Frequently Asked Questions
Answers about booking, payments, your account, AI features, and privacy on Dianova Beauty Connect.
Booking & appointments
How do I book an appointment?
Choose a service, pick a stylist (or let us assign one), select a date and time, then review and pay any required deposit to confirm.
Can I reschedule or cancel?
Yes — from your account under My Appointments. Each salon sets its own free cancellation/reschedule window; late changes or no-shows may incur the salon's disclosed fee.
Is a deposit required?
Some salons require a deposit to confirm a booking. The amount and refund terms are shown before you pay and are set by the salon.
Do I need an account to book?
You'll need an account to manage and view your appointments, but sign-up is quick — email, phone, or Google / Microsoft.
Payments, gift cards & tips
How are payments processed?
Securely through Stripe. Dianova never stores your full card number.
Do you sell gift cards?
Yes — buy a gift card for any amount within the allowed range; recipients redeem it at checkout. Gift cards follow applicable law.
Can I tip?
Yes, tipping is supported at checkout and goes to your stylist or salon.
How do refunds work?
Eligible refunds (such as deposit refunds on cancellation) are returned to your original payment method per the salon's policy.
Account & sign-in
How do I sign in?
Email and password, a phone one-time passcode, or Google / Microsoft sign-in.
How do I manage notifications?
Under Account → Settings, control email and SMS reminders and marketing preferences. Unsubscribe from email or reply STOP to SMS anytime.
Can I save favourite stylists?
Yes — save stylists to rebook them quickly.
AI features
What can the AI do?
Depending on your salon: a style quiz and recommendations, a virtual try-on, AI hair-health analysis, an AI phone/SMS receptionist, and smart pricing.
Is the hair-health analysis medical advice?
No. It is cosmetic and informational only — not medical advice or diagnosis. See the Compliance & Disclaimer page.
Do you use my photos? Can I delete them?
Photo/AI features run only with your consent. Photos are encrypted and access-limited, and you can withdraw consent and delete your photos and analyses anytime. See the Privacy Policy.
Are calls recorded?
Calls handled by the AI receptionist may be recorded and transcribed, with disclosure at the start of the call; you can ask for a human or another channel.
Loyalty & referrals
Do you have a loyalty program?
Where enabled, you earn points on visits, reach tiers, and redeem rewards. Some salons also offer referral rewards.
Privacy & your data
What are my privacy rights?
See our Privacy Policy. You can access, correct, export, or delete your data and opt out of marketing. We do not sell personal information.
Does HIPAA apply?
No — a salon is not a healthcare provider, and cosmetic data is not protected health information. We comply with the laws that do apply (see Compliance).
For salon owners
Can I brand my salon's booking site?
Yes — configure your name, logo, colours, and optionally a custom domain in admin settings.
Can I add my own FAQs?
Yes. In the admin FAQ manager you maintain your salon's FAQ entries; published entries appear on this page beneath the platform answers and help the AI receptionist answer accurately.
