Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment to Beauty for All

​

Hair Love and Essence is committed to providing a digital experience that is accessible to all individuals, regardless of their ability. We believe that everyone should have access to our hair care expertise and beauty resources, and we are continually improving our website to meet relevant accessibility standards.

​

Conformance Status

​

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities.

Hair Love and Essence is currently partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. "Partially conformant" means that while most of our site adheres to these standards, some dynamic content or third-party tools—such as our booking system or social media feeds—may not yet fully comply as we continue to update our platform.

Efforts to Support Accessibility

​

We have taken several proactive measures to ensure the accessibility of www.hairloveandessence.com:

  • Keyboard Navigation: We are optimizing our site to be fully navigable via keyboard, ensuring all buttons and booking links are reachable without a mouse.

  • Vivid Descriptions (Alt Text): We are systematically adding descriptive alternative text to our gallery of hairstyles and products so screen reader users can understand our work and offerings.

  • Logical Structure: We utilize a structured heading hierarchy (H1 through H4) to help users scan our service list and salon information efficiently.

  • Readable Contrast: We monitor our site to ensure a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for all text, ensuring clarity for users with low vision.

​

Known Limitations

​

Despite our best efforts, some content may not yet be fully adapted.

  • Third-Party Booking Tools: We may use external platforms for appointment scheduling; we cannot guarantee the full accessibility of these third-party elements.

  • Social Media Integrations: Embedded content from platforms like Instagram or Facebook may present barriers as the code is controlled by those external services.

​

Feedback & Assistance

We welcome your feedback and are available to assist you personally if you encounter any barriers on our site. If you need help viewing our styles or booking an appointment, please contact us directly:

Technical Specifications
