Section 1
Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law
In short
Our treatments, memberships and products come with guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL). These terms sit on top of those rights. They never replace them.
What the law guarantees. Our services must be provided with due care and skill, be fit for any purpose you told us about, and be finished within a reasonable time. Our products must be of acceptable quality, safe, and match their description.
If something goes wrong:
- A minor problem: we fix it, free, within a reasonable time. If we can't or don't, you can have it fixed elsewhere at our cost, or cancel and be compensated for the drop in value.
- A major problem: you choose. Cancel and get your money back for what wasn't provided properly, or keep it and pay less. For a faulty product, choose a refund or a replacement.
- You can also claim compensation for other loss you could reasonably have expected.
These rights apply whether you paid by card, Afterpay, Zip, bank deposit or cash. Read more at accc.gov.au.
Section 2
Salon treatments and bookings
In short
A deposit holds your appointment and comes off your treatment. Give us at least 48 hours' notice to change it. Tell us about your hair and your health, and we confirm your price before we start.
2.1 Free consultations
Consultations are always free: about 10 minutes in the salon, or a video call where we call you on FaceTime or WhatsApp at the time you booked.
When you book a consultation online, the card you enter only holds the booking. It is never charged.
2.2 Deposits
- A $147 deposit secures any treatment booking. For Ultimate Fusion it's $197.
- Your deposit comes off the price of your treatment on the day.
- Membership treatments don't need a deposit.
2.3 Changing or cancelling
- Change your booking yourself with the link in your confirmation email, or text, call or email us.
- 48 hours' notice or more: we move your deposit to your new time, or refund it less the card fee we were charged on your payment.
- Less than 48 hours' notice: we keep your deposit. Your treatment takes several hours of our day, and we usually can't fill it at short notice.
- If something serious comes up, such as illness, talk to us. We look at every case fairly.
- If we need to cancel or move your appointment, we tell you as soon as we can, and move your deposit or refund it in full.
2.4 Arriving late or missing an appointment
- Please arrive 10 minutes early, with dry hair.
- If you're more than 20 minutes late, we may need to shorten, change or move your treatment. If we have to move it, it counts as a change with less than 48 hours' notice.
- If you miss your appointment without telling us, we keep your deposit, and next time we ask you to pay for your treatment in full when you book.
2.5 Your price
- Treatment prices start from the amounts on our pricing page. Your price depends on your hair's length, amount and texture.
- We confirm your price at your consultation, before we start. Once we've started, it doesn't change.
- If we find something during your treatment that needs extra work, we stop and ask you first. You only pay for extra work you agree to.
- If our prices change after you've booked, the price we quoted you stays.
2.6 What to tell us before your treatment
Please tell us about anything that could affect your hair or scalp:
- medical conditions and medicines;
- pregnancy or breastfeeding;
- allergies or sensitivities;
- scalp problems;
- previous chemical treatments, including relaxers, perms, Japanese straightening, box dye, henna and bleach.
If you've had a relaxer, perm or Japanese straightening before, send us a photo first. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, our treatments haven't been tested for this, so we can't promise either way. Please check with your doctor first.
We can only plan for what we know. If something you didn't tell us affects your result, it may limit what our guarantee covers. Your rights under the ACL still apply.
2.7 Strand tests, and when we say no
- We may do a strand test before your treatment.
- We will decline, change or stop a treatment if we believe it isn't safe for your hair or scalp. If we decline before we start, we refund your deposit or move it to a treatment that suits you.
- Some people with a sensitive scalp notice a little oiliness or flaking for a few days afterwards.
2.8 Your results
- Every head of hair is different. How straight your hair goes, and how long it lasts, depend on its condition, its history and your aftercare.
- The times we give, such as 4–6 months for Keratin, are typical, not guaranteed.
- Before you pay, we tell you what we can promise for your hair. That promise is what our Happy Hair Guarantee covers.
2.9 Children and teenagers
- Our treatments are for clients aged 8 and over.
- Clients under 18 need written consent from a parent or guardian, who stays with them for the appointment.
2.10 Photos of your hair
- We may photograph your hair to plan and record your treatment. These photos stay private.
- We only share photos of you, on our website or social media, with your written consent. You can withdraw it at any time.
Section 3
30-Day Happy Hair Guarantee
In short
If your hair isn't doing what we said it would within 30 days, we treat it again at no cost. It covers our smoothing and straightening treatments, including membership treatments, and it's in addition to your rights under the ACL.
3.1 What it covers
Express Smoothing, Keratin, Plex Nanoplasty and Ultimate Fusion, including treatments that are part of a membership. It covers the result we promised for your hair at your consultation, for 30 days from your treatment.
3.2 What it doesn't cover
- Products, DIY kits (including the Keratin Treatment Starter Kit) and gift cards.
- Changes caused by bleach or henna after your treatment, or by colour or toner we didn't apply or agree to.
- A treatment wearing out over time, or a result different from the one we promised.
3.3 Keeping your guarantee
For the 30 days after your treatment, please:
- use Terreamer shampoo and conditioner (our Pure Hydration or Deep Fortifying range);
- don't bleach or henna your hair, and have any colour or toner done by us, or check with us first;
- rinse your hair after the pool or the beach;
- come in for a check-in if we ask.
If one of these wasn't possible, tell us anyway. We'll look at your hair and tell you honestly what we can do. Your rights under the ACL still apply.
3.4 How to claim
- Within 30 days of your treatment, text a photo of your hair to 0493 309 849 or email info@terreamer.com.au, with your name and treatment date.
- We reply within 2 business days and book a time to see your hair.
- If your hair isn't doing what we said it would, we treat it again at no cost, at a time that suits you.
3.5 What a claim costs you
The re-treatment and everything we use for it are free. Your only cost is getting to the salon. If you have other reasonable costs in making a claim, send us the receipts and we refund them.
3.6 Who gives this guarantee
TERRE A MER Pty Ltd trading as Terreamer, ABN 30 397 981 224
Shop 2, 456 St Kilda Rd, Melbourne VIC 3004 · 1300 824 685 · info@terreamer.com.au
The benefits of this guarantee are in addition to your other rights and remedies under the law.
The law asks us to include this wording
Our services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. For major failures with the service, you are entitled:
- to cancel your service contract with us; and
- to a refund for the unused portion, or to compensation for its reduced value.
You are also entitled to be compensated for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. If the failure does not amount to a major failure, you are entitled to have problems with the service rectified in a reasonable time and, if this is not done, to cancel your contract and obtain a refund for the unused portion of the contract.
Section 4
Memberships
In short
A membership is a year of planned hair care, paid once. It's personal to you, lasts 12 months and doesn't renew by itself. After the first 7 days, we don't refund it if you change your mind or don't use it. Your ACL rights always apply.
Key terms at a glance
- Paid once. Valid for 12 months. It doesn't renew automatically.
- Personal to you. It can't be transferred or exchanged for cash.
- Changed your mind within 7 days, before any treatment or products? We refund you, less the card fee. After that, there's no refund if you change your mind, move away or don't use your treatments. This doesn't affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
- Can't have treatments for medical reasons, pregnancy or breastfeeding? With a medical certificate, we pause it once, for up to 3 months, and extend your year.
- If we can't provide your treatments, we refund the unused value.

- *Women's memberships. Men's memberships include the same treatments without trims, tonal adjustments or blow-outs.
- Your price depends on your hair, and is shown in the membership builder before you join.
- We plan your year's treatments with you at your first visit.
4.2 When it starts and ends
- Your membership lasts 12 months from its start date: the day you order (card or Afterpay), the day your payment arrives (bank deposit), or the day you pay in the salon (cash).
- It doesn't renew automatically. If you'd like another year, you choose to join again.
- Treatments you haven't used by the end of your 12 months expire and have no cash value, so please book them in good time.
4.3 Booking your treatments
- We contact you within one business day of joining to book your first treatment.
- Book your membership treatments with us, subject to availability. We offer enough appointments for your year's treatments to fit within your 12 months.
- We plan the spacing between your treatments with you, so your hair gets the most from each one.
4.4 Changing or missing a membership appointment
- Please give us at least 48 hours' notice to change an appointment.
- Each change with less than 48 hours' notice, and each missed appointment, costs $147, the same as a treatment deposit. The treatment itself stays in your membership.
4.5 Pausing for health reasons
- If you can't have treatments for medical reasons, pregnancy or breastfeeding, we pause your membership and add the paused time to your end date.
- You can pause once per membership, for up to 3 months, with a medical certificate.
4.6 If you change your mind
- Within 7 days of joining: if you haven't had a treatment or received any products, we refund you, less the card fee we were charged on your payment.
- After that: we don't give refunds if you change your mind, move away or don't use your treatments. This doesn't affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
4.7 When we refund
- If we can't provide your treatments (for example, if the salon closes for good), or if there's a major problem with our service, you can cancel and we refund the unused value of your membership. You can also claim compensation for other reasonably foreseeable loss under the ACL.
- Unused value is your membership price times the share of your membership's value you haven't received. Each treatment counts at its single price, so a Fusion counts for more than a Premium Keratin or Plex Nanoplasty.
- Products we've already given you are yours to keep.
4.8 If life changes: hardship
- If something serious happens, such as an illness that stops treatments for the rest of your year, or a move interstate, talk to us. We may offer a partial refund as a goodwill gesture.
- If we do, treatments you've had are charged at single-treatment prices, and products and the travel pack at their value. We refund the rest, less the card fee we were charged on your payment.
- This is our choice to offer, and separate from your rights in 4.7.
4.9 Payment perks
- Card: a free Deep Fortifying travel pack, given at your first visit.
- Bank deposit: your member discount goes up by 5% (to 15%, 20% or 25%).
- Cash in the salon: 5% off your membership price.
- Afterpay: available at checkout when your membership is within Afterpay's limits. No perk.
- Perks apply once your payment has arrived and hasn't been reversed. If your membership is refunded or the payment is reversed, perks and your member discount stop.
- For a cooling-off or goodwill refund, we deduct the value of any perks you've used. We never deduct them from a refund the ACL requires.
4.10 Your member discount
- 10%, 15% or 20%, depending on your membership, on full-price products and services, in the salon and online.
- It doesn't apply to bundles, sets, items already discounted, gift cards or another membership.
- Online: use your personal member code. It works with the email on your membership, and stops 12 months after your membership order.
- Your direct family (partner, children, parents and siblings) can use your discount in the salon when they book under your membership. Online, place the order with your own code and email.
4.11 Changes we can make
- We don't change your membership price during your 12 months.
- If a treatment or product is discontinued, we replace it with one of equal or better value. The team member who looks after you may change.
- If we ever need to make another change that's worse for you, we tell you first, and you can cancel and get a refund of the unused value.
4.12 If the salon can't open
- If we have to close for a time, for example because of events outside our control, we add the closed time to your end date.
- If we can't provide your treatments at all, we refund the unused value.
4.13 Ending a membership
We only end a membership for a serious reason, such as abuse of our team, fraud, or sharing a member code publicly. If we do, we refund the unused value.
4.14 Results and suitability
- Results depend on your hair's condition, history and aftercare. How long a treatment lasts is typical, not guaranteed.
- If a treatment isn't safe for your hair, we swap it for one that suits you, pause your membership, or refund the unused value of that treatment.
- Every membership treatment is covered by our 30-Day Happy Hair Guarantee.
4.15 Buying for someone else, and members under 18
- A membership is personal to the member named on it. To buy one as a gift, contact us first. We set it up in their name and send the member code to them.
- Members under 18 need a parent or guardian to sign their consultation form.
4.16 Agreeing to these terms
- You agree to these membership terms when you tick the box before checkout. The version you agree to applies for your whole membership.
