Why do I have to pay in advance?

Glad you asked. We’re always on a mission to create the perfect hair & beauty experience - from enabling you to book an appointment 24/7, to managing it on the go. Having the flexibility to reschedule and cancel your appointments is one of the biggest perks Treatwell is proud to offer you. 

Of course, managing appointments in this way – rescheduling and cancelling – impacts our salon Partners (the professionals who work hard to deliver their best service). If we see unusual behaviour from a client, like not turning up or cancelling frequently, at short notice, it’s our responsibility to step in.

If you’ve made several last-minute cancellations, missed multiple appointments, or already have two ‘Pay at venue’ bookings coming up, you’ll need to pay for your appointment before attending it.

Often our salons are independent businesses, so failing to attend an appointment, or cancelling last-minute affects more than just their schedule – they’ve kept that slot just for you, after all. By introducing pre-pay at this stage, we can reduce the impact on business owners, while continuing to give our clients the perfect hair & beauty experience.
