APPOINTMENTS (IN-STUDIO & ON-LOCATION)

Booking Appointments: To secure an appointment, a non-refundable retainer is required. A payment of 50% of the total cost must be made when booking, with the remaining balance due on the day of the appointment before leaving. Leaving and/or paying at a later time is not allowed.

Tardiness: There is a 15-minute grace period for late arrivals. After that, the appointment may be canceled. If it can still be accommodated, a $25 late fee will apply.

Rescheduling: Appointments must be rescheduled using the "Confirmation Email" received at the time of booking. Rescheduling allows the retainer to be applied to a new date. If one is not provided, a coupon code in the amount paid will be sent for rescheduling.

Cancellations: Please use the "Confirmation Email" received at the time of booking to cancel.

  • For cancellations made 24 hours or less before the appointment, the retainer is non-refundable and cannot be transferred or used as credit (coupon code).

  • If canceled 48 hours or more in advance, the retainer is still non-refundable but can be transferred to another date or used as credit.

No Call / No Show: Failure to notify of not arriving results in the forfeiture of all payments. Retainers and payments are non-refundable and non-transferable. Future appointments will require approval, and no refunds will be given.

Last Minute Scheduling & Same Day Requests: Appointments scheduled with less than 24 hours' notice are considered last minute and will incur a $35 urgency fee. This fee is waived for 'Glam & Go' VIP members. To enjoy this benefit and more, visit chenesebean.com/member to join.

Preparedness: Please arrive with a clean face, free from makeup of any kind. If makeup is present, clients will need to remove it themselves before the appointment starts, which may cause delays and result in a $25 late fee. It’s recommended to arrive 20 minutes early if makeup removal is needed.

Arriving Early: In-studio appointments start at the scheduled time. If arriving early, please stay in the waiting area until the appointment time.

No Phones: Please avoid excessive phone use during the appointment, including calling, texting, scrolling on social media, and using devices such as Apple Watches, laptops, and iPads. This can impact the quality and timing of the service. If it continues, the appointment may be canceled, and the remaining balance will be due.
