Is my deposit refundable?

Last updated: July 28, 2026

Yes, as long as you cancel more than 48 hours before your booking. Your deposit goes back to your original payment method automatically, and it usually lands within 3 to 5 working days.

Cancel with less than 48 hours to go and the salon can keep it. That isn’t us being difficult. Two days is roughly what a groomer needs to offer the slot to someone on their waiting list, and below that the space normally goes unfilled.

Many of the salons on Tuft are independent businesses, so a no-show or a last-minute cancellation costs them more than a gap in the diary. Deposits soften that.

Want to challenge a kept deposit? Talk to the salon. They can tell us to refund you, and we’ll process it within 3 to 5 working days of their instruction.

Honestly though, if you can make another day work, move your booking instead. Nobody loses anything that way.
