• After 10 minutes, there will be an additional $15 late fee added to your cost of service, if I am still able to service you.
• Depending on my schedule for the day, your appointment can be cancelled after the 10 minute grace period, if I am not able to accommodate your tardiness.
• If your appointment is cancelled, the late fee will be waived since services will not be rendered.

THESE POINTS MATTER TOO:

If I have to alter your appointment for any of the above reasons: No additional deposit or fees will be required.
• Understand that I cannot guarantee your desired appointment when I am altering appointment date and time, but I will do my best to accommodate you.
