APPOINTMENTS
If you are new to Classique Spa & Beauty Therapy, we welcome you to our salon family! Please arrive at your appointment on time so that your Therapist has enough time to go over any questions regarding your treatment. We like to talk about any medications, issues, or products you might be using that could interfere with your service. It's important for you to be informed about your treatment so please make sure to check our F.A.Qs or ask upon booking your appointment.

Twenty-Four (24) hours before your appointment we will send you text to confirm your appointment details. We really need you to respond to us because otherwise we are unsure if you are coming or not; please feel free to respond to the text message or call us on 03 544 4708 and either confirm or reschedule your appointment with one of our Therapists or leave us a message. Our automated confirmation text messages can only receive replies of "Yes" or "No."

Please also note that if you are cancelling your appointment via GoogleApp or Facebook to ensure to contact us before the morning of your appointment as these can be missed due to a full schedule of appointments. Please ensure that if you are cancelling your appointment on the day due to life happening, you will need to call us on the primary number given.

CANCELLATIONS AND NO SHOWS
We understand that stuff comes up, but we ask that you give us at least twelve hours notice before you cancel your appointment. We will work to accommodate you if your schedule changes last minute, but please provide as much notice as possible. We confirm appointments so we can plan each day and schedule our bees most efficiently. Cancellations and no-shows impact us and other clients who may have wanted your time slot. Our policy is to be as understanding and accommodating as possible. We simply ask that you please be considerate! Repeat cancellations and no-shows will be addressed privately on a case-by-case basis and may be charged 50% - 100% of the service cost.

RUNNING LATE!
Anything can happen from traffic to kids, life always happens - if you want our advice always bank on needing extra time to get to your appointments. Chances are if you are only five (5) minutes behind we can try our best (no promises) to fit you in, otherwise just get to us safely and we’ll do our best to make sure you get your service. (Longer services such as facials and full body waxing may have to be shortened). If you are running 10-15 minutes behind there is a high possibility you will need to reschedule your appointment as we have further bookings throughout the days generally back to back.

CHILDREN….we love them, we have them but…….
Unless your child is receiving a treatment, for their safety we ask that you not bring them with you to your appointment. Not only would some of our clients who are receiving relaxing treatments prefer to keep the quiet and serene environment, but we are also operating a business which is filled with Dangerous Goods and Heated equipment, thus imposing a massive health and safety risk any time children are brought into the salon.

Should there be no possibility for alternative care for your children please note that our therapists are not babysitters and are not liable or responsible for your children we have a responsibility to our clients and performing the treatments clients have booked in which does not always mean we will be out the front whilst your appointment is happening. Your children must be supervised by an adult at all times if you are to bring them into the premises - unfortunately this means that should you have an appointment involving your lashes being beautified/Brazilian waxing/Spray tanning you will either need to bring another adult with you, find alternative care or reschedule your appointment as you cannot during these specific appointments supervise your children.

ANIMALS
Whilst most of the staff own or love dogs, cats or rodents of various sizes, it has been our policy for some time to not allow animals in the treatment rooms for a number of reasons. We have facials and relaxing treatments in our rooms and if a dog barks it will disturb that client who has come in to relax and escape from the outside world. We have clients and staff who are allergic to dander. Our rooms have equipment and wax warmers plugged into the walls and an animal loose in the room could create an unsafe situation.

With all that as background, we have updated our policy to allow your dog to be in the treatment room if they are a licensed therapy dog or can fit into a carry case so they are not loose in the room. If your dog is a therapy dog it must be house-trained. We hope you understand. If you are going to be bringing a service dog or a dog in a case, please let the Therapists know prior to your appointment.

CELL PHONES
Cell phone ringtones do not constitute spa music. Please turn them off in the Spa or switch to “silent” mode. Also please be aware that there are other clients in the salon if you need to take a phone call during your appointment, feel free to do so, however please do not impose on others relaxation time and remember to keep your phone off speaker-mode. Thank-you.

WALK-INS
We do accept walk-ins, but only for quick treatments such as underarms and lip waxes. We will always do our best to accommodate any appointment request so give us a call or drop in and we'll do what we can! However this does not always mean that we can fit in an hour long treatment walk-in, please be aware that others have requested a reserved booking at that time and we will do our best to fit you in where possible.

PAYMENT
We gladly accept cash, Mastercard, Visa and debit cards. We also accept Classique Spa & Beauty Therapy gift cards. We don't accept cheques.
