This section outlines our frequently asked questions, commitment to customer satisfaction and circumstances where we may respectfully decline services to ensure safety, quality and professional standards.
Service information
We happily accept walk-in bookings at our salons, but to ensure you don’t miss out on your desired service, we recommend booking in advance. You can easily make a booking through our website, app, or by phone or email.
A quick reminder- we can only perform colour services if you’ve had an allergy test at a Blue Tit London salon within the last six months.
We welcome consultation bookings for any of our services. They’re a great way to meet your stylist, assess your hair’s condition, and ensure the service is right for you.
During your consultation, we’ll discuss ideas, review options and pricing, and explain the process, costs, and maintenance involved.
Consultations are required if you’re planning a major change, or booking a colour correction, virgin bleach or extensions appointment. To arrange yours, simply give us a call and we’ll be happy to book you in.
In the UK, it’s a legal requirement to have an allergy test at least 48 hours before any colour service. This isn’t needed if you’ve had a colour service or allergy test with us in the last 6 months. Please note we cannot accept waiver forms or allergy tests from other salons, as our products may differ.
You’re welcome to pop into any Blue Tit London location during opening hours for an allergy test – no appointment needed. We do recommend calling ahead if you plan to drop by. Booking your allergy test also gives us the chance to offer a complimentary consultation, helping you get ready for your upcoming colour service.
Please let us know about any allergies or health conditions that could be triggered by an allergy test.
To make sure your colour looks perfect, we ask that you book a blow dry, natural dry, or cut & finish alongside a colour appointment. This way, we can check everything is just right. Every service comes with our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
We offer fringe trims to keep your hair looking fresh. We don’t take bookings online – just call your local salon on the day you’d like to pop in, and we’ll let you know the next available slot.
If you’ve had a Blue Tit London haircut in the last 3 months, your fringe trim is complimentary at any location. If it’s been longer, or you’re new to Blue Tit London, please check our price list for the cost.
Arrival: Please come with a clean, dry fringe styled as you normally wear it.
Service scope: A fringe trim is for hair already cut above the cheekbone.
Not included: This service does not cover face framing, layering, long ‘bang’ styles, or styles that require blending into the rest of your hair.
For new fringes or more shaping: If you’d like to add a fringe or need extra styling beyond a simple trim, please book a Cut & Finish appointment.
Timing: We aim to see you as close to your chosen time as possible, but a short wait
may be needed until a stylist becomes available.
We offer ‘quiet services’ should you prefer to work, read, or enjoy limited conversation during your appointment. This option can be requested when booking through any of our booking methods.
We are pleased to offer toddler cuts for children under the age of 5, which include wetting down the hair, a haircut, and a rough dry. Additionally, we provide children’s cuts for those under 13, which include a wash and dry. Our goal is to ensure a pleasant and professional experience for both children and parents during each visit.
Once you’ve booked, you’ll get a confirmation email within 30 minutes. We’ll also send a friendly email and SMS reminder 48 hours before your appointment.
If your appointment is rescheduled, cancelled, or missed, you’ll receive an email notification so you’re always kept up to date.
To secure your booking with us, we require your card details. This ensures that your appointment is confirmed and helps us manage our scheduling effectively. Your information is stored safely through Zenoti Payments, which employs advanced security measures to protect your data. Rest assured, we prioritise your privacy and the security of your payment information.
Our salons operate on a cashless basis, so we only accept card payments. Unfortunately, we are unable to accept American Express. Thank you for your understanding.
If you arrive more than 15 minutes late to your appointment, we may need to reschedule the service to ensure we can maintain our high standard of care. We’ll do our best to arrange a new time as soon as possible.
If you expect to be late, please call the salon directly, and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.
We kindly ask for at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. Cancellations or changes made within 24 hours of the appointment may result in a charge for the full service. If an appointment is missed without notice, the full cost of the service will apply. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Academy & vardering appointments
Our Academy appointments give our trainees and stylists crucial hands-on experience under the direct supervision of expert educators. As you are joining us as a training model, there are a few key things to keep in mind:
Timing: Training services naturally take a little longer than standard salon visits, and stylists may occasionally run behind schedule.
Stylist assignment: To support specific training modules, your assigned stylist may change before or during your visit.
Hair suitability: Our educators will assess your hair upon arrival. If it isn’t suitable for the scheduled lesson, we reserve the right to adjust or cancel the service.
Outcomes: Results reflect the stylist’s current stage of training, so finishes may differ from a standard commercial salon service.
Yes, your safety comes first! Just like our main salon services, colour appointments at the Academy require a valid patch test. Please ensure one of the following applies:
-
You’ve had a patch test or colour service at any Blue Tit salon within the last 6 months.
-
You pop into a Blue Tit salon at least 48 hours before your appointment for a quick patch test (no booking needed).
Please note: If you haven’t completed a patch test at least 48 hours in advance, we will unfortunately have to cancel your booking.
We want every model to have a positive experience, but as these are training sessions, all feedback, complaints, and redo requests are managed exclusively by the Blue Tit Academy.
-
We do not offer monetary refunds or complimentary corrective services at our main commercial salons.
-
Any complimentary follow-up or adjustment services will be fulfilled solely at the Academy.
For further information, please visit our Academy Page.
Yes, photography or video filming may take place during your visit for training, assessment, and educational or promotional purposes. Rest assured, all imagery is handled securely in line with the Data Protection Act and our Blue Tit GDPR policy.
The Academy operates under standard Blue Tit salon policies. We maintain a warm, welcoming environment for everyone and enforce a strict zero-tolerance policy regarding abuse or inappropriate behaviour. You can read full details in our Right to Refuse Service Policy.
Vardering appointments allow new or experienced stylists joining Blue Tit to complete our internal trade testing and brand training. These sessions ensure every team member masters our signature techniques and high standards before taking on main-floor clients.
Customer satisfaction
At Blue Tit London, our goal is to ensure every client leaves delighted with their salon experience. We strive to deliver exceptional results across all services, and on the rare occasion that a client is not fully satisfied, we welcome feedback and take it seriously.
We have a dedicated complaints process in place to address any issues, make adjustments as needed, and use all feedback to continually improve our services, systems, and training.
If you’re unsatisfied with a service, please reach out to us either during your visit or within two weeks of your appointment. You can contact us directly at the salon, by phone, via your salon’s email, or at customerservice@bluetitlondon.com.
We promise to handle all feedback with care and aim to resolve complaints within eight weeks. If your complaint is deemed reasonable, we’ll arrange for a complimentary follow-up service, adjusting part or all of your original service at no extra charge. While we encourage you to return to the same stylist, we’re happy to arrange for an alternate stylist or location if preferred.
Please note, complimentary follow-ups are unavailable if you’ve visited a non-Blue Tit London salon, applied new colour, or altered your haircut since your appointment, as we reserve the right to assess the results of the original service. Our cancellation policy applies to any complimentary services- we request 48hrs notice if you are unable to attend, or we will not be able to rebook this service as complimentary.
We do not offer refunds for services. However, if you’re not fully satisfied, we’re dedicated to making it right by providing a complimentary follow-up service to address any concerns. Our team will work closely with you to ensure your expectations are met, and we can arrange a follow-up appointment with the same or a different stylist if preferred. Please reach out within two weeks of your original service so we can discuss any adjustments needed.
Your feedback is essential to helping us continually enhance our salons, systems, and services with you in mind. To share your thoughts, please feel free to email our customer service team.

Any form of sexual harassment, including inappropriate comments, gestures, or behaviour directed toward our team or other clients, will result in an immediate refusal of service. Anyone witnessing or experiencing such behaviour is encouraged to report it without fear of retaliation.

Those who have been previously banned for reasons such as misconduct or theft will not be permitted service.
Service may be refused if there is a history of unpaid bills or unresolved payments until the matter is settled.
Clients are expected to comply with our policies, such as maintaining non-smoking areas. Non-compliance may lead to service refusal. Smoking includes tobacco and ecigarettes/vaping.
If we reach our legal capacity, entry may be temporarily restricted to adhere to safety regulations and ensure everyone’s safety.
