Services and Price List
All services and prices may be subject to change. For our latest prices and services please check our website. Treatment times can include consultation, dressing and undressing time.

Skin/Patch Tests
Some of the treatments we offer require a skin/patch test a minimum of 24 hours in advance of an appointment. These are required on all treatments which involve tinting and lash extensions. All treatments which require a skin/patch test are advertised as such. Failure to attend a skin/patch test will require treatments to be either rescheduled or cancelled. This is for insurance purposes and client safety.
If a client has not had a treatment which requires a patch test for 6 months or more, we will require them to come for a new skin/patch test. Where a client fails to attend a patch test for an appointment where a deposit has been paid, the deposit will be non-refundable. A new deposit may be required to book another appointment

Insurance
We have a salon policy for individual professional indemnity insurance, public and product liability and employer’s liability. Our current insurance is with Insync Insurance Solutions.

Certification
All certificates are kept in a folder and individual files located in a safe place. These can be viewed by anyone who wishes to see them.
──────────
Deposits and Pre-Payments
Due to the long duration of some appointments, we may request a deposit of 50% of the appointment value to secure a booking. This will usually be requested on bookings of over an hour of time and/or bookings amounting to over £40. We offer the ability to pay via a secure link sent via email, at the salon or over the phone. We do not keep any card/address details as these are input directly into our card terminal.
──────────
Reminders
Email and text reminders are sent out 24 hours before your appointment, please check the reminder text when you receive it to confirm your appointment time slot.
──────────
Attendance
Appointments should be attended alone, unless otherwise agreed with the salon, e.g bridal parties etc. For health and safety reasons, children are not permitted in the salon.
──────────
Payment
Payment is due at the time of service. We accept cash, credit cards, and debit cards.
──────────
Refund
We want you to be completely satisfied with our services. If for any reason you are not satisfied, please let us know within 24 hours of your appointment and we will do our best to make it right. We do not offer refunds, we will always rectify the service.
──────────
Cancellation
At least 24 hours notice is required to cancel/rearrange your appointment. 50% of the service price will be charged for late cancellation (within 24 hours of appointment). This helps us cover the cost of our time and resources.
──────────
No Show
We value your time and ours. If you miss your appointment, we will charge a no-show fee of 100% of the treatment cost.
──────────
Late Attendance
We understand that sometimes things happen and you may be running late. If you are more than 10 minutes late for your appointment, we may need to reschedule or shorten your appointment. This helps us stay on schedule and provide the best service possible to all of our clients. If your appointment needs to be rescheduled, the no-show fee of 100% will be charged.
──────────
Downgrading Services
If you wish to reduce the service originally booked (duration/cost), then 48 hours notice is required. Downgrading within 48 hours (including at your appointment) will incur the original booked service price.
