Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our website. They help us remember your preferences and understand how you interact with our content. We also use other tracking technologies like web beacons and local storage to provide you with the best possible experience.
Think of cookies as helpful assistants that remember things like your preferred language settings or items you've viewed on our site. They're completely safe and cannot access personal files on your device.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep our website running smoothly and securely. They enable basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas. Without these, our site simply wouldn't work properly.

These track your browsing habits to show you relevant content and advertisements. They help us deliver information about services that might genuinely interest you while you browse other websites.
How Tracking Enhances Your Experience
Personalized Service Recommendations
When you browse our service pages, we remember which treatments caught your attention. This helps us suggest complementary services or special offers that align with your interests when you return to our site.
Appointment Booking Convenience
Our booking system uses cookies to remember your preferred time slots and stylist preferences. This makes scheduling follow-up appointments much faster and more convenient for regular clients.
Location-Based Information
We use your general location to provide relevant information about our Teck Whye Lane location, including directions, parking availability, and local promotions that might apply to your area.
Real Example: If you frequently view our beard trimming services, our system might highlight related grooming tips or suggest package deals that include beard treatments during your next visit.
