Terms of Business
A little bit of housekeeping.
None of this is meant to be stuffy. These are simply the few things we are both signing up to when you book in with me, written plainly so we always know where we stand and your appointment can run beautifully.
Booking
Booking could not be simpler. Drop me a message through my Contact page, or find me on Facebook or Instagram, and I will come back to you to confirm your date and time, and let you know anything you need to do beforehand. If we already know each other, you will have my mobile number, so a quick text or call is always welcome.
Deposits
I do not usually ask for a deposit, I would rather keep things easy. The one exception is larger group bookings, like a bridal party, where I may ask for a little something to hold the time. If I do, it simply reserves the slot set aside for you and comes straight off the cost of your treatment on the day.
Cancellations and No-Shows
Life happens, and I completely understand that plans change. All I ask is that you give me as much notice as you can, so I have the chance to offer the time to someone else.
If you need to cancel with less than 48 hours' notice, there is a charge of 50% of the treatment fee.
Cancellations inside 24 hours, on the day, or no-shows, are charged in full.
If you have paid a deposit, that goes towards whatever is due.
Late Arrivals
Running a few minutes behind? Please do not panic, just let me know as soon as you can. I will always do my best to fit in your full treatment, but so that I am not keeping the next client waiting, I may need to trim things a little, and the full fee still applies.
Health, Allergies and Patch Tests
Your wellbeing always comes first. Before we start, do let me know about any medical conditions, allergies or medications, as some can affect your treatment, and please tell me if anything has changed since I last saw you.
Lash treatments need a patch test. If you are booking a lash lift or tint for the first time, I will carry out a quick patch test at least 48 hours before your appointment, and it needs repeating every six months thereafter, even if you come to me regularly. It takes moments, and it means we can go ahead knowing your skin is happy with the products. Without an up-to-date patch test I am not able to carry out the treatment, so please do get in touch in good time.
In the Studio
My studio is a dedicated space inside my home here in Godmanchester, rather than a busy high-street salon with a waiting room, so a couple of little things really help. If you could try not to arrive more than five minutes early, that is perfect. I might still be finishing with a lovely client, or sneaking a quick cup of tea with my husband, and I would hate to rush you or not be quite ready to give you my full attention.
I am not normally able to accommodate extra guests, children or pets during your appointment, purely to keep the space calm and safe. That said, if you would like to bring someone along, please just ask in advance and I will always do my best to help.
Your privacy is completely protected while you are with me. The studio door locks from the inside, so once we begin we will not be disturbed, and the window has a privacy screen so we cannot be seen from outside. Whatever treatment you are having, it is just you and me, undisturbed and unseen.
Parking is easy right outside on our quiet street, and if there is room on the driveway, please help yourself.
Agreement
By booking in with me, you are agreeing to these few terms. Nothing scary, just the bits that keep everything running smoothly. Thank you for taking a moment to read them, and for being so understanding. It is what lets me keep looking after everyone properly.
