Deposits & Refunds

Refund Policy

Effective Date: August 2, 2026. How the €5 booking deposit works and when it is refunded.

All San Andreaz Cutz appointments are booked through Fresha, our online booking partner. This Refund Policy explains how the €5 online booking deposit works, when it is refunded, and why it is non-refundable in most cases.

1.The €5 Booking Deposit

Every online appointment requires a €5 deposit, paid securely at the time of booking through Fresha. The deposit confirms and holds your slot.

The remaining balance for your service is paid in the shop by cash or Revolut.

Payments and deposits are handled by Fresha and its payment processor. This website does not take any payment for new bookings.

2.Why the Deposit Is Non-Refundable

We are a small independent barber shop with a limited number of chairs and a fixed number of appointments each day. When a slot is booked, it is removed from availability and no one else can take it.

  • No-shows and last-minute cancellations leave a barber sitting idle with no way to fill the time.
  • That lost time cannot be recovered — it directly costs the barber their earnings for that slot.
  • A small non-refundable deposit encourages customers to book only times they can genuinely attend, which keeps availability accurate for everyone.
  • It reduces repeat no-shows and fake bookings that block real customers.
  • Payment processing fees charged on the deposit are not returned to us.

The deposit is deliberately kept small (€5) so it is never a barrier to booking — it simply asks for a genuine commitment to the time you have reserved.

3.When You Cancel

You can cancel or reschedule your appointment at any time through Fresha, using the links in your Fresha confirmation or reminder email or in your Fresha account. Your slot is immediately released for other customers.

The €5 deposit is not refunded when you cancel or do not attend. This applies regardless of how much notice you give.

4.When We Cancel

If San Andreaz Cutz has to cancel your appointment — for example due to illness, an emergency, or unexpected closure — your €5 deposit is refunded in full to the card you paid with.

Refunds are issued through Fresha and typically appear on your statement within 5 to 10 business days, depending on your bank.

5.Duplicate or Incorrect Charges

If you were charged more than once, or believe a payment was taken in error, contact us on 085 737 6754 with your Fresha booking reference and we will investigate and arrange a refund of any incorrect charge.

6.Services Already Provided

Haircuts and grooming services are personal services performed at your request. Once a service has been carried out, it cannot be refunded. If you are not happy with your cut, please tell us before you leave the shop and we will do our best to put it right.

7.Your Statutory Rights

Nothing in this policy affects your statutory rights under Irish and EU consumer law. Because you are booking a service for a specific date and time, the standard 14-day cooling-off period for distance contracts does not apply once the appointment slot is reserved.
