Refund, cancellation and appointment policy
All clients will be required to complete a consent form prior to their first appointment. Any change to your circumstances, either your personal details or medical history must be advised to our staff prior to any appointment. It is the client’s responsibility to disclose all medical issues to North Shore Aesthetics. North Shore Aesthetics cannot be held liable for any unknown or undisclosed medical issues. To ensure you get your full treatment we require you to arrive 15 minutes prior to your appointment time. If you are late, we may not be able to provide your full treatment. Any adjustment made to your treatment time due to late arrival will result in your being charged for the full appointment. In the event we are unable to perform your treatment due to late arrival you will be required to pay for the full treatment. In the case of prepaid treatments, the treatment will be forfeited.
North Shore Aesthetics do not provide refunds for products or services as a result of change of mind. This does not exclude your rights for a refund under consumer law where there is a major problem with the product or service. In the event a refund is requested for medical reasons, we reserve the right to request you provide us with a medical certificate.
We require a minimum of 48 hours’ notice for any appointment cancellation. If you fail to cancel with 48 hours’ notice a cancellation fee of 50% of your treatment fee will be charged (or $200 in the case of consultations). In the case of pre-paid treatments, the treatment will be forfeited.
