As the service provider our aim is to run on schedule. However we are aware that unexpectedly life can get in the way and both clients or our team can run late. For this reason we offer our clients a 20 minute cut off period from the scheduled booking time before having to reschedule the appointment. In return we ask that you are equally as understanding when our team are running late for your appointment.

Cancellation  Policy

**  No-shows and last minute cancellations are a huge disruption to both our business and other clients. They mean that clients on our waiting list miss out on appointments and our team miss out on income. To prevent no shows and last minute cancellations, we do send text reminders at least 48hrs prior to your booked appointment. We request that you advise us of your inability to attend your appointment or any rescheduling plans, when you receive your reminder.  Our expert cutters & colourists dedicate their time specifically to look after you, and we ask that you understand and respect the commitment you make when booking with us. 

NEW CLIENTS – A $50 NON-REFUNDABLE BOOKING FEE IS REQUIRED FOR EACH SERVICE BOOKED 

• to avoid loosing  the booking fee, please provide a cancellation notice at least 24hrs before your appointment by email ( appointment@shibui.com.au) or call us on (03) 9820 9130 
• no-shows for appointments booked on the day will also result in loss of booking fees.

If you do not wish to pay a booking fee you are more than welcome to try your luck on the day – however please know that we are unable to allocate a specific stylist or time slot for you in advance unless a booking fee is paid.

We sincerely appreciate your understanding and we will continue to try to keep things fair for all of our clients.

All haircut and colour services include a complimentary low fuss shibui blow dry finish or you can book this as a stand-alone service – because let’s face it, sometimes it’s just nice having someone do your hair for you

To help extend the life of your haircut shibui offers a complimentary fringe trim service as long as it is within 8 weeks of your last shibui haircut service. Bookings are only available at certain times and with certain cutters. We do not offer fringe trims as a paid service if a client falls outside of the above conditions.

To help extend the life of a barbered haircut shibui offers a complimentary neck trim service as long as it is within 4 weeks of your last shibui haircut service. Bookings are only available at certain times and with certain cutters. We do not offer neck trims as a paid service if a client falls outside of the above conditions.

shibui hair ‘dressers’ prefer to commence the service with the hair in a clean, dry state, leaving ample time for prepping and styling. We ask that you arrive with your hair freshly washed that morning or the day prior. If this is inconvenient, or you enjoy the shampoo aspect of a visit, please request that time is allocated for a complementary shampoo prior to your hair ‘dressing’ appointment.

Please note that Bridal party booking (2 clients or more) require a 50% deposit upon booking confirmation.

shibui offers complimentary adjustment services within the first week or two after your service. Simply telephone the salon and explain to one of our reception team what the issue is and they will assess whether it falls under our adjustment policy and then arrange an appointment time for any adjustments that may be required.
