Booking Policies

At Sweet 2B Sugared, every appointment is thoughtfully reserved to provide a comfortable, personalized experience. As a private, appointment-only studio, these policies help me maintain a welcoming environment while respecting both your time and mine.

Please review the following information before booking. By scheduling an appointment, you acknowledge and agree to these policies.

APPOINTMENTS & RESERVATIONS

All services are available by appointment only. Booking in advance is recommended, as availability is limited.

A valid credit or debit card is required to secure your reservation. Payment for your service is due at the conclusion of your appointment unless otherwise specified.

Please select the appropriate service when booking to ensure enough time is reserved for your treatment.

APPOINTMENT CONFIRMATIONS

All appointments must be confirmed at least 24 hours before the scheduled start time.

Automated appointment reminders and confirmation requests are sent through Square Appointments. Clients are responsible for confirming their appointments, even if a reminder is missed or not received.

Appointments that remain unconfirmed may be canceled to allow availability for other clients.

CONSULTATION & CONSENT FORMS

Required consultation and consent forms are sent electronically after booking.

All forms must be completed at least 24 hours before your appointment. Appointments with incomplete forms will be canceled.

Please provide accurate information regarding allergies, medications, skincare products, health conditions, and recent treatments that may affect your service.

Your safety and comfort are always a priority.

CANCELLATIONS & RESCHEDULING

I understand that schedules change and unexpected situations happen.

If you need to cancel, reschedule, or modify your appointment, a minimum of 24 hours notice is required.

Changes made with less than 24 hours notice will result in a cancellation fee equal to 50% of the scheduled service total.

This policy applies to all appointments and helps protect the time specifically reserved for your care.

LATE ARRIVALS

Please arrive on time for your scheduled appointment.

A 7-minute grace period is provided. Arriving 8 minutes or more after your scheduled start time will result in cancellation and a fee equal to 50% of the scheduled service total.

Because each appointment includes time for treatment, preparation, and sanitation, late arrivals cannot always be accommodated.

NO-SHOW APPOINTMENTS

A no-show occurs when a client does not arrive for their scheduled appointment and has not provided notice.

No-show appointments will result in a fee equal to 50% of the scheduled service total.

Repeated cancellations, late arrivals, or no-shows may result in restrictions on future bookings.

HEALTH & ILLNESS

If you are experiencing symptoms of illness, including fever, cold or flu symptoms, or a contagious condition, please do not attend your appointment.

Clients who arrive visibly ill or with symptoms that may compromise the health and safety of others will have their appointment canceled and may be charged 50% of the scheduled service total.

If you’re unsure whether you should attend, please contact me before your appointment.

Services may also be postponed or modified when skin conditions, irritation, or other health concerns make treatment inappropriate.

INCLEMENT WEATHER

Your safety is important.

Standard cancellation policies remain in effect throughout the year. However, exceptions may be considered when an official weather advisory or hazardous travel conditions affect the Grand Rapids metropolitan area.

Please communicate as early as possible if severe weather may prevent you from attending.

Weather-related exceptions are determined individually.

ARRIVAL & CHECK-IN

Sweet 2B Sugared is a private studio operating by appointment only.

Upon arrival, please send a text to check in and wait for confirmation before entering the studio.

This allows me to finish preparing your treatment space and ensure each client receives an uninterrupted experience.

CHILDREN & ADDITIONAL GUESTS

Services are available to clients ages 18 and older.

To maintain a quiet, comfortable environment, children and additional guests are not permitted in the studio.

Please make any necessary arrangements before your appointment.

PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT

Sweet 2B Sugared is committed to providing a respectful, safe, and professional environment.

Inappropriate comments, harassment, sexual misconduct, threatening behavior, or disrespect toward the service provider will not be tolerated.

Services may be stopped immediately, and future appointments may be refused. Depending on the circumstances, the full scheduled service amount may still be charged.

SERVICE PRICING & PAYMENTS

Service prices and availability are subject to change.

Current pricing is displayed through the online booking system. Any adjustments to your scheduled treatment will be discussed before proceeding.

Payment is due in full at the conclusion of your appointment.

Major credit and debit cards are accepted. Cash payments are welcome; exact change is appreciated.

Outstanding balances must be resolved before additional appointments can be scheduled.

REFUNDS, PRODUCTS & GIFT CERTIFICATES

Completed services are non-refundable.

Retail products, packages, promotions, and prepaid services are subject to the terms disclosed at purchase and applicable law.

If you have a concern regarding your service or purchase, please contact me directly so it can be reviewed.

Gift certificates are subject to their stated terms and applicable law.

GRATUITY

Gratuity is always appreciated but never required.

The greatest compliment is your continued trust, referrals, and support of my small business.

CELL PHONES & STUDIO ATMOSPHERE

To help maintain a relaxing environment, please silence your phone during your appointment.

If you need to take an important call, please let me know. Extended interruptions may reduce the time available for your service.

ALCOHOL & IMPAIRMENT

For your safety, services cannot be performed when a client appears impaired by alcohol or other substances.

Appointments may be canceled if impairment affects the ability to provide treatment safely or obtain informed consent. Applicable cancellation fees may apply.

POLICY ACKNOWLEDGMENT

By booking an appointment with Sweet 2B Sugared, you acknowledge that you have reviewed and agree to the studio’s policies and procedures, including applicable cancellation, late arrival, and no-show fees.

These policies are designed to provide a consistent, respectful experience for everyone.

Thank you for supporting my small business and respecting the time and care dedicated to every appointment.
