Shair Essence Policies & Frequently Asked Questions
Cancellation Policy
Your appointments are very important to Shair Essence, and it is reserved especially for you. We understand that sometimes schedule adjustments are necessary; therefore, we respectfully request at least 24 hours notice for cancellations.
STRICTLY ENFORCED 24 HOUR CANCELLATION POLICY!
Please understand that when you forget or cancel your appointment without sufficient notice, we miss the opportunity to fill that appointment time and clients on our waiting list miss the opportunity to receive services. Our appointments are confirmed 48 hours in advance because we are aware of how easy it is to forget an appointment that was booked months ago. Since services are reserved for you personally, a Cancellation fee will apply under the following circumstances:
- Less than 24 hour notice will result in a charge equal to 50% of the reserved service amount.
- "No-Show" will be charged 100% of the reserved service amount.
- Appointments made within 24 hours that need to be cancel, should be cancelled no less then 4 hours prior to the appointment time or will result in a charge equal to 50% of the reserved service amount.
- Multiple services not cancelled 24 hours in advance will be charged 100% of the reserved service amount. A deposit of 50% of your services may be required at the time of booking.
- Partial cancellations must also be made 24 hours in advance or the client will incur 50% of their original service cost.
The cancellation policy allows us the time to inform our standby client of any availability, as well as keep our scheduled filled, thus better serving everyone.
Confirmation Emails
As a courtesy, an EMAIL will be sent 48 hours prior to your scheduled appointment, confirming your appointment and requested services. Please understand that it is still your responsibility to remember your appointment date and time to avoid late arrivals, missed appointments and the cancellation fee.
