Cancellation Policy
I get it—life shifts. Things come up. But to protect my time and yours (and to make sure every client gets the experience they deserve), I ask for at least 24 hours’ notice for any cancellations or reschedules.
⸻
What to Expect
✨ 24+ hours’ notice – No problem. No fee.
💫 Less than 24 hours’ notice – A 50% cancellation fee will apply.
⸻
Respectful Reminders
🌿 Frequent Late Changes – After 3 or more late cancellations, reschedules, or no-shows, a deposit may be required for future bookings.
🌱 Unpaid Fees – Any outstanding cancellation fees must be paid before rebooking.
🌵 Late Arrivals – There’s a 15-minute grace period. Later than that, your appointment may be considered a no-show with a 50% fee. If we proceed but need to shorten your service due to time, the full service cost still applies.
⸻
Additional Considerations
🔹 Service Downgrades at Appointment – If you arrive and switch to a cheaper service than what was booked, and the new total is less than the cancellation fee, you’ll be charged whichever is greater—the service performed or the cancellation fee.
🔹 Repeat No-Shows – Multiple no-shows may require a 50% non-refundable deposit to book again.
🔹 Emergency Exceptions – I always handle true emergencies with compassion on a case-by-case basis.
🔹 Service Changes – If you need to update the services booked, just give me a heads-up in advance so I can plan accordingly.
🔹 Child Appointments (Ages 5+) – I happily accept children ages 5 and up, but please make sure they’re emotionally and physically ready for a salon haircut before booking. If a child is unable to remain calm and still, becomes overly upset, or refuses the service, I may need to stop or decline the appointment for safety reasons. In these cases, the cancellation fee or even full service price may still apply, depending on how much time and product was used.
If you’re unsure or want to chat about your child’s readiness, feel free to reach out before booking.

Thanks so much for respecting my time, my space, and the energy I pour into each appointment.
