be settled prior to leaving the studio.
Cancellation, late arrival, rescheduling and no-show policy
We kindly ask that clients give as much notice as possible if they need to cancel or reschedule an appointment.
Cancellations or rescheduling with 48 hours or more notice: Your deposit may be transferred to a new appointment date, subject to availability.
Cancellations or rescheduling with less than 48 hours’ notice: The 50% deposit may be forfeited as a reasonable cancellation fee, as the reserved appointment slot may be difficult to refill at short notice.
Same-day cancellations or no-shows: Same-day cancellations and no-shows will result in the full deposit being forfeited or not being able to book with me again.
Late arrivals: Please arrive on time for your appointment. Please notify Kimberly if you are running late so she can adjust her schedule to accommodate as best as possible- where this is not possible, your treatment time may need to be shortened to avoid affecting the next client. The full treatment price will still apply. If you are excessively late and we are unable to proceed with the treatment, this may be treated as a same-day cancellation.
Refunds and booking fairness
Scalp Soak Haus: Deposits are non-refundable for late cancellations, same-day cancellations, and no-shows. However, Scalp Soak Haus may consider a refund or transfer of the deposit in exceptional circumstances, at management’s discretion.
