Common Questions
Booking Policy FAQs
How far in advance should I book an appointment?
For short services like lineups and beard trims, same-day or next-day availability is often possible. For haircuts, booking 1–3 days ahead is generally sufficient. Colour, keratin, and complex services — especially those requiring a longer appointment block — may require more lead time, particularly for weekend slots. Call (807) 577-5621 to check current availability if you have a specific date in mind.
What is the cancellation and rescheduling approach?
If your plans change, call (807) 577-5621 as soon as possible. Giving adequate notice allows The District Salon & Barber to offer the appointment slot to another guest. Last-minute cancellations affect the team and other guests waiting for availability. The District Salon & Barber does not currently charge a cancellation fee, but repeated late cancellations may affect future booking priority. When in doubt, call — do not simply miss the appointment.
What happens if I arrive late?
Arriving late compresses the time available for your service. Depending on how late you arrive and what service is scheduled, your team member may need to adjust what can be completed in the remaining time. Call (807) 577-5621 as soon as you know you will be late — this gives the salon the best chance to manage the appointment correctly. For more on the general visit flow, see the what to expect page.
