CANCELLATION AND MISSED APPOINTMENT POLICY
At least 24 hours before your appointment we send an SMS to you to confirm your appointment. Please make sure your email and mobile number are up to date to assist us in this process. If less than 24 hours notice is given for the cancellation of an appointment, or if you fail to attend an appointment, 100% of the consultation fee will be charged.
We understand that sometimes unforeseen circumstances can occur where it may be difficult for you to attend your appointment, however we have a reminder system in place to help you avoid this. The way we see it, once our time is booked we are dedicated 100% to that client for the allotted time. If the client doesn’t show up or cancels we have no way of providing our services to anyone else who may need it as it is too late. Not showing up or cancelling last minute denies another client the chance to book that time.
