Excellent Customer Service

I have been ordering from Salons Direct for years and they always been excellent so I have never required customer services. However I recently did have an issue with a product which was unusual but Abagail in Customer Services sorted this out immediately.

Order #1313097

I am contacting you regarding the Lotus Chrome Barber Pole I purchased from you.

Unfortunately, the barber pole is not working, and I am also concerned that the product does not appear to be as described on your website.

The product description states that it includes an internal transformer and a 4-metre power cable, with a low-voltage jack plug connection for straightforward installation. However, I have been unable to get the barber pole working with the supplied connection.

I would appreciate it if you could clarify the correct power supply and installation requirements, as the product does not appear to be working as expected.

As the item is faulty and does not appear to match the description provided, I would like you to advise me on the next steps for a replacement or refund.

I can see you have been in contact with our Customer Service team to discuss the issue and arrange the return. We can confirm that your returned item has been received and, as it was found to be faulty, your refund of £70.80 was processed today.

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and apologise for the inconvenience caused. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to resolve this for you.

Hi Diyar,

We're sorry to hear that you're unhappy with your items, as this is certainly not the experience we want our customers to have.

We haven't been able to locate any previous contact from you regarding an issue, so we have reached out to you via email directly to find out a little more about what has gone wrong.

We would really appreciate the opportunity to put things right. Once we have a better understanding of the issue, we can investigate this further with our supplier and work towards a suitable resolution.

Your satisfaction is important to us, and we hope to hear back from you soon.

Kind regards,
The Salons Direct Team

Poor Packaging

Poor Packaging – Needs Improvement

I’m disappointed with the packaging of these products. I’ve had issues with colour tubes coming out of their boxes, and bleach powder packets bursting, causing mess and unnecessary waste and unable to store properly.

As a hairdresser, I rely on products arriving in good condition and being properly packaged, especially when dealing with professional colour and bleach products. The packaging needs to be secure enough to prevent products coming loose or splitting during transit and storage.

This is frustrating when you’re trying to run a salon efficiently, and I feel the packaging standards need to be improved. I hope this feedback is taken on board to prevent the same issues happening with future orders.

I can see that our Customer Service Team is already dealing with you directly regarding this matter. In the meantime, I have forwarded the images you provided, along with your feedback, to the relevant Heads of Department for internal review.

We take feedback like this seriously, and your comments will be reviewed internally to help us assess where improvements may be needed to ensure products are packaged securely and arrive in the expected condition.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention and giving us the opportunity to review it.
