At Pom Poms Children’s Salon, we are always committed to providing the highest standards. Being a unique business, with a primary focus on children, our priority is to keep everyone, especially all vulnerable populations safe from spreading and contracting virus', and other infectious diseases while visiting this salon.  Alongside the regulations and guidelines set by our local public health unit and municipal, provincial and federal governments, we have our own safety protocols in place to attempt to keep everyone safe when visiting and as a result of visiting with us! We require our guests to be obliging and respectful of these!

​

We appreciate that you are all eager to visit us and we truly appreciate your continued support and cooperation, while we are happy to serve you for your family's haircut services and haircare products .

CANCELLATION POLICY:

We accept cancellations up to 2 hours before the reserved appointment time, at no charge.  However, please be considerate of our business, as Pom Poms Children’s Salon continues to sacrifice. And with our continued commitment to the safety, and well-being of our staff, families and valued patrons, and awareness of risks imposed by infectious diseases, the business continues to endure the stresses of operations and logistics during the ongoing challenging times as we strive to continue to offer courteous, quality service.  We are asking that you give us as much notice as possible, by phoning the salon or electronically cancelling or rescheduling by selecting the appropriate tab on your appointment confirmation/reminder emails, if you are unable to make it to the appointment(s) which has/have been exclusively reserved for you/your family.  

 

As always, an unexcused missed appointment (“no show”), causes financial and scheduling strain to overall salon operations. Please be considerate! 

A NO SHOW FEE OR LATE CANCELLATION FEE WILL APPLY.

An unexcused missed appointment may result in longer wait times for rebooking with Pom Poms Children’s Salon.

For recurring/ multiple "no-shows", the client will be "blocked" from reserving their future appointment(s) in advance. However, we'll gladly offer same-day appointments when time allows through cancellations. Such appointments may be booked by phoning the salon. There's no guarantee for available appointments on short notice.

​

Thank you for your continued patience, kindness and support during these unprecedented times!
