Cancellation & Rescheduling Policy
Last updated: January 2026
At Mesmerising Beauty, we understand plans can change. Here's our fair policy to ensure the best experience for everyone.
Cancellations
24+ Hours Before Your Appointment
- Prepaid bookings: Full refund
- Pay-at-venue bookings: Full deposit refund
Less Than 24 Hours Before Your Appointment
- Prepaid bookings: Deposit fee retained (25% of booking, max £10), remainder refunded
- Pay-at-venue bookings: Deposit is non-refundable
No-Show (Missed Appointment Without Notice)
- Prepaid bookings: Full payment retained
- Pay-at-venue bookings: Deposit forfeited
Important: Not showing up is treated more seriously than a late cancellation. Please let us know if you can't make it, even if it's last minute.
Rescheduling
24+ Hours Before Your Appointment
- FREE to reschedule to any available time
- Your payment or deposit transfers to the new booking
- No limit on how many times you can reschedule (with 24+ hours notice)
Less Than 24 Hours Before Your Appointment
- Prepaid bookings: Deposit fee (25%, max £10) applies, booking moves to new time
- Pay-at-venue bookings: Original deposit forfeited, new deposit required
Note: The 24-hour rule is based on your original appointment time. You can reschedule to any available time, including same-day appointments.
Deposit Amount
Your deposit is 25% of your booking total, capped at a maximum of £10.
| Booking Value | Deposit |
|---|---|
| £100 | £10 (capped) |
| £40 | £10 |
| £20 | £5 |
| £10 | £2.50 |
Your deposit counts towards your total – you'll pay the remaining balance at the salon.
Why This Policy?
When appointments are cancelled or changed at short notice, we often cannot fill that time slot. This policy helps us:
- Keep prices fair for all customers
- Ensure our beauticians are compensated for reserved time
- Maintain availability for customers who plan ahead
