HAIR EXTENSIONS

​

Please note, all hair extensions must be returned still attached to the original card and binds. If you have removed the original card or binds, we are unable to re-sell the item as new and therefore will not accept returns on the item.

 

We take pride in adhering to strict quality control procedures. On the rare occasion that you may receive faulty hair extensions, this must be reported within a maximum of 30 days of the receipt date; This is due to human hair being a consumable item during wear. We only recommend the use of Nude London Aftercare products with Ariela Hair or Nude London hair extensions and cannot guarantee the quality of any Ariela Hair or Nude London hair extensions with other formulas. Nude London Aftercare products must be purchased at the time of purchasing the hair extensions. Any hair returned to be tested for alleged quality issues must be accompanied by original proof of purchase for both the hair extensions and aftercare products.

As well as the Returns Form, all hair extension returns also require a fully completed Hair Report Form. Any goods received without the appropriate paperwork will not be processed until the correct paperwork is received. Failure to provide the completed paperwork within 90 days will result in the goods being disposed of.

We will not test any hair extensions that have been coloured, tinted or chemically altered; all hair extensions must be returned in the original product colour. Hair extensions must be posted back to us within 7 days of the complaint being made (proof of delivery will be required), and will then be examined and inspected. Goods are not considered faulty if their condition deteriorates due to poor hair management or poor application of extensions. If no fault is present, or the hair has been damaged, coloured or altered in any way, the goods will be returned to the customer at your cost and we will not issue a refund or replace the goods. Please note that testing of faulty hair extensions can take up to 30 days depending on whether the hair can be tested at our London headquarters or if it requires testing by our factory partners.

We cannot guarantee the use of Ariela Hair or Nude London hair extensions whilst on holiday/in warmer climates for various reasons, including discolouration of the hair when coming into contact with swimming pool chlorine and the hair drying out through excess heat. We strongly advise all customers using hair extensions to avoid both submerging hair in chlorine and sea water as this can damage hair and hair colour. Use a hard water treatment, hair care containing SPF sun protection, tie hair up and cover with a swimming cap as a precaution.

Any colouring of hair extensions is done entirely at the customers own risk and we will not test, refund or exchange any extensions that have been coloured, dyed, toned or tinted.

Ariela Hair & Beauty Ltd will not be held responsible for any hair extensions that have been exposed to heat damage by the customer.

Ariela Hair & Beauty Ltd will not be held responsible for any additional expenses due to faulty goods e.g. loss of income or removal/re-application costs.
