Booking and Cancellation Policy | Skinmetics Clinic Australia

BOOKING AND CANCELLATION POLICY

We are by appointment only! We do not accept walk ins.

How to Book:

A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to secure an appointment time in our system. For discounted/sale treatments, a full deposit is required to be paid.
A tentative booking will be given to you until deposit has been made to secure your booking. All bookings will be on hold for you for 10 minutes on our booking system. If deposit is not made in this time, your tentative booking will be released. If you have not paid a deposit this means you are also not booked in for that time and are not on our system.
After deposit is paid, a reminder text message will be sent to your mobile number at 10.00am the day prior to your appointment which you will need to confirm by replying "Y". Confirming this message means you are 100% booked in for your appointment time.
If you fail to reply "Y" to this text message, then your deposit will be forfeited and your appointment time slot may be given to another client.
When you arrive to your appointment, please arrive at your appointment time, as we will not take you in any earlier. We may be with another client, preparing for your treatment, sterilising equipment or on break, please be mindful of this.

** Deposits are non-refundable and non-transferrable to another person and must be in your own name **
