| Customers & Services | |
| I only provide specific services (e.g. braids). Can I list just these services on NinjA'fro? | Yes - you can list the services you want NinjA'fro customers to see. If there are services you currently provide that you don't want listed on NinjA'fro, that's fine too. |
| I also provide services to customers with non afro and mix textured hair. Can I list these too? | While we are supporters of inclusion, we also understand the lack of salons / stylists who are able to cater to afro hair and mix textured hair. We intentionally decided to design NinjA'fro for this underserved part of the community. Many of our stylists do offer services outside afro and mix textured hair, however these services will need to be listed on other platforms. |
| Where can I raise my concerns if I have an issue to resolve with a customer? | If you have any concerns at all, please get in touch with your NinjA'fro representative. We are happy to discuss with you directly. |
| Payments & Deposits | |
| A customer has just cancelled their appointment. Will I receive a refund? | We encourage all customers to attend their appointments on time, however we also know that there are sometimes issues that cannot be avoided. If a customer cancels their appointment outside the cancellation period (before 48 hours of the appointment), you will only be entitled to part of the customer's online deposit if you requested a Service Partner Deposit. Review the Service Partner Terms of Business for further details. |
| When will I be paid the remaining amount for the service? |
This will depend on if you requested a Service Partner Deposit. If you did not request a Service Partner Deposit, customers will pay their NinjA'fro Deposit online. Once you complete the service, the customer will be required to pay you the remaining amount (using your preferred payment method). If you requested a Service Partner Deposit, you will receive this as part of the monthly invoicing process. The customer will still be required to pay you the remaining amount once the service is completed. |
| I don't agree with a customer's feedback. Can I block this? | We encourage customers to leave honest and accurate feedback of their experiences with stylists and salons. If you don't agree with feedback or ratings, you can get in touch with your NinjA'fro representative. |
