4. 72-Hour Notice Requirement
Clients must notify the studio at least 72 hours before their scheduled appointment to reschedule.
Any cancellation or reschedule request made within 72 hours is considered a late cancellation and will result in automatic deposit forfeiture.

• Car accident (police or insurance report)
• Immediate family death (parent, spouse, sibling, or child)
Required documentation:
