Stellar Warranty
1. Consumer Guarantees
All products are covered by the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (CGA). If a product has a major fault, you are entitled to a repair, replacement, or refund. For minor faults, we may repair or replace the item within a reasonable time. These rights apply regardless of any additional warranties provided.
2. Product Warranty (to be confirmed)
In addition to your rights under the CGA, we offer the following limited warranties on Stellar-branded products:
- Stylers: 2 years + 1 year with online registration within 30 days
- Dryers: 1 year + 1 year with online registration within 30 days
3. Warranty Claim
All warranty claims must be assessed and approved by Hairo or our licensed service agent. Minor issues (e.g., settings turned off accidentally) are not covered.
4. Warranty Start Date
Warranty begins on the date of the original customer receipt from the place of purchase.
5. Proof of Purchase
Customers must provide:
- Tax invoice or receipt
- Return/exchange or gift receipt
Distributors should record product batch numbers and match them to invoice dates.
6. What the Warranty Covers
- Manufacturing defects
- Repairs or replacements, depending on the issue and stage of warranty
- Year 1: Minor faults serviced; major faults replaced
- After Year 1: All manufacturing faults serviced (no misuse coverage)
7. What the Warranty Does NOT Cover
- Normal wear and tear or accidental damage (e.g., dropped or hit)
- Battery failure after 12 months
- Power cords or heater plates
- Repairs or modifications by unauthorised third parties
- Improper use, negligence, or failure to follow instructions
- Environmental exposure (heat, water, corrosion, etc.)

8. Cord & Plate Warranty
Power cords are excluded due to potential misuse. If a fault is confirmed as a manufacturing issue within a known batch, it may be covered at ProHair’s discretion.
9. Warranty Reset Policy
The warranty does not reset after a repair or replacement. It remains based on the original purchase date.
10. Replacements
Replacements are only issued after inspection at Head Office. If the same model is unavailable, an alternative may be offered.
11. Brush Warranty
If the fault is manufacturer-related, a direct swap is offered. Damage from misuse (e.g., being stepped on) is not covered.
12. Return-to-Base Policy
Claims are processed on a return-to-base basis. Customers must return products to the original place of purchase.
13. Change of Mind & Non-Warranty Returns
Returns due to change of mind are not accepted unless approved under our Returns Policy.
Excluded return items include:
