Why does my booking say "requested"?

Some beauty pros accept each booking themselves. Your card is held, not charged, until they do.

Updated

Some beauty pros like to accept new clients, or every booking, themselves. When you book with one of them, your booking is a request.

  • Nothing is taken yet. We place a hold on your card for the deposit instead. Your bank may show it as pending.
  • If they accept, the deposit is taken and your booking is confirmed. We tell you straight away.
  • If they decline, or do not answer within 24 hours (or half the time left before the appointment, if that is sooner), the hold is released and you pay nothing.
  • You can withdraw a request from your booking at any time before they answer, and the hold is released.

How quickly a released hold disappears from your statement is up to your bank, usually a few days.
