Question 4

What is the cancellation Policy?

Accepted Answer

If you are not going to be able to keep your appointment I require at least 24 hrs notice by phone or text to 808 740 4288. If you have already confirmed your appointment and are unable to attend, you will be charged for the session as if you attended. If you let me know as early as possible of your need to cancel, and I am able to schedule another client in your spot that day and you reschedule within the same week, your payment can apply to that session.
