We kindly ask for a minimum of 48 hours notice for any cancellation or change in services. We will contact you 3 days prior to your appointment to confirm your services and times. Please confirm or make adjustments to your appointments at this time. Because we block out time for a room and a service provider from our schedule for your appointment, 50% to a possible full payment will be deducted from gift cards or credit card on file if we are not given the required notice. We reserve the right to apply a full service fee for no-shows. Multiple services or bookings for groups of 2 or more may require 72 hours notice for cancellation and a deposit. Due to the demand for appointment times and our 48 hour cancellation policy we are not able to hold emailed booking requests for any length of time without confirmation. In order to guarantee appointments and to avoid disappointment please reply with confirmation as soon as possible that includes a phone number you can be reached at. Online bookings will not be held without confirmation by email or phone. Late arrivals may require us to shorten the service time if possible, will full service charge. If you arrive too late to begin and complete any of the service(s) in the time that was booked we will charge you for the full appointment. Thank you for understanding and your cooperation.
