Terms & Conditions

Appointment booking

Clients can contact MySkin Boutiques through telephone, email or social networks for inquiries and appointment bookings. Clients can also book their own patch tests and treatments through our online booking system.

We kindly ask that clients arrive around 10 minutes prior to the appointment. This allows time for the correct medical and consultation forms to be completed and for our therapists schedules to run smoothly.

Cancellation policy

We kindly ask that all clients who wish to cancel their appointment, telephone us at least 24 hours before the scheduled appointment. If less than 24 hours notice is given, then that treatment or session will be lost and is non-refundable or non-transferable to another date.

Our online booking system will not allow you to cancel or re-schedule your appointment within 24 hours of your appointment.

Late policy

Clients that will arrive late to their appointment, must let the clinic know via telephone as soon as possible. We will always try to accommodate our clients, however please understand that we may not be able to provide the full treatment time.

No-show policy

Clients that fail to attend their appointment without giving any notice will lose their treatment or session. The treatment or session will be non-refundable or non-transferable to another date.

Rescheduling

We work tirelessly to ensure that our clients have an outstanding experience at our clinics. There may be some occasions, where unfortunately we have to reschedule an appointment and we don’t take this option lightly.

Patch test

If a client hasn’t received laser hair removal with us before, the client must have a patch test before receiving any treatment.

The client must shave a small patch in the areas that they wish to have treated 12-24 hours before the consultation and patch test. If the consultation and patch test is for a full body package, the client must shave a patch on the forearm and lower leg. If the client is looking for their face to be treated, a patch on the chin and the back of the neck must also be shaved.

Laser hair removal (before treatment)

We kindly ask all clients to ensure that body hair is shaved, we recommend 12-24 hours before the appointment. If a client attends their appointment and is unshaven, our therapists may deem the client as untreatable. In this event, we reserve the right to turn the client away and therefore, the session will be lost.

We kindly ask that all clients have removed all fake tan, body creams and deodorant before having treatment. If a client is receiving laser treatment on the facial area, we kindly ask that make-up and creams are removed before the appointment.

Laser hair removal (during course of treatment)

If a client is undergoing a course of laser hair removal, we advise the following:

Avoid sitting in direct sunlight to prevent getting a natural sun tan

Avoid wearing fake tan

Only shave between treatments, do not wax or pluck hairs

Wear a minimum of SPF 30 at all times

If any of the above are not adhered to by the client, our therapists may deem the client as untreatable. In this event, we reserve the right to turn the client away and therefore, the session will be lost.

Facial treatments

If clients are able to remove make-up and facial creams before facial treatments, then this would be hugely appreciated as it allows more time for the treatment itself. If clients are unable to removal make-up and facial creams before treatments, then our therapists will be able to remove this for you.

Medical Changes

If a clients has medical circumstances have changed, then the client must let the clinic or therapist know as soon as possible. Some medical conditions, like pregnancy, leave the client unable to receive some treatments from us. In these scenarios, clients may transfer their treatment to a suitable one for their medical condition or pause their membership.

Sale treatments and courses

Discounted and sale items are non-refundable, unless the client is unsuitable based on medical grounds. In this scenario, a doctors note must be provided.

Full price treatments and courses

If a full-price course or treatment has been purchased but unused, it is valid for a refund. If a full-price course of treatment has been partially used, the remaining sessions are non-refundable however they may exchanged for another treatment of the same monetary value.

Memberships

Clients who are signed up to a MySkin Boutiques in 6 or 8 subscription must pay their first installment before they receive any treatment. To allow time to start seeing results, clients must be signed up to their membership for a minimum of 6 months. After this, the membership is a month-by-month rolling agreement. If a client wishes to cancel their membership within the first 6 month period, this will only be agreed to on the grounds of medical reasons.

Clients are not permitted to cancel their own direct debits. If this is done, a charge will incur. To cancel a Direct Debit, clients must contact MySkin Boutiques via telephone at least 14 days prior to the next payment date, failure to do so will result in the next payment coming out.

Our subscriptions have been designed to provide an affordable option of receiving treatments. In the event that a client cannot attend their appointment, they will still be liable to pay for that monthly installment. Memberships still abide by our cancellation, late and no-show policy.

All refund requests and enquiries must be made in writing to info@msboutiques.co.uk

Consultations for our laser hair removal & skin treatments are completely free when you buy a course of treatments, otherwise there is a £25 fee.

This can either be fully refunded after your consultation or deducted from the cost of treatment/products you purchase. If we determine that the treatments are not suitable after the consultation – a refund for the treatment cost will be given but £25 will be deducted.

Unfortunately due to appointment demand if you fail to give us 48 hours’ notice or do not attend your consultation the deposit will not be non-refundable.

All our treatment courses are valid for 15 months from the date of purchase, and we highly recommend you maintain the frequency of appointments as recommended by your skin expert (generally every 4 to 6 weeks) so you can take advantage of your sessions within the time period.

It is your responsibility to notify us if you are on any medication, change medication or have any medical conditions, including pregnancy, that may prevent you from being able to use your treatments, in which case your course can be put on hold.

If you are not receiving the expected results from your treatment course you have the option to swap your treatment course for an alternative treatment of the same value. 

In the event the client chooses a cheaper treatment course no refund will be given. Similarly, you are welcome to choose a treatment of higher value but the difference between the original treatment and the higher value treatment must be paid. 

All treatment course prices are subject to change without prior notice.

All service prices are in £ Sterling including VAT at the current UK rate. We reserve the right to change any advertised price before accepting an service request. All services are subject to availability and may be withdrawn at any time. If your order cannot be fulfilled you will be offered an alternative or given a refund for the unavailable service(s).

• We aim to resolve Level One Complaints within 10 business days, however in some cases, particularly if your Complaint is of a complex nature, this may not be possible. If this is not possible for any reason you will be informed of the delay, the likely length of the delay and the reasons for it.
• At the conclusion of the Level One complaints procedure, regardless of the outcome, we will provide you with full details of our investigation, our conclusions from that investigation, and any action taken as a result. You will also be reminded of your right to appeal our decision and escalate the complaint to Level Two in the form of an Appeal.
• Level Two:
• If you are not satisfied with the resolution of your complaint at Level One, you may appeal the decision within 5 business days, and have the complaint escalated to Level Two. Appeals are handled by senior management level members of our team.
• Appeals, quoting your original Complaint Reference, should be directed to your original Complaint Handler who will forward the request to an appropriate Appeal Handler. Receipt of Appeals will be acknowledged in writing within 10 business days.  When we acknowledge receipt of your Appeal we will also provide details of your Appeal Handler.
• If your Complaint relates to a specific employee, that person will be informed of your Appeal and given a further opportunity to respond. Any communication between you and the employee in question should take place only via the Appeal Handler and we respectfully ask that you do not contact the employee in question directly concerning the Complaint while we are working to resolve it.
• If we require any further information or evidence from you, the Appeal Handler will contact you as quickly as is reasonably possible to ask for it. We ask that you use reasonable efforts to supply any such information or evidence to us quickly in order to avoid delaying the complaints handling process.  If you are for any reason unable to provide such information or evidence we will use all reasonable efforts to proceed without it, however please be aware that we will not ask for further information or evidence unless we consider it important to the successful resolution of your Complaint.
