Quite often we are working to a tight schedule, therefore if you arrive late for your appointment, your treatment may have to be shortened. If you are running too late or are booked in for a service that cannot be shortened, we may have to reschedule your appointment and late cancellation fees will apply.
Please only enter the salon at your appointment time. There is a small waiting area in the porch outside the salon if you arrive early. Once we are ready for you a member of our team will welcome you in.
Please check appointment timings when booking and ensure you have enough time for your appointment. Putting your therapist under unnecessary pressure may affect your treatment results.
Appointments are available for ladies only.
