HIGHEST FOCUS ON

CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

We do our utmost to ensure that your experience at Genco is uplifitng, is of a high quality and the hairdressers and therapists you meet are knowledgeable, professional, and extremely good at what they do. However, in any service business there are occassions where we may misunderstand, or get things wrong – we are committed to excellence but we can’t be perfect all of the time.

Our commitment to you is that we will take all reasonable steps to ensure that if things do go wrong we try and make it right or compensate in a way that dissipates any residual ill-feeling you may have. We have a very simple complaints procedure and all complaints are dealt with promptly and in a way that causes the least amount of embarrassment. All we ask, is that you do take the obvious first steps to speak to your therapist/hairdresser first, and then escalate it to the managing director if required. Email addresses and telephone number of the management is available below on the tab ‘Complaints Procedure’.

MEET BHARAT

OUR MANAGING DIRECTOR

Bharat started Genco Male Grooming in 2007. His dream was to create a professional and friendly environment for men to get the same kind of services that women had been enjoying for years. With a background in brand marketing, Bharat is dedicated to making your experience at Genco a first class one. It’s for this reason that he takes personal pride in addressing any complaints that his team might not be able to resolve with a customer. If you have such a complaint, you can contact Bharat directly here. If a customer is unhappy, he will personally call them so as to try and resolve the issue immediately or at least within 24 hours. This commitment to customer satisfaction is at the very core of Genco Male Grooming, and a value that the people who work here share.

• When it is in our legitimate interest ie there is a business or commercial reason to do so, unless this is outweighed by your rights or interests

We will therefore share your information with :

• Providers of our salon / barbershop software system – SalonIQ
• Email Provider – Campaign Monitor
