Good Morning! Here's hoping that July brings plenty of sunshine! 🌞 ...

✨ Friendly Reminder ✨

Living through the Covid-19 Pandemic and lockdown has had an unimaginable impact on all of our lives and our salons have felt this impact keenly.

Sadly, our salons have been experiencing a number of Late Cancellations and ‘No Show’ Appointments. This is unfortunate as once that appointment space has gone, they don’t have another opportunity to give it to someone who is patiently waiting to get booked in, with such little notice.

We understand that sometimes unexpected events occur that mean you need to rearrange your appointment. As such, we wanted to share a kindly reminder to please let your salon know if you are unable to attend your appointment and to advise you of our Cancellation Policy.

We request that all clients give at least 48 hours notice for Cancellations, so that salons have the opportunity to fill that appointment space. Our salons reserve the right to charge for appointments that are cancelled or unattended without notice.

If you have any questions relating to our cancellation policy, please do not hesitate to contact your local FG Salon. 😊

We want to thank you for your co-operation and patience through these times ✨

Let’s work together to revive our high streets once again! ...
