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 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.
