- All treatments have a minimum age of 18 years old.
Cancellations, Amendments, Missed Appointments, Lateness, Emergencies and Illness:
Claire understands that very occasionally emergencies and illnesses happen but the more notice we have, the more likely it is that the appointment can go to someone else. When booking an appointment please make sure you can attend as frequent rescheduling, cancellations and amendments even if it is more than 24hrs notice still does have a huge effect on a small business.

You must cancel your appointment immediately if you have Covid-19 or exhibiting symptoms; recent onset of a continuous cough, high temperature, loss of or change in normal sense of taste or smell.

Approximately 48hrs before your appointment you will receive a text and email reminder, Claire understands that very occasionally emergencies happen so the email has a link allowing you to amend your appointment online but please do so as soon as you receive it so the appointment can then be offered to someone else.

- Missed Appointments: If you do not attend your appointment and you do not send a text to let us know a valid reason you will not be able to book another appointment. All missed appointments will be charged 50% of the value of the appointment.
- Lateness: Please arrive on time, if you are late for your appointment it may have to be cancelled or rescheduled and 50% of the value of the appointment will be charged. If any treatments need to be cut short please be prepared for e.g. half leg wax instead of full leg and 50% of the difference in value of the treatments will be required. If any treatments can't be completed in time you will still be required to pay 50% of any remaining treatments if we do not have time to complete them.
- Emergencies and illness: Claire understands that very occasionally you may need to cancel last minute due to an emergency or illness, please do so via text so that Claire can assess if any charges apply.
