Age - 18+ only.
Payment - cash preferred.
Cancellations - please give at least 48 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule. No-shows or late cancellations will be charged 50% of the total booking; this goes toward your deposit for a rescheduled appointment (must be rebooked within two months).
Rescheduling more than once may incur a small $25 fee.
If I need to reschedule with less than 48 hours' notice, you'll get a refund or a voucher to book another day.
