Clear communication can help make your salon or beauty service appointment easier to manage. If you need to confirm timing, location, service requirements, or another booking-related detail, use the contact or communication options available through Doorstep Hub whenever possible.
Keep the conversation focused on the booking and avoid sharing passwords, OTPs, or other unnecessary sensitive information.
1. Open Your Booking Details
Sign in to your Doorstep Hub account and open the salon or beauty service booking you want to discuss.
Review the available details, such as:
- Service name
- Provider
- Appointment date
- Appointment time
- Location
- Booking status
- Available communication options
This helps you confirm that you are contacting the correct provider about the correct booking.
2. Use the Available Doorstep Hub Communication Options
Where supported, use the contact or messaging options shown within your booking.
These options may help you communicate about:
- Appointment timing
- Service location
- Arrival information
- Service requirements
- Preparation details
- Other relevant booking matters
Using the available booking communication features can help keep the discussion connected to your appointment.
3. Confirm the Appointment Time
If you need clarification about timing, confirm the scheduled appointment before making other arrangements.
You may ask about:
- Confirmed appointment time
- Expected arrival time for at-home services
- Whether the provider is running late

Keep the question simple and specific.
4. Confirm the Service Location
If the location is unclear, review your booking first and then contact the provider where necessary.
You may confirm:
- Salon address
- Service area
- At-home service location
- Relevant arrival or access information
Do not share more personal location information than is reasonably necessary for the booking.
5. Discuss Service Requirements
If the provider needs information to prepare for your appointment, keep the conversation related to the selected service.
Relevant details may include:
- Hair length
- Preferred style
- Selected treatment
- Grooming requirement
- Product preference
- Preparation needs
- Other service-specific information
Clear information can help the provider understand what you expect before the appointment begins.

This could include:

- Product preference
- Desired treatment
- Relevant service expectations
Keep your communication clear and directly related to the appointment.
8. Mention Relevant Product Sensitivities
If you know that you are sensitive to particular salon or beauty products, inform the provider before the service starts.
This may include sensitivities involving:

- Hair colour products
- Skincare products
- Fragrances

- Product options
- Expected duration

Review the Doorstep Hub booking details first so your questions can be specific.

- Product upgrade

- Provider arrival
- Preparation
- Product preferences
- Additional charges

Avoid sharing unrelated personal information.
12. Never Share Your Password
Your Doorstep Hub or other account passwords should remain private.
A salon provider does not need your password to:

14. Protect Sensitive Financial Information

- Card PIN
- Account login credentials
Normal booking communication should not require these details.

If you receive a link during a conversation, check whether it is relevant and trustworthy before opening it.
Be especially careful if a link asks you to:
- Log in
- Enter banking details
- Enter an OTP
- Make an unexpected payment
- Download an unknown application
Do not enter sensitive information on unfamiliar websites.
16. Avoid Sharing Unnecessary Personal Information
Only provide information that is reasonably needed for your salon appointment.
Avoid unnecessarily sharing:

- Account credentials
- Private financial information
- Personal information unrelated to the service
For at-home appointments, provide only the location and access information reasonably necessary to complete the booking.
17. Keep Important Booking Messages
If your conversation includes an important appointment update, keep the relevant messages until the service is complete.
This may include:
- Schedule changes
- Provider arrival updates
- Service clarification
- Location information
- Additional price confirmation
This can help if you need to refer back to what was discussed.

Keep useful information ready, such as:
- Booking reference
- Service name
- Provider
- Appointment date
