Clinic Policy

Complaint Policy

Our aim is to provide the best service possible. While we always strive to achieve this, there will be times when a client is unhappy with the service. We aim to handle complaints quickly in an effective, fair and honest way.

The policy aims to ensure that:
All members of the public know how to feed back to Lavish Cosmetics LTD and the process of making a complaint is simple.
All staff treat feedback seriously and deal with it promptly, efficiently, courteously and keep the customer informed of the progress.
Improved customer relations are built by resolving feedback during the initial stages wherever possible.
All feedback is recorded and monitored so that we learn from it and take action to improve services.
The definition of a complaint.

A complaint is as follows:
“An expression of dissatisfaction regarding Lavish Cosmetics LTD standard of training, service, action or lack of action”
Please note a complaint is not ‘An initial request for a service to be delivered’.
Who can make a complaint?
Any member of the public or their representative, staff, businesses, public and voluntary bodies can make a complaint about Lavish Cosmetics LTD

The Complaints Process
All complaints must be made to the person who delivered your treatment. A response should be made within 5 working days. This is regardless of how the complaint or expression of dissatisfaction is made.
If you feel the response to your complaint under stage one is unsatisfactory, the next
stage is for the complaint to be referred to the owner/manager who will investigate further and liaise with any additional staff whose information may help resolve the complaint.
You will receive a response within 10 working days. If an interim reply is needed, you will be given a timescale by which a full reply will be received.

If you feel the response to your complaint is still not satisfactory, you must advise us within one calendar month of the date of the response from stage 2 otherwise the case will be closed. The directors (if not already) will then conduct an Internal Review. A full response will normally be received within 15 days.
Confidentiality: All complaints are treated with confidentiality in mind. Only the directors will be aware that a complaint has been received and is being dealt with. 
Anonymous complaints will be acted upon; however it is better to provide contact details so that the complainant can be informed of the outcome.
