Claire's Beauty Treatments

Booking Terms:

Thank you for supporting my small local business and for understanding that the following information is in place to protect the business and clients in order to continue to run efficiently.

When booking an appointment please make sure you can attend as frequent rescheduling, cancellations and amendments even if it is more than 48hrs notice still does have a huge negative effect on a small business.
It takes approximately 7-10 days to fill any appointments organically and more than 48hrs for me to be able to fill the appointments from the wait list as it takes time to contact people waiting.
See Cancellations, Amendments, Missed Appointments, Lateness, Emergencies and Illness section below.
Card Capture: The booking system captures your credit/debit card details via Squareup to secure your appointment. Claire's Beauty Treatments will never have access to your card detail information, it is taken and stored securely via Squareup.
On the day of your appointment you can pay by card: Apple Pay, Contactless, MasterCard, Visa, American Express, Maestro, Visa Electron. No processing fees are paid by the card holder. All processing fees are paid by Claire's Beauty Treatments. You will receive an e-Receipt.
The little beauty room is only able to accommodate one client at a time and there is no waiting room, so if you bring someone with you they will have to wait outside until your appointment is finished.
Do not bring children or pets to your appointment. Insurance restrictions, hot wax, sharp tools and chemicals means it is not an appropriate environment for a child, baby or pet (do not leave children, dogs or pets in the car during appointments!)
If coming for a patch test and you have young children or pets in car, please park up on driveway, text me to say you have arrived and I can do the patch test outside (or just undercover in the side gate if raining), it only takes a min and you can still see everyone in the car.
All treatments have a minimum age of 18 years old.
A minimum charge of £20 applies. Treatments may need to be combined (one or more treatments) to total £20 or more. If treatments under £20 are booked in then the minimum charge of £20 will be required.

Cancellations, Amendments, Missed Appointments, Lateness, Emergencies and Illness:

Covid-19 Cancellations:
You will be unable to rebook for 10 days. You must cancel your appointment immediately if you have or anyone you have been around has Covid-19 or exhibiting symptoms; recent onset of a continuous cough, high temperature, loss of or change in normal sense of taste or smell.
Cancellations and rescheduling to later dates:
Whilst I understand that very occasionally emergencies and illnesses do happen last minute, the more notice I have the more likely it is that the appointment can go to someone else. You can do this via your booking link or by logging in to the online booking system more than 48hrs before your appointment.
Frequent cancellations, rescheduling to later dates:
Even if it is more than 48hrs notice, you may not be able to book online, you may be asked in future to book in the same week or on the day you require the appointment, however this doesn't guarantee an appointment will be available. A non-refundable booking fee of up to 50% will be required to secure future appointments.
Amendments reducing treatments more than 48 hours notice is required:
Failure to do so will incur a 50% charge. If you turn up to your appointment wanting only part of the treatments booked and/or you’ve not prepared for your treatments e.g. not grown hair for waxing then a charge of 50% will apply.
Amendments adding treatments:
Specific time is allocated for the treatments you've booked in for, it is not always possible to add treatments on to the appointment (only the wax and equipment needed for your appointment will be ready) or change treatments e.g. half leg to full leg. However the more notice I get the more chance your request can be accommodated.
Missed Appointments:
A charge of 50% will apply if you do not attend your appointment. Also if you do not send a text with a valid reason you will not be able to book another appointment. A non-refundable booking fee of 50% will apply to secure future appointments.
Lateness:
A charge of 50% of the difference will apply if you are late and treatments need to be cut short, e.g. half leg wax instead of full leg, or may not be able to be completed at all.
Periods:
On a daily basis I get texts about periods and intimate waxing. If I rescheduled everyone due to periods I would not have a business. Just use a fresh tampon (or menstrual cup) and pop the string just inside with the tampon so its completely out of the way and let me know. If unable or uncomfortable using a tampon / menstrual cup then you will need to make the appointment in the same week or on the day you require the appointment, however this doesn't guarantee an appointment will be available. If you cancel or reschedule last minute then you will need to pay 50% and will need to pay up to 50% to secure future appointments.
Non-refundable booking fee up to 50%:
This is a fee to secure your appointment date and time and the booking fee will be forfeited if any cancellations, reschedules or changes are to be made.
Charges:
Please note that all charges and booking fees must be paid before any more bookings are accepted.
You will be charged up to 50% of the treatment(s) value to secure a booking.
All other charges will be 50% of the appointment value.
