1. Cancellation and Rescheduling Policy

Policy Description:

Maintaining a strict cancellation and rescheduling policy is vital. This policy should clearly state how much notice (typically 24-48 hours) clients must give to cancel or reschedule an appointment without incurring a fee.

The policy should also specify any fees associated with late cancellations or no-shows.

Example Message to Clients:

"Dear [Client's Name], we understand that plans can change. If you need to reschedule or cancel your appointment, please let us know at least 24 hours in advance to avoid a cancellation fee. This allows us to offer your slot to another client. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!"

2. Late Arrival Policy

Policy Description:

Clients need to understand that late arrivals can affect the quality and duration of their appointment. Establish a policy that outlines how late a client can be before their appointment is either shortened or rescheduled, typically 10-15 minutes.

Include any potential fees or adjustments to service that may apply.

Example Message to Clients:

"Hello [Client's Name], please aim to arrive on time for your lash appointment. If you're running late, give us a quick call. Please note that arriving more than 15 minutes late may require us to shorten your service or reschedule your appointment to ensure the best results and respect the time of all our clients."

3. Payment Policy

Policy Description:

Your payment policy should specify acceptable forms of payment and when payment is expected—usually at the time of service. You might also want to include policies on deposits for new clients or for long appointments, which can help prevent no-shows and late cancellations.

Example Message to Clients:

"Hi [Client's Name], just a reminder that payment is due at the time of service. We accept [list of payment methods, e.g., cash, credit cards, mobile payments]. For longer sessions, a deposit may be required to secure your spot. Thanks for your understanding!"

4. Pre-Appointment Preparations Policy

Policy Description:

Clients should arrive at their appointments ready for the service. This includes having clean lashes free from makeup and avoiding caffeine or other stimulants that might cause twitching.

Clearly outline what is expected of clients before they arrive for their appointment.

Example Message to Clients:

"Dear [Client's Name], to make the most of your appointment, please arrive with clean lashes and no eye makeup. This helps in applying your extensions more efficiently and increases their longevity. Avoiding caffeine before your session is also recommended as it can minimize eye movements. Thank you for preparing in advance!"

Communicating Your Policies

When introducing these policies to your clients, clarity and politeness are key. Ensure that all policies are communicated at the time of booking and are easily accessible on your website or booking platform. You might also consider having a sign in your studio that gently reminds clients of these policies.

Implementing and enforcing these policies helps in running your lash studio more effectively, ensuring that both you and your clients have a positive and smooth experience.
