💵 Down Payment
– A non-refundable down payment is required for every single appointment. No exceptions.
– Most down payments start at $50 but may range much higher depending on the amount of time we have to reserve for your appointment.
– This amount contributes toward your total bill and is not an extra expense.
– Appointments are NOT confirmed until down payment is received.
– Down payments are required a minimum of 3 days before your appointment.
📅 Scheduling In Advance
We do not book “same day appointments” – therefore appointments must be set in advance. If you contact us with the expectation of a same day or last minute booking we will likely decline your request and book you for a later date.
⏰ Late Policy
– If you are more than 20 minutes late, your appointment may need to be rescheduled out of respect for the next client and the person who booked you.
– In some cases we can accommodate late appointments, but it should not be expected.
– In the event of a reschedule you will forfeit the down payment for that appointment, and a new down payment will be required to book your next appointment.
🚫 Repeated No-Show Policy
If you miss your appointment twice, or are excessively late twice, we reserve the right to increase your down payment requirements or outright refuse booking future appointments with you.
💼 Business First
This is a personalized service and we’re more than happy to develop friendly relationships with our clients, but this is also our livelihood and a professional business. Therefore we expect you to respect our policies just as you would with any professional service.
🛑 Right of Refusal
For those who repeatedly cause issues—whether it’s late arrivals, no-shows, last-minute cancellations, inappropriate behavior, or general disrespect—we reserve the right to refuse future service. Respect goes both ways.
