Subscription Cancellation and Processed Order Complaints
Function of Beauty's FAQ says customers can modify the subscription plan in My Subscriptions, including formula, bottle size, shipment frequency, billing information, shipping information, and product list. It also provides a Cancel Subscription option.
The same FAQ says:
| Policy point |
Complaint impact |
| Formulas are fully customized |
Processed orders are treated differently from ordinary retail products |
| Cancellations after payment do not change current subscription order |
Changes apply to the following subscription order |
| Orders billed and processed cannot be canceled, returned, or refunded |
Ask for future cancellation confirmation or special review |
| Cancellation confirmation email should arrive |
If no email after 24 hours, contact support |
| Account settings control future deliveries |
Save screenshots before and after changes |
If the customer canceled after payment was made, ask support to confirm whether the order had already been billed and processed, and whether cancellation applies to the next scheduled delivery.
Function of Beauty's FAQ says fully customized formulas cannot be canceled, returned, or refunded after the order is billed and processed. Its shipping/returns help page says Function With Benefits members can request a one-time reformulation if their haircare or body care does not meet expectations.
Use this table:
| Issue |
Best request |
| Processed custom order |
Ask for policy explanation and future subscription cancellation |
| Unprocessed order |
Ask support whether cancellation can still apply |
| Not happy with formula |
Ask whether one-time reformulation is available |
| Damaged product |
Ask for replacement or product-quality review |
| Wrong product |
Ask support to compare order formula and shipment |
| Retailer purchase |
Use original retailer return route |
For a reformulation complaint, include the original formula choices, product used, hair/body-care concern, date received, and photos if they help show product condition.
Shipping and Delivery Complaints
Because Function of Beauty products are made to order, shipping timelines can include formulation, processing, and carrier delivery. Shipment complaints should focus on order status and tracking.
For shipping complaints, include:
| Problem |
Evidence |
| Tracking not active |
Order number, shipment email, tracking link |
| Package delayed |
Tracking status and shipping date |
| Package not received |
Tracking, delivery address, carrier status |
| Damaged package |
Photos, order number, delivery date |
| Wrong address |
Order confirmation and correction request time |
| Missing item |
Order contents, products received, photos |
Ask whether the order is in formulation, processing, fulfilled, in carrier transit, or delivered.
Retailer Purchase Complaints
Function of Beauty products may be purchased through retailers such as Target, Amazon, Walmart, Kroger-affiliated stores, and other retail channels. Retail versions may not be the same as a custom online subscription.
Use this table:
| Purchase source |
Complaint route |
| FunctionofBeauty.com custom subscription |
Function of Beauty account/support |
| FunctionofBeauty.com one-time custom order |
Function of Beauty support |
| Target or other retailer |
Original retailer return policy |
| Amazon marketplace order |
Amazon order support and seller record |
| Walmart or grocery retailer |
Original retailer receipt and policy |
If the complaint involves product quality or reaction from a retailer product, use the retailer for return/refund handling and Function of Beauty support for product-quality routing if needed.
Account Access and Subscription Management Complaints
Function of Beauty subscription control depends on the account page. If the user cannot log in, cannot see My Subscriptions, or never receives confirmation emails, the complaint should focus on account access.
For account complaints, include:
- account email
- possible alternate emails
- order number
- password reset attempt
- My Subscriptions screenshot
- cancellation or edit attempt
- confirmation email status
- support history
Ask support to confirm which account owns the active subscription and whether any scheduled delivery remains active.
Privacy and Account Data Complaints
Function of Beauty's privacy and account requests should be handled separately from subscription or product disputes. Because formulas can include personal preferences and quiz responses, include the account email and request type clearly.
Common privacy requests include:
| Request |
What to include |
| Access |
Account email, full name, state, request date |
| Deletion |
Account email, active subscriptions, open orders |
| Correction |
Old and corrected account details |
| Marketing opt-out |
Email address and communication type |
| Quiz/formula data concern |
Account email, formula or quiz field |
| Account security |
Account email, date noticed, suspicious change |
Save receipts, formula records, cancellation confirmations, and product photos before asking for deletion if an unresolved complaint depends on those records.
Product Quality and Reaction Complaints
Function of Beauty products are customized based on the customer's selections. Product complaints should identify whether the issue is dissatisfaction, fragrance/color preference, formula performance, wrong formula, damage, or possible reaction.
For product concerns, include:
- product name
- order number
- formula details
- date received
- date first used
- product condition
- photos if useful
- hair, scalp, skin, or body-care concern
- whether use was stopped
- whether professional care was sought
- requested support response
If a product causes a concerning reaction, stop use and contact an appropriate healthcare professional before focusing on support or refund details.
