We only accept Cancellations Monday to Saturday 9:30am to 5:00pm.  If you allow us 24 hours notice (Day before) we may transfer 50 % of your booking fee this is entirely our decision.  Saturday cancellations for Mondays are classed as less than 24 hours notice and charged at 100% unless we are able to fill the slot.  If you cancel on the day the 100% of the full booking fee is due and not refundable or transferable under any circumstances as its just the same if you are asked to work and cancelled on the day you would expect to be paid. 

We work by strict appointment only to devote our time to you so please DON'T offend us by requesting a booking fee back when you cancel the day before or on the day of your appointment as we treat all our clients fairly and are unable to make any exceptions this is our small business we depend on it for our livelihood.

Block Bookings Payments are due one week in advance 
If you book a block of 6 or 10 and decide to cancel before the end the previous payments are due in full and must be paid in full immediately.

We recommend you make your reservations well in advance to avoid the disappointment of not being able to get booked in at a desired time or date with your chosen Consultant. Most of our patients book their appointments 12 months in advance.  If Carmen Elizabeth or any other Specialist or therapist is unavailable we reserve the right to replace them with a suitably qualified replacement.   Where we have to cancel we will endeavour to give you 48 hours notice and will transfer your booking fee to the next available date suitable to you or you can request a refund we aim to refund within 14 working days.

Arrival time
Please plan to arrive on time for your scheduled appointment, allow 5 mins for Parking and filling in any pre-treatment consultation cards that may be necessary for you and note it's not always possible to seat  you in the classroom should you arrive early due to social distancing and space limitations.  Please leave on time it helps us keep to our rest times and helps us stay on time others waiting to come in.
 
Late arrival
Our scheduling permits the right amount of time to complete your service.  If you expect to be late to your appointment, please let us know as soon as possible.  If you arrive 10 minutes late, your appointment may need to be rescheduled and you will lose your total booking fee.  This is to ensure our client’s scheduled appointments are on time and they are able to get the privacy they expect at  The Healing Cabin.
 
Medical conditions and Special needs
Prior to your visit and receiving your treatments, please inform your consultants and anyone who has treated you with any chronic or special needs or serious medical conditions, Operations, pregnancy, injuries, allergies, or disabilities.  Please notify and work with your GP and or  medical  practitioners as this will help customise your service to ensure the highest standard and satisfaction.  This is entirely your responsibility and your choice.
 
Health Condition on the day
If you have a potentially contagious condition on your hands or feet, signs of a fungus or warts, Cold, Flu or virus we can’t provide services to you until the condition has fully cleared up.  We also can’t perform services if open or infected wound is present. If you have a condition on your hands or feet that you think is suspect, please notify us before the service begins, and we will advise you on whether or not services can be legally and safely performed.  If you have any warts or verruca's please keep them covered during your visit.
 
Children
We love to treat children! but unattended children in the clinic are not permitted unless prior authorisation has been given as it can be disruptive and dangerous and we are not insured.  We use many products that are harmful if ingested or applied to unprotected skin. If you have children under 10 who are not receiving nail services, where possible please keep them safe and leave them at home.
Children under the age of 15 should be accompanied by an adult.
Children under the age of 16 will need parental consent and presence to receive any treatments.  We don’t apply Acrylic nail enhancements to any child under the age of 15.  We don’t apply Gel Polish or eye treatments to any child under the age of 12.  These treatments on young children’s tender nails and eyes can’t be guaranteed not to be harmful and could cause temporary or even permanent damage.  Children are not permitted to wait in the cabin during treatments without prior arrangement so if you arrive at your appointment with them your treatment may be refused and you may lose your booking fees.
 
Guarantee
We cant  guarantee your recovery or any other treatment as your homework in-between sessions matters.   Repairs for breakages, tears, and corner breaks on nails are chargeable. Please remember, nails are jewels, not tools. Be kind to your nails and they will look beautiful for weeks after your service. Traditional polish services are not guaranteed.  Lash and brow treatments are not guaranteed as the aftercare is also key to them lasting.

Mobile Phones
Please be respectful and switch off or set your phone to flight mode, silent or vibrate, and use a moderate speaking tone if you need to make a call please take it outside the salon.  Additionally, pay attention to your Therapist as having to repeatedly wait for a hand to become disentangled from a mobile phone slows down our service times, and can make both you and your Therapist late for the next appointment.
