NEW BROWS TERMS OF SERVICES
BOOKINGS
We have a booking system in place which allows you to book your appointments online. Card details will be required at the time of a booking.
After your appointment, the cost of the treatment will be charged to your card.
The booking system we currently use is via Fresha.com, where you will be directed to register to make a secure booking with us. Any bookings that are not confirmed will be cancelled by us. For any appointments not made via our booking system, will require a deposit to secure your booking. We only hold bookings for 48hrs and if no deposit is received in that time, we will offer your space to someone else.
CANCELLATION POLICY
If you need to cancel or re-schedule your appointment, we require at least 48 hours notice. If you cancel your appointment before 48hrs, there is no charge. However if you cancel or re-schedule and give us less than 48hrs notice, 50% of the treatment cost will be charged to your card. Whilst we understand that sickness and emergencies occur, unfortunately this is no fault of ours.
If you fail to turn up for your appointment, arrive more than 15 mins late, or cancel within 1 hour of your appointment time, 100% of the treatment cost will be charged as a 'No Show'.
This applies to all of our treatments with no exception.
For Microblading consultation & patch test, there is a £30 fee which is redeemable if you decide to proceed with treatment. Once the deposit is paid at the consultation, it is non-refundable, unless you have an allergic reaction from the patch test which needs to be proven within 48hrs of having the test.
All Microblading re-touch appointments need to be taken within 60 days of the initial treatment, otherwise you will be charged a Top Up fee. Failure to give 48hrs notice of cancellation will result in a fee of £50 being charged before you can re-book again.
ARRIVALS & LATENESS
We understand that there may be a delay in getting to your appointment, however we run a tight schedule, so late arrivals of more than 15 mins will count as a 'no show' and 100% of the treatment cost will be charged to your card.
If you arrive up to 15 mins late, we will carry out your treatment but in a reduced time.
Please do not bring anyone with you to your treatment, this includes babies and young children for health and safety reasons.
PATCH TESTS
A patch test is required at least 48 hours before your appointment. Providing no adverse reactions take place, we will be happy to proceed with your treatment. Failure to complete a patch test before your appointment could result in your appointment being cancelled and 100% charge applies or alternatively you can sign a waiver if you wish.
For Microblading, a patch test is done at the consultation which we advise a min 72hrs hours before.
If a reaction occurs, we will not proceed with treatment.
CHANGE OF TREATMENT
You may change your treatment choice, providing you give us 48hrs notice. This applies to HD Brows and Brow Lamination only. However if you have booked a Lamination treatment, but change your mind on the day of your appointment to have HD Brows instead, you will be charged the cost of the Brow Lamination treatment.
PROMOTIONS
All of our offers are for a limited time only. If you book in within the promotional dates, but then have to re-schedule to a time when the offer no longer applies, you will not be entitled to the original offer price, but instead will be expected to pay the price at the time of your treatment.
REFUNDS
Once the treatment has been carried out, under no circumstances will we issue a refund.
PAYMENTS
If you have booked via our online booking system, you will automatically be charged the total cost of the treatment on the day of your appointment after your treatment.(please refer to our cancellation policy above). If you do not book via our booking system, we will require a 50% deposit to secure your booking. This can be paid by bank transfer at the time of booking. The balance will then need to be paid in full at your appointment which can be by card, cash, or bank transfer.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
It is your responsibility to disclose any medical conditions/medication to us prior to your treatment. Failure to disclose this information may impact your treatment and can be detrimental. We cannot be held responsible if you do not disclose this information.
