BOOKING FEE
When booking off or online a payment in full will be required, of which 50% is a non-returnable booking fee. 24 hours notice is required for all cancellations or rescheduling of an appointment, failure to do so will result in the loss of the booking fee. However the remaining 50% of the upfront payment will re allocated towards a future appointment of your choice.
ARRIVAL TIMES
We usually recommend arriving to your appointment 10 minutes before the start time, however due to Covid-19, please arrive no more than 5 minutes early to your appointment; this allows time for completing any required consultation forms, choosing a nail colour where applicable and time to relax with a drink before your treatment begins. Arriving late to your appointment will limit the time of your treatment, reducing its effectiveness and your enjoyment. Your appointment will finish on time to prevent the next client from being delayed, unless the reason for a delayed appointment start time is our fault, then you will receive the full treatment time.
TREATMENT TIMES
The treatment times given are for guideline purposes only and include time to go through to the treatment rooms, a consultation, time for the therapist to get you a drink at the end of your treatment, give you appropriate aftercare advice plus time to get changed. In some cases treatments times may be slightly shorter than advertised, especially waxing, manicures and pedicures. This is due, to the area being treated needing less work than the average person, i.e. hair type, hair quantity or amount of hard skin etc.
CHILDREN & AGE RESTRICTIONS
To ensure everyone has a relaxing experience, we kindly request that children are not brought along to your treatments. Any clients that do bring children along will unfortunately be turned away as we are not insured to have them on the premises. The minimum age for the majority of treatments is 16, please ask when booking for more information. Teenagers from the age of 13 to 16 can have waxing, manicures, pedicures, led light therapy and spray tans but must be accompanied by a parent or guardiant at all times. Intimate waxing is only available to female clients 18 and over.
MOBILE PHONES
To ensure everyone has a relaxing experience, please switch your mobile phones off on arrival and respect the quiet and relaxing nature of our salon. If you must make a phone call, please do so before your treatment time. We understand some people need their phones due to childcare etc, if this is the case please be sure to tell your therapist before your treatment begins.
PREGNANCY & MEDICAL CONDITIONS
Any pregnancies, medication or recent medical conditions must be mentioned at the time of booking. During pregnancy, facials can be carried out after the first trimester (12 weeks). We will only carry out facials and intimate waxing after the 6 weeks post partum check, 12 weeks if having undergone a C-section.
CANCELLATION POLICY
We understand that cancellation policies are not a comfortable subject, however, as we are a busy salon, late cancellations and no shows result in other clients missing out on appointment opportunities and a therapist’s day being disrupted. We therefore kindly request that to avoid incurring unnecessary costs and as a matter of common courtesy, 24 hours notice is given if you wish to cancel or reschedule an appointment. If less than 24 hours notice is given we reserve the right to keep any booking fee taken or collect an appropriate amount from any gift cards held. As any treatments over 60 minutes block out so much of our therapist’s time we ask that 48 hours notice is given if you need to cancel or reschedule these.
PATCH TEST
We carry out patch tests at least 24 hours prior to the following treatments; tanning, eyebrow and eyelash tinting, brow lamination and eyelash lifting, it may also be done for dermaplaning if you have a history of allergies. This is to protect ourselves and our clients from having an adverse reaction to the products used. If you have had the treatment done elsewhere, we still recommend a patch test as the product used may be different.
