Appointment Cancellation Policy / Terms Of Business

We would like to keep our relationship with our valued customers as flexible as possible. We have had in the past and present people not honouring appointments, usually first appointmets are the culprit. Although we try to vet good custom from the unfavourable it isn't always an easy task. The consequeces of not honouring an appointment without letting us know in time to give that appointment to somebody else costs us money, and comprimises our business.

Please read and understand our Tterms of Business and Appointment Cancellation Policy before using any of our services.
Lorna and I would like to thank whole heartedly all those customers (our friends) who have supported us over the years. Not forgetting Bernard.
Hounds International Grooming Salons endeavor to provide a quality assured grooming service for our valued customers. When an appointment is made that allotted time is tailored to your specific needs, we prepare in advance for your arrival and will afford you every courtesy in the scheduled time we provide our services to you.

Arriving promptly for appointments and giving us at least 24 hours notice prior to appointment cancellations will enable us to organise our daily business more effectively. Our ultimate objective is providing our customers with a superior quality assured service day in, day out.

We operate a strict appointment policy; we will not book more than two dogs for a grooming appointment at any one time unless those dogs come from the same home. We do not use cages or restrain customer pets during their time with us; if appointments do overlap your pets will be cared for individually by specifically trained staff in segregated areas of the salon. Customers can help us keep a stress free environment for their pets by collecting pets promptly.
  • Unless a missed appointment is paid for in full, we regret that no further appointments will be issued to any customer failing to notify the Salon at least 24 hours prior to any appointment cancellation.
  • We use a stringent booking system and unless proven otherwise, Hounds International Grooming Salons will accept no liability for appointment errors. Please ask for an appointment card during appointment bookings. We are happy to confirm in writing any appointments made.

YOUR DATA & PRIVACY

As we do not collect personal information of living human beings we are not bound by the policies and statements of the Data Protection Act. However we will not divulge, sell, or share any data collected from you unless expressly requested by a legal document.

TERMS OF BUSINESS

  • Bookings will not be accepted without a valid current contact number.
  • Appointment bookings are given on the understanding that your pet will be collected promptly. Unless pre-arranged, a charge of ₤6.00 will be applied for any late pick ups within the first half hour and ₤8.00 per half hour thereafter.

  • Customers wishing to have their dogs shaved will be asked to sign a consent form.Please do not feed your pet at least two hour prior to your Salon appointment, as they may vomit.
  • Although we do not discourage you from staying with your pet during the groom, we must however inform you that in our experience a pet will be more difficult for our groomer to control whilst in the presence of its owner. In this situation we will not be liable for any dissatisfaction you may have with the end cut.
  • Grooming prices are dependent on the size, breed and temperament of your pet. A guide price will be offered as part of the appointment booking process. On the initial consultation your pet will be assessed by an experienced groomer for size, breed, temperament and the services you require. Hounds International Grooming Salons reserve the right to increase the grooming charge following the initial consultation.
  • We operate a zero tolerance policy and reserve the right to refuse services to and will seek prosecution of those who use violence and aggression towards any member of staff, customers, persons using our facilities and damage to our premises.
  • If your dog has fleas it is recommended that you treat your pet prior to your Salon appointment. A charge of ₤15.00 will be applied to your grooming charge if your dog visits the Salon with fleas.
  • Please make sure that any tags attached to your pets’ collar are secure. Please also check that these tags are attached when you pick up your dog. We will not accept any liability for missing/lost tags.
  • Hounds International Grooming Salons reserve the right to alter the Appointment Cancellation Policy & Terms of Business without notice.
