Terms and Conditions

Please read and ensure you agree to the following before purchasing from the site.
The longevity of the semi-permanent pigments in our products sold here are dependent on your hairs colour and condition as well as environmental factors such as exposure to sunlight and, as such, we cannot guarantee that they will last for any specific time period. Shades stated on the site should be taken as a guide. Previous hair colours will affect the end result so please consider this before bleaching, especially where attempting to bleach out synthetic pigments. Always do a strand and sensitivity test before use. Colour swatches shown on the site should be taken as a guide only and therefore you should always perform a strand test before applying the colour to determine the end result.
1 STEP COLOUR will take no responsibility for any unexpected results or adverse effects caused by using the products sold on this site, nor will it be held responsible for damage to textiles or surfaces which may be caused through the use of the products sold here.
Always read the manufacturers instructions before use. Hair bleaching information provided on this site or through correspondence with us is intended only as a guide and should not be interpreted as professional advice. If in doubt please seek professional advice.
We have a list of ingredients and precautions for the products sold on this site. Please read these before purchasing any products. If you have any problems finding ingredients or precautions for a product please contact us and we will be happy to help. Always check the products packaging for an up-to-date ingredients list before use.

When returning items it is your responsibility to ensure they are received by us in good condition. You must email us in advance of returning the item(s). We recommend you use Recorded Delivery for small items and Special Delivery for higher valued returns. Please ensure the items are well packed to avoid damage.

If the product has been opened or damaged in any way we will be unable to provide a refund. For full details please see our shipping policy.
Please ensure that your address is full and correct as we cannot refund or replace items sent to an address incorrectly entered by the customer. UK orders must make sure both the house number/name and street name are present along with the post code. We do not use a postcode checker so entering your house number and post code may not be sufficient. If your area requires a phone number to facilitate delivery, please include it in the delivery address field when completing your order.
In the event that an order is returned or lost due to the customer's fault, eg customer failed to collect from sorting office or incorrect/incomplete address, 1 STEP COLOUR will refund the value of the goods only or request that the customer pays the postage costs for re-sending the order.
