What is your cancellation policy?
​
All appointments are paid in advance and require a 24-hour cancellation. Less than a 24-hour notice will result in a charge of $100. No shows will be charged 100% of the reserved service amount. This charge will be added to your invoice. Please email us at beauty@kaycatro.com if you need to reschedule or cancel your appointment!
Weddings/Events: In the event of a wedding/event cancellation the retainer will not be refunded. If the event is cancelled 60 days or less prior, the full balance is owed. All changes need to be made 60 days prior to your wedding day to be eligible for a refund. You are more than welcome to add on services but if someone cancels within 60 days before your wedding you must notify us to update our artist's timeline. You may replace them with someone else but there are no refunds within 60 days before your wedding day.
How far in advance should I book my appointment?
Sooner is always better than later! We prefer at least 1 week for non-wedding appointments but can sometimes accommodate last minute requests. The average time is about 6 months in advance for weddings/events, but we have some clients that book 12 to 16 months out.
