24-hour Cancellation Policy: Missed appointments and late cancellations disrupt the flow of our day and limit our ability to serve others.

Respectfully, all missed, cancellations or rescheduled appointments within 24 hours will be charged the full fee of the missed service, based on the visit duration and type booked to the credit card on file. Current fees for all appointment types are listed on each visit.

To avoid fees, appointments may be changed to virtual visits if you are unable to attend in person.

Late arrivals will result in a shortened treatment or may be considered a late cancellation (over 10 minutes).

We will do our best to accommodate you when possible.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

We are looking forward to seeing you at Rio!
