About Compare the Hair

Compare the Hair is an e-marketplace that allows users to sell hair/hair products, buy hair/hair products and provides you with access to UK hair salons.

Compare the hair does not have possession of anything listed or sold through Compare the hair and is not involved in the actual transaction between buyers and sellers. The contract for the sale is directly between buyer and seller.

Compare the hair does not review users' listings or content.

You authorise Compare the hair to automatically charge your chosen payment method in accordance with this User Agreement and the applicable billing agreement(s) you agree to when setting up or changing your payment method, for future charges and fees incurred in relation to the Services.
