If I am not able to make a scheduled appointment. I agree to cancel or reschedule the appointment at least 24 hours in advance. I agree to pay $35 or 50% of the full session rate (whichever is greater) if I give less than 24 hours’ notice.
I agree to pay the full session rate if I give 2 hours’ notice or less, or if I miss an appointment without giving notice.
If within 24 hours of my season, I develop a contagious illness or have a sudden unplanned health or personal emergency rendering me unable to make my appointment.
