Privacy & Cancellation Policy
Cancellation Policy
Booking Appointments
Anyone wishing to book an appointment with Urbana is required to provide full credit card details in advance to confirm their booking. These credit card details are securely stored on Stripe and may be charged in the event of a late cancellation (less than 48 hours notice provided) or no show appointment.
Types of Cancellations
No Show Appointments: When a client simply does not show up for an appointment.
Late Cancellations: When a client cancels or amends an appointment with less than 48 hours notice. If you need to cancel or amend your appointment we require 48 hours notice in advance of your appointment time. Contact us with 48 hours notice it’s cool, you have nothing to worry about.
Treatment Cancellations: When a client attends for treatment but is unsuitable and we have to postpone the treatment in the interest of client safety. i.e. they have tan on the area, new medications, unshaven, dye from new jeans on their legs etc. This also includes bookings where the client may have booked multiple areas and cancels one or more of those areas on the day while in the clinic having treatment.
How it Works
First Time: If a client has any one of the issues above they will need to pay a €40 booking deposit to rebook that appointment. This booking deposit is fully redeemable off their next session but should they fail to attend or have any of the above for that follow-up appointment the €40 deposit will be forfeited against the appointment time to cover our cost for the booking.
Second Time: If a client has any two of the issues above within a 12-month period they will be automatically charged a non-redeemable €40 against their card on our booking system and will have to prepay in full for all bookings with Urbana going forward.
Third Time: If a client has a third occasion where we have booked an appointment and they cannot proceed due to any of the reasons above the prepaid treatment will be forfeited to cover the cost of the booking in full and they will have to prepay in full for all bookings with Urbana going forward.
