Pure Essence 24hr Cancellation Policy
Your appointments are very important to Pure Essence, the room & therapist is reserved especially for you. We understand lives can get busy; therefore, we respectfully request 24 hours’ notice for cancellation or re-scheduling of a booking.
Please understand that when you forget or cancel your appointment without giving sufficient notice, clients on our waiting list will miss the opportunity to receive services.
Our appointments are confirmed 48 hours in advance because we know how easy it is to forget an appointment you may have booked months ago. Since the room and therapist is reserved for you personally, failure to provide 24 hours’ notice for cancellation or re-scheduling will result in a no show fee.
- Less than 24 hours’ notice will result in a charge equal to 50% of the reserved service amount.
- “No Shows” will be charged 50% off the reserved serviced amount.
- Less than 24 hours’ notice or no shows for appointments using gift vouchers, your gift voucher will be voided (as stated on gift voucher).
- For appointments made within the 24 hour period, the client must cancel within 4 hours’ of the appointment time or this will result in a charge equal to 50% of the reserved service amount.
The cancellation policy allows us the time to inform our wait list clients of any availability, as well as keeping our scheduled filled, thus better servicing everyone.
Here at Pure Essence, we pride ourselves on the best quality performance for our present and future clientele. Thank you for viewing and supporting our policies criteria.
