  • Appointment Scheduling

    Clients must schedule appointments in advance either through phone, email, or our online booking system.

    Appointments are subject to availability, and clients are encouraged to book in advance to secure their preferred time slot.

  • Non-refundable Payments

    Client must pay 50% of service(s) booked to reserve their appointment time. This nonrefundable payment will be applied at checkout. Appointments will not be booked or held without payment in advance.

    (Once payment is submitted, you are agreeing to Melanin Skin Solutions Cancellation Policy and all other policies listed are binding.)

  • Late Cancellation & 'No-Show' policy

    If cancelling within 72 hours of your scheduled appointment, you will be allowed one reschedule without forfeit of your nonrefundable payment. Cancelling within 24 hours of your appointment or without verbal communication that you won’t make it to your appointment, will be an automatic forfeit of your payment. A new appointment and nonrefundable payment will need to be made. This payment ensures Melanin Skin Solutions and its staff are financially covered in the case of a late cancellation or ‘no-show’ on the day of your appointment. No exceptions. After 3 late cancellations/’no-shows’, client will be referred out and no longer eligible for services at Melanin Skin Solutions with any staff member.

    Client must wait outside or in lobby seating until exact scheduled appointment time to ensure staff has time/space to clean and sanitize the room before next appointment.
