Respecting your privacy is a top priority at J Salon. Our Privacy Policy is designed to provide transparency regarding the collection and use of your personal information. In accordance with Illinois laws, we implement the following practices:

• Client Information:
  • We collect personal information solely for the purpose of providing salon services and maintaining accurate records.
  • Your personal information is kept confidential and is not shared with third parties without your explicit consent.
• Photography and Videography:
  • We request permission before taking any photographs or videos that include our clients, particularly those featuring the work of our nail technicians.
  • Your consent will be sought through a consent form, and you have the right to decline.
• Marketing and Promotions:
  • With your explicit consent, we may use photographs or videos for marketing and promotional purposes, such as social media or our website.
• Security Measures:
  • We take reasonable precautions to protect your personal information from unauthorized access or disclosure.
• Client Rights:
  • You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information. Please contact us if you wish to exercise these rights.

• Manicure Procedure for Kids:
  • For children receiving manicure services, we do not cut cuticles. Our kid's manicure includes a gentle nail trim, shaping, and polishing to enhance the natural beauty of their nails.
• Parent or Guardian Presence:
  • We require that a parent or legal guardian be present in the salon during the entire duration of the service for children under the age of 16.
• Service Limitations:
  • To maintain a safe and comfortable environment, we reserve the right to decline services or specific treatments for children based on their age, behavior, or other factors that may impact the quality and safety of the service.
• Communication with Parents:
  • Our technicians will communicate with parents or guardians to ensure a clear understanding of the child's preferences and any relevant information regarding their nails or skin.
• Parental Consent:
  • Prior to providing services, we may request parental consent for the application of nail polish or any additional treatments. This ensures that parents are aware of the products used and have the opportunity to voice any concerns.
• Safety Measures:
  • Our salon adheres to strict hygiene and sanitation standards, and all tools and equipment used for kids' manicures are properly sanitized to ensure a clean and safe environment.
• Comfortable Atmosphere:
  • We strive to create a fun and relaxing atmosphere for our younger clients, with friendly and patient technicians who understand the unique needs of children during a salon experience.

• No Pets Allowed:
  • For the safety and well-being of our clients and staff, we regret to inform you that pets are not allowed within the salon premises. This includes, but is not limited to, dogs, cats, birds, and other animals.
• Service Animals Exception:
  • We recognize and respect the rights of individuals with disabilities who rely on service animals. Service animals, as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), are permitted in the salon. We kindly ask that clients with service animals inform our staff in advance to ensure a seamless and comfortable experience.
• Reasons for the Policy:
  • Health and Safety: The presence of pets can pose health and safety risks, including allergies and potential accidents.
  • Disturbance: Pets may cause disruptions to other clients or staff members.
  • Hygiene: Maintaining a clean and sanitary environment is essential, and the presence of pets may compromise these standards.
• Cooperation Requested:
  • We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in adhering to our pet policy. If you arrive with a pet, we kindly ask that you make suitable arrangements for their care outside the salon premises.
• Service Termination Right:
  • The salon reserves the right to refuse or terminate services if a client brings a pet into the salon, except for qualified service animals. Such decisions will be made in consideration of the well-being and safety of all individuals present.

Providing a 7-day chip-free guarantee for No-Chip Manicure w/strengthening and Gel Extensions services is we adopted for a number reasons:

1. Customer Assurance: This period serves as a quality guarantee to reassure our clients about the durability of the service provided. We are building trust and confidence in our team's work.
2. Industry Standard: Seven days is a reasonable timeframe in which a customer can expect their manicure to remain pristine under normal conditions. It's a balance between offering a guarantee and not overcommitting to a period that might be affected by numerous variables beyond our control.
3. Product Performance: Many professional nail products like gels, polishes, and acrylics are designed to last about a week or more without chipping if properly applied and cared for. The 7-day period often aligns with the product’s performance specifications.
4. Customer Habits: It encourages customers to return if they have an issue within a week, which is a reasonable timeframe for most to notice any problems with the service. 
5. Wear and Tear: A week is also a good period to gauge the customer's use and care of their nails. Beyond this time, chips or damage are more likely due to normal wear and tear or customer habits rather than a fault in the application process.
6. Manage Expectations: We would like to set a limit on the free fix period that helps manage customer expectations and avoids the scenario where a salon is perpetually responsible for touch-ups or repairs that are due to the natural life cycle of the nail product or the client’s activities.
7. Limit Abuse: This policy helps prevent abuse of free services. Without a time limit, customers might come back for free touch-ups that are not due to the quality of the workmanship but to normal wear or an unrealistic expectation of product durability.
8. Feedback Loop: If chips are happening regularly within that time frame, it provides immediate feedback to the salon to potentially reassess the techniques or products used.

By setting a 7-day limit, we would like to balance customer service and satisfaction with practical business management. It’s a compromise between providing value and setting boundaries that protect our business from unreasonable demands.
