deposits

A 30% deposit is required for all appointments. This is due at the time of booking. Appointments that have an up to date deposit can be rescheduled anytime before 24 hours of the appointment time and the deposit will be moved over with it. Rescheduling or cancelling an appointment within 24 hours will result in the loss of the deposit, and the 30% will be kept as a cancellation fee.

​

Cancellation

It is always preferred that we reschedule appointments rather than canceling, but understand that things happen. If you need to cancel altogether we require at least 24 hour notice, however more than 48 hours is preferred. Appointments with a deposit down will receive a refund of the 30% assuming we are notified in the proper amount of time.

 

Rescheduling

You can always change and or reschedule appointments and keep any deposit already received attached. Any rescheduling done within 24 hours of your appointment time will result in a loss of the deposit.

 

Change of services

If you have booked multiple services, and would like to remove any, or if you would like to change the service booked altogether we require advance notice so that we have the correct amount of time alotted. At least 24 hours is preferred. Services being dropped or changed at the time of your appointment are subject to the cancellation fee of 30%.

 

Late  Policy

Please arrive 5-10 minutes before your appointment when possible. If you are going to be running late give us a call as soon as possible. There is no set cutoff time for late arrival because it depends on multiple factors including services booked and speed of the esthetician you are seeing. If you have multiple services booked and show up late we may not be able to provide all of your services. Depending on how late you are your services may need to be rescheduled. If we do not have enough time to provide your service due to late arrival the appointment is considered a now show and the deposit is forfeited.

 

Skin  irritation

Below you will find a list of contraindications; If any of them apply to you and you still decide to get waxed - irritation, including redness, bumps, lifting of skin, or burns are highly possible and not our responsibility. If you have no contraindications and have severe irritation, please contact us so that we can trouble shoot and get to the root of the problem. In general redness and bumps can be normal but should go away within 12-24 hours of waxing.
