Treatment Deposits
When booking your appointment we require a 50% deposit for all treatments. Deposits can be paid by cash, card or gift voucher. This deposit will be taken off your treatment total and is refundable / transferable if your treatment is cancelled inline with our cancellation policy shown below.
Cancellation policy
If you need to rearrange or cancel your appointment for any reason please call the salon with as much notice as is practical on 01482 645845, if out of hours please leave a voicemail message as these are monitored. You can also make changes to your appointment online / via the app up to 24 hours before your appointment. Please do not cancel by Email or social media to avoid delays in your message being received.
We appreciate that sometimes ‘life happens’ and cancelling your appointment is an unavoidable last resort but we respectfully ask that you provide us with a minimum of 24 hours’ notice to rearrange or cancel your appointment. We all know how disappointing it can be if you cannot get in for your treatment at your desired time, but with 24 hours’ notice we have a chance to offer your slot to another client on the waiting list. With this in mind, please familiarize yourself with our cancellation policy;
By making an appointment with us you agree to the terms set out in our cancellation policy. If an appointment has been rearranged or cancelled with less than 24 hours notice then 50% of the cost of the booking will become due immediately without exception. If a client does not attend their appointment (‘no-show’) with no contact or prior cancellation notice then 100% will be due immediately due to no notice given and no opportunity for us to fill the appointment space. If late notice cancellations happen on more then three occasions then a 100% charge will be taken in future.
If we do manage to fill the appointment space your cancellation / no-show charge will be transferred to your salon account for future bookings. this will not be refunded back to you.
