STUDIO POLICIES & Etiquette

The Fine Print

Missed Appointments and Cancellation Policy:

Our time together is important. If you must cancel your appointment and it is not an emergency and you are not sick, please give at least 24 hours notice. Late cancellations and no-shows will be charged full price. We have the right to determine what constitutes an Emergency Cancellation and when to appropriately charge for your late or missed appointment.

Late Arrivals Policy:

If you arrive late for an appointment, the remaining time will be used to its best advantage. However, you will still be charged the same session price as if you arrived on time. Punctuality will assure full use of your allotted appointment time. If you are going to be more than 5 minutes late, please call as soon as you can. If you are more than 15 minutes late without a call, you will be considered a “No Show”. Missed appointments or clients who run late are a hardship on your therapist and unfair to other clients who have appointments scheduled after you. If your therapist is running late, you will still receive your full session time.

Check Policy:

We accept cash at the beginning of your session and you may tip at the end if you feel so inclined. We do not accept personal or company checks, traveler’s checks or cashier checks. You may also pre-pay on our website via PayPal.  All major credit cards are accepted (Visa, MC, American Express or Discover Cards). We do not take credit cards at the time of your session.

If You’re Under 18 or Appear To Be Under 18:

For your protection and for the protection of our therapists, we do not see anyone under the age of 18. If you appear to be under the age of 18, we have the right to ask for age verification and you must present a driver’s license or birth certificate before we will work on you. We do not make exceptions to these rules.

Right to Decline a Massage Due to Contraindications:

Under certain medical conditions, massage and bodywork are not advised (for example: recent stroke, heart-attack, surgery or chronic illness). Massage is potentially harmful to a client with a serious acute or chronic medical condition. We have the right to decline service if we feel your safety or health is at risk. If you are unsure if your condition indicates or contraindicates massage, please call your doctor or contact us prior to your visit. If we decline to massage you because of a contraindication, you will not be charged.

Right to Decline Services:

At any time, we have the right to decline service or to cancel your massage during the session for any reason.

Sick/Illness Policy:

Please do not schedule a massage if you have an acute or a contagious illness. If on the morning of your scheduled appointment, you are feeling ill or if you are coming down with something, please call to reschedule your session. When your body is compromised, massage can often exacerbate symptoms. It also puts us and our clients at risk of infection and transfer.

Massage Packages - Terms and Conditions:

Massage packages are to be paid in full prior to the first scheduled session. Massage Packages have an expiration of 6 months from the date sold. Massage Packages are non-transferable and non-refundable.
