Terms & Conditions

Effective Date: 21 May 2026

These Terms & Conditions govern your use of the Skincare & Waxing website (skincarewaxing.co.uk) and services. By using the Site or booking treatments, you agree to these Terms.

1. Booking & Appointments

All treatments can be booked online through Fresha, by phone (07821 781807), by WhatsApp, or by email (maria@skincarewaxing.co.uk).

A confirmed booking constitutes an agreement to attend at the scheduled time. I ask for at least 24 hours’ notice for cancellations or rescheduling.

Clients who are more than 10 minutes late may forfeit their appointment or have the treatment time shortened. A rescheduling fee of £25 may apply for late cancellations or no-shows.

Patch tests are required for all new clients at least 24 hours before any tinting or lash lifting treatment. Treatments cannot proceed without a completed patch test.

2. Gift Vouchers

Gift Vouchers are non-refundable and are valid for a period of six months from the date of purchase. After the expiry date, the vouchers will no longer be accepted. Vouchers cannot be exchanged for cash.

The terms regarding late cancellation and “failure to show” also apply to gift voucher appointments. If you fail to provide the required notice, the gift voucher will be voided at the salon.

Gift Vouchers for Skincare & Waxing can be used as full or partial payment for treatments or products offered. If the value of the treatments or products is less than the face value of the voucher, no change will be given. However, the remaining balance will be retained on the Gift Voucher and can be used for future visits.

If the value of the treatments or products exceeds the face value of the Gift Voucher, the voucher holder will be required to pay the difference.

3. Third Party Vouchers

Clients with third party vouchers who are more than 10 minutes late or fail to show up for their scheduled appointment will forfeit their full voucher treatment without exception.

Appointments must be scheduled and completed before the voucher’s expiry date. No appointments will be honoured after the expiry date.

A rescheduling fee of £25 applies to all clients with a third party voucher. Clients who fail to provide 48 hours’ notice of cancellation will forfeit their voucher completely.

4. Payment

Payment is due at the time of treatment. I accept cash, card payments, and gift vouchers.

Prices are listed on my Services & Prices page. I reserve the right to update prices at any time. Any price changes will be reflected on the website and booking system before they take effect.

5. Health & Safety

It is your responsibility to inform me of any medical conditions, allergies, medications, or skin sensitivities that may affect your treatment.

I reserve the right to refuse or discontinue a treatment if I believe it may not be safe or suitable for you.

If you are pregnant or have any health concerns, please let me know before booking. Some treatments may not be suitable during pregnancy.

6. Results & Expectations

Individual results may vary. I do not guarantee specific outcomes from any treatment.

Some treatments require multiple sessions for best results. I will advise you on a recommended treatment plan during your appointment.

Following aftercare advice is important for optimal results. I will provide aftercare instructions where applicable.

15. Force Majeure

I will not be liable for any failure or delay in performance of services where such failure or delay results from causes beyond my reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, government restrictions, public health emergencies or pandemics, fire, flood, power outages, transport disruptions, or other events affecting Skincare & Waxing or the wider Kirkham area.

In such cases, I will reschedule affected appointments at no additional cost to you, or, where rescheduling is not possible, refund any amounts paid in advance for services that cannot be delivered.
