SCHEDULED ARRIVAL & APPOINTMENT PUNCTUALITY
To ensure a smooth and timely experience for all our clients, we kindly ask that you arrive at least 10 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment. This allows time for check-in, use of facilities, and color selection. We operate a strict schedule to honor every client’s time. Late arrivals may result in reduced treatment time or forfeiture of the appointment. In such cases, the full cost of the scheduled service remains payable.
