What are the fees if I cancel last minute or can't show up, or I forget?
If you cancel "last minute", aka: the day of, a few hours before, at-the-time-of, 15/30/45 minutes into your scheduled appointment, or just don't show up, we charge 100% of the scheduled appointment to the card on file. All of these policies are presented when booking your appointment online, and are also in the email you get after an appointment is booked online or in person- under "to do before your appointment- view and complete the required forms". By booking your appointment you have acknowledged and accepted these terms.
Why do I need a credit card to book online?
Having a card on file makes checking out so much easier on our secured systems! If you forget your wallet, or have trouble pulling out your card, we've got you! On a sadder note, if we have to charge you a cancellation fee (see other FAQ), there's a card on file.
Is this common to charge fees?
Actually yes! In 2021 when we started charging these fees, we were LATE to jump on board. Most salons in our area were already practicing this, and by 2023, even more salons are doing this to protect their stylists and reduce last minute cancellations. Today, in 2026, it has become common practice, and even very small "mom and pop shops" have adopted these policies to protect themselves from these costly cancellations.
Will tip be added if there's a fee?
No. We will never add gratuity to your card, or add any products. Only services that were scheduled PRIOR to your visit- meaning what we were fully intending on doing- will be charged. We will never add anything on. Also, we will do our best to reach out multiple times before processing your card for payment. If a payment cannot be processed, we will not provide services until payment for said appointment has been received.
Can I come back if I miss an appointment?
Yes. Absolutely. As long as payment for the missed, cancelled, or rescheduled appointment has been received, we are happy to take care of you!
If you NO SHOW, however:
You're unable to book online.
You need a 50% deposit for all future appts; which will be forfeited if you cancel that appointment. A new deposit of 50% will be required to make another appointment.
Again, our hearts are NOT to just charge your card for fees! Honestly- we make MORE when you're IN OUR CHAIR 🥴🥰
Please just let us know in advance so we can work with you and all this can be avoided!
