Poor Customer service
The following email was sent to Lextan on Thursday 2nd April.
I am writing to formally raise a complaint regarding the customer service I received at your Carmarthen salon today (2nd April) at approximately 5:30pm.
While I did lose a couple of minutes from my account, my primary concern is not the minutes themselves but the attitude and manner in which I was treated by the store manager, Shania Ley.
When I arrived, I booked in and was told bed number 1, I politely requested to use a different sunbed to the one she had selected for me. This was a simple preference, similar to choosing a particular service in any other salon. My request was refused without explanation, and I was spoken to in a dismissive and flippant manner.
During our interaction, the manager accused me of being rude, despite the fact that I remained calm and respectful throughout. I found this accusation both upsetting and unprofessional. When I then decided that I no longer wished to proceed with the session, I was informed that the minutes could not be re-added to my account because the bed had already been activated, at which point the bed began running while we were still standing at the desk discussing the matter.
I also asked for the contact details of her line manager and to see the terms and conditions. On both occasions, I was simply told to “look online,” without any assistance, contact details, or clear direction. I consider the whole interaction to be poor customer service and not in keeping with the standards expected of a customer-facing business.
The manager also stated that she had recently been reprimanded by her manager for changing a bed previously, which suggests there may be a training or policy issue that requires clarification and easily rectified by simple asking the customer if they have a bed preference, stand up or lie down?
I would like to make it clear that my expectation as a customer is straightforward: to be treated with courtesy, to be given reasonable choice where possible, and to have concerns handled professionally.
As a result of this experience, I am requesting:
• A formal written apology for the manner in which I was treated
• Clarification of your policy regarding customer choice of sunbeds
• Assurance that staff are appropriately trained in customer service and communication
• Confirmation of how customers can access clear contact details and terms and conditions when requested in-store
I have been a customer of Lextan salon for some time, previously using the Llanelli store and was very disappointed by this experience in Carmarthen today. I hope this matter can be addressed constructively so that other customers do not have a similar experience in future.
I look forward to your response.
