You or your carrier are responsible for any returned goods until they reach our warehouse. Cost and risk of return will be at your expense and we strongly recommend that you get proof of postage or use a registered postal service.
We aim to provide refunds, exchanges or replacements within one week of receipt back to us, though promise to make all refunds, exchanges or replacements within 14 working days from receipt of goods to our warehouse. Please note that we will not be held liable for any interest payment that you may incur because any refund was made outside of your credit/debit card timescales.
Any returned goods that we receive which are outside of this Returns Policy will be defined as "In Dispute". Such In-Dispute items will not be refunded or exchanged. A reason for this decision will be provided. We are happy to re-ship such In Dispute items back to you, otherwise, they will be destroyed after 91 working days from their receipt back to us.

Returns Policy - Faulty Goods
Professional Extensions must be applied within 14 days from the date of receipt. If your hair extensions appear faulty due to quality issues, the fault must be reported to us via email to the Customer Service Department: info@nanolocks.ie within a maximum of 30 days of the purchase date; this is due to human hair being a consumable item during wear.
We cannot guarantee the quality of any Nanolocks extensions with formulas that have not been recommended in the Nanolocks Aftercare Guide. Any hair returned to be tested for alleged quality issues must be accompanied by original proof of purchase for the extensions.
Any colouring, toning (including silver and purple shampooing) or tinting of extensions is done entirely at the customer's own risk and we will not test, refund or exchange any extensions that have been exposed to the above. All hair extensions must be returned in the original product colour.
Reported issues must be checked and verified in-salon once reported. Photos/videos are not deemed to be sufficient for investigation. Should further investigation be required by Nanolocks, we must receive the hair within 7 days of the complaint being made. This will then be examined and inspected by our dedicated Quality Control Department.
Goods are not considered faulty if their condition deteriorates due to poor hair management including heat damage, incorrect aftercare or poor application of extensions. If no fault is present, or the hair has been damaged or coloured in any way, the goods will be returned to the customer at your cost and we will not refund or replace the goods. Please note that testing of faulty hair extensions can take up to 30 days.
We do not guarantee the use of our hair extensions whilst on holiday/in warmer climates for various reasons, including discolouration of the hair when coming into contact with swimming pool chlorine and the hair drying out through excess heat. We strongly advise all customers using hair extensions to avoid both chlorine and sea water as this can damage hair and hair colour.
Nanolocks will not be held responsible for any additional expenses due to faulty goods e.g. removal or re-application costs. A Nanolocks-approved stockist must apply and remove any professional hair extensions and customers are advised to have a consultation before any permanent extensions are applied.
The goods are the responsibility of the customer until they reach Nanolocks warehouse. Please ensure all items are packaged properly to avoid transit damages.
Any returned goods that we receive which are outside of this Returns Policy will be defined as "In Dispute". Such In-Dispute items will not be refunded or exchanged.

WEEE
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive is now Irish law. The legislation aims to make producers pay for the collection, treatment and recovery of waste electrical equipment. The regulations also mean that suppliers of equipment like high street shops and internet retailers must allow consumers to return their waste equipment free of charge.
The amount of WEEE we throw away is increasing by around 5% each year, making it the fastest growing waste stream in Ireland.
Much of Ireland’s WEEE ends up in landfill, where the lead and other toxins it contains can cause soil and water contamination. This can have a harmful effect on natural habitat, wildlife and also human health.
Many electrical items that we throw away can be repaired or recycled. Recycling items help to save our natural finite resources and also reduces the environmental and health risks associated with sending electrical goods to landfill.
Distributors of new Electric and Electronic Equipment (EEE) have a part to play in reducing the amount of WEEE going into landfill sites.
Nanolocks is obliged under these regulations to offer our customers free take-back of their WEEE on a like-for-like basis when they buy a new Electrical or Electronic product from us. For example, if a customer bought a new bonding tool from us we would accept their old bonding tool and prevent it going into a landfill site by disposing of it safely. Customers must return their WEEE item to us within 28 days of purchasing their new item. Under the WEEE Regulations, all new electrical goods should now be marked with the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol.
WEEE Regulations Disposal and Recycling
Goods are marked with this symbol to show that they were produced after 13th August 2005, and should be disposed of separately from normal household waste so that they can be recycled.
