Appointment Policies

Late Arrivals & No-Show Policy

We value and respect your time. If you are running 10 minutes or more late, please call us at (281) 974-2828 so we can do our best to hold your spot. Without notice, arrivals beyond 10 minutes will be accommodated based on availability and may be considered a walk-in.

To ensure the best experience for all guests, a nonrefundable, nontransferable $50 deposit will be required to book future appointments after three consecutive no-shows. This deposit will be applied to your service. If you need to reschedule, please provide at least 24 hours notice to retain your deposit. Late cancellations or missed appointments will result in forfeiture, and a new deposit will be required for rebooking. If you prefer, you are always welcome to visit as a walk-in and be seen on a first-come, first-served basis.

While we do not charge a cancellation fee for individual appointments, we kindly ask that you notify us if you’re unable to attend. Your courtesy helps us accommodate all of our valued guests.
