At koocachoo we like to ensure that every client of ours has the best opportunity to have a highly professional service in a friendly and courteous atmosphere. For us to achieve this we would kindly ask all of our clientele to keep in mind the following etiquette tips.
Cancellations and Missed Appointments
We understand that there are always occasions when life gets hectic and plans have to change. However, we are a busy salon and it is unfair on both our staff and other clients when a client cancels last minute or misses their appointment. We therefore have the below policies in place.
If less than 24 hours notice is given to cancel or reschedule your treatment we reserve the right to charge 50% of the treatment fee.
For no shows to appointments or last minute short notice cancellations on the day, we reserve the right to charge 100% of the treatment fee.
These charges will be applied to your account and charge to you at your next visit.
Please note, that if you cancel or miss an appointment with less than 24 hours’ notice, we have the right to request payment in part or full for any future appointments that you make in advance at the time of booking.
This policy forms part of our terms and conditions that you agree to when using koocachoos services.
Deposits For Treatments
We require 50% deposit for larger bookings and for all new clients that book in for their first initial treatment with us where the treatment time is over 1hour.
Deposits can be made over the phone at the time of booking, or in person at the salon prior to the treatment date.
If you Cancel your appointment with more than 24 hours’ notice, deposits are refunded in full.
Any exceptions to the above are at the manager’s discretion.
Sun Bed Courses
We do not permit any of our sun bed courses to be shared between clients.
Sunbed courses are valid for 1 year from the date of purchase.
Sunbed Missed Appointments (Course Clients)
Sun Bed Courses: If you miss your sun bed course appointment, your tanning course minutes will automatically be deducted from your account.
Sun Beds Are For Over 18’s Only
If you are lucky enough to look under 25, ID will be required on your first visit.
There are no exceptions to this rule, so please come prepared otherwise we will have to turn you away.
We only accept the following forms of ID:
- Provisional Driving Licence / Driving Licence

Online Booking
You can cancel or change your booking online in My Booking History up to 24 hours in advance of your visit. If you fail to adhere to our 24-hour online booking cancellation policy, we have the right to charge you the balance of your booking amount left to pay in the salon by way of your online payment method.
Lateness
Please arrive early for your sun bed, beauty or hair treatment. Turning up late will shorten your treatment time if another client is booked in directly after you. For clients that turn up extremely late and were we are no longer able to carry out the treatment, we reserve the right to charge you the whole treatment fee.
Please bear in mind that if you are late, your treatment / sun bed will end on time so the next client isn’t delayed.
