When you reserve an appointment with me, you are agreeing to the minimum service price for that appointment, with the understanding that pricing is on an “and up” basis.
If your late arrival prevents me from performing the full service in the time allotted for your appointment, I reserve the right to charge you in full for the service, reschedule you with a late arrival fee, or charge a no show fee — payment in full for the time that was reserved, as I would be unable to fill that spot.
If you arrive 15 minutes past the start of your appointment, I will not be able to provide your service and you will need to reschedule.
Please arrive on time for your appointment. Late arrivals can throw the day into chaos and cause a domino effect of unnecessary stress and tension for both my clients and myself, so my policy is that I do not accept late arrivals — it’s unfair to everyone else.
If you’re late, I may not be able to give you the full service that you booked, or I may have to reschedule you for another time when I’ll be able to complete your service without rushing to stay on schedule for the rest of the day.
If I run late to accommodate late arrivals, I either have to hurry so that I’m not running behind for my next guest, or take the amount of time the service requires — which will also cause me to run late and start my next guest late. Neither of these are acceptable options for me to maintain the quality of work I’m known for and the standards of service I set for my business.
One late arrival can upend multiple appointments. If that is the case, your appointment will be rescheduled at my discretion and a no show fee of 100% of the service cost will be charged.
