Returns

ACCEPTED RETURN ITEMS
We can only accept returns on unopened & unused products, they must be in their original shrink wrapping or their seal must not have been tampered with. Some products do not contain a shrink band or tamper proof label, in order to return these items we will need to inspect these products and be 100% confident that the product has not been used. Because we do not allow for open & used products to be returned, we offer (almost) ALL of our products in trial or sample size.
PLACING A RETURN
Should you want to return any part of your online order please contact us within 14 days of your original order date. For a return authorization, email us with your name, order # & return reason to hello@rootpretty.com. All returns must be received to us no later than 30 days after original order date. Upon inspection of products, Root will issue your return to your original payment form (or Root gift card) within 3 business days. We do not pay for return shipping & are not responsible for lost returns (it is always best to track & insure your returns). Returns making your original total purchase price less than $75 (for free shipping) will be refunded less $5 for original shipping charge or issue you a Root gift card. We do not accept returns on opened products, please note that while we do our very best to display colors & products accurately screens may display colors differently. Samples are available for purchase.

We do not accept returns on the following items: Brushes, Partial Pretty Kits, Sample Sizes, and Trial Sizes. We do not accept returns on opened products, please note that while we do our very best to display colors & products accurately screens may display colors differently.

DAMAGED PRODUCTS

Without this window of notice we are unable to open a claim with our shippers. *We pride ourselves in the quality of products we make. As we hand make, package, label, shrink wrap & ship our products we would never allow for a product to leave our hands in a damaged condition.*
