T&Cs

For our generalised terms and conditions, please read below. For our Full Background Terms and Conditions Contract please see further down the page to all that applies.

Appointment Fees, Amendments and Cancellations

Non-refundable booking fees are required at the time of booking to secure appointments. This amount will be deducted from your bill total when you have received your treatment. Should, for any reason, your non-refundable deposit not be settled at the time of booking, your appointment will be retracted from the booking diary 2 weeks prior to the booking date / time. Your fee is only transferable if the appointment is amended up to 48 hours before the original treatment date/time. Your fee will be kept on your account if your appointment is cancelled up to 48 hours before the original treatment date/time. Fees will not be refunded only redeemed or transferred, or kept on account under stated conditions. The fee will be lost should you cancel or change your appointment WITHIN 48 hours of your treatment date/time and this includes the need to self-isolate surrounding Covid-19 guidelines / track and trace. Please note: Pure Emporium holds the right to keep your non-refundable booking fee on your account should your appointment need to be altered / rescheduled to meet advised government guidelines due to the Coronavirus pandemic to enable enhanced safety and efficiency measures. The fee will be able to be redeemed at your next appointment.

Non-refundable booking fees will be lost should you join us for an appointment within the 2 week period following a Covid-19 vaccination as we will be unable to treat you. Your non-refundable booking fee will also be lost should you not receive a patch test if your appointment requires you to.

If a booked treatment is cancelled without notice or changed on arrival, the full cost of the original booked treatment must be paid if it equates to more than the altered booking. In the event that your therapist or stylist is not available to carry out your appointment, through circumstances beyond our control, we reserve the right to transfer the booking to an alternative therapist or stylist if available. In the unusual instance where we may need to cancel your booking, we will endeavour to contact you by telephone and/or email. Certain treatments require a patch test at least 48 hours prior to treatment. Please inform us if you require your treatment to be downstairs.

Please arrive on time for your appointment. Should you arrive late, your treatment may need to be altered or changed to coincide the allotted booking time and the full amount for the originally booked treatment will be charged.

Payments

We accept all major credit/debit cards and cash. Prices are subject to change without notice.
