Spa Etiquette & Policies
To ensure a great experience for each of my clients I ask that the following Spa Etiquette be observed:
Cancellation Policy
Your appointments are very important to Belle Ame Beauty & Wellness and are reserved especially for you. Should you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, I respectfully request at least 24-hour notice. Please understand that when you forget or cancel your appointment without giving enough notice, I miss the opportunity to fill that appointment time, and clients on my waiting list miss the opportunity to receive services.
My online booking system sends out 2 reminders 48 and 24 hours in advance. Please understand that it is your responsibility to remember your appointment dates and times to avoid late arrivals, missed appointments, and the cancellation fee. Since the services are reserved for you personally, a cancellation fee will apply. In the event that I do not receive the required notice for adjustments and cancellations the following fees will be applied to your card or alternatively billed out to you via Square:
Notification given less than 24 hours prior to appointment time will result in a 25% charge of the service booked.
Failure to show up for your appointment will result in a 50% charge of the reserved service amount.
The Cancellation Policy allows me the time to inform my standby clients of any availability, as well as keeping my schedule filled, in order to better serve everyone. Belle Ame Beauty & Wellness' policies are presented and provided in the best quality and tradition of excellent servicing for my established and future clientele.
Why do I collect health information?
Health information is collected in order to promote a safe and healthy environment for my clients, to ensure continuity of information from one visit to the next, and to assist in customizing treatments to individual needs. These measures are essential, particularly if there are medical issues or allergies which could have contraindications for certain products or services. Your health information can be updated annually or at your convenience. No service is performed without a detailed consultation.
Sanitization and Sterilization
Sanitization is a priority at Belle Ame Beauty & Wellness. I use hospital-grade sterilants and virucides to thoroughly disinfect and clean all tools and equipment. If an item cannot be thoroughly sterilized, it is thrown away after use.
Arrival
Please arrive 10 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment to allow time for you to check-in, fill out or update paperwork. New guests will be asked to complete a confidential medical questionnaire; designed with your well being in mind. You may also be asked to update your information on a regular basis.
Late Arrival
Late arrival may result in a shortened treatment time to ensure that the next guest is not delayed. Please appreciate that I cannot adjust pricing for reduced service time due to late arrival. After 15 minutes your appointment will be cancelled and rescheduled with applicable charges.
Cell Phones
Please turn your cell phones off or set on silent during your time at the studio in consideration of others and enjoy your "me time".
Valuables
You may be asked to remove jewelry for some treatments. However, Belle Ame Beauty & Wellness does not assume liability for lost personal items.
Parking
Parking is available on the street and in the parking garage directly across the street. Parking garage fees are currently $1 per hour.
Method of Payment
I accept Cash, Debit, Visa, and Mastercard. Prices are subject to applicable taxes. Prices are subject to change. Treatment times are approximate. Gratuities are not included in the service price.
Spa Promotions
Spa specials cannot be used or combined with any other offer, promotions, or third-party gift certificates and online vouchers.
Series of Treatments Return Policy
Unfortunately, I am unable to issue refunds or reimburse any payment transactions on the purchase of treatment packages. I will exchange them for other spa services of equal value or credit of equal value.
