​

Bookings

All new clients to the Spalon must book their first appointment online or create an online profile.  This is in our effort to move to a fully digital environment in the long run. We aim to discontinuing the use of clipboards with paperwork and pens for services.  When you book or we book you, you will receive a link to answer screening questions and/or an intake form that we advise clients to fill out before coming in. We require clients to fill these out before their scheduled appointment. Rebooking by calling or booking online for return appointments is still available. Please contact us if you require assistance with online booking.

If you are a new client, please select the “FIRST TIME” option through our “BOOK NOW” option.

Please ensure you select the sugaring package for “First Time” clients ONLY. PLEASE NOTE: If you select a shorter maintenance option your esthetician can only complete as much as they can in the time that is booked and or we will charged/upgraded based on what we see so please choose accordingly.  

Cancellation Policy

Due to the popularity and demand for Sugaring & Massage Spalon Inc. services, we have a strict 19 - Hour Cancellation Policy. We ask clients to remember that we have staff that work hard and we need clients for us to pay staff and cover our own expenses. By late cancelling an appointment or not showing up, you are wasting time that could have been used to gain another client. This is a huge loss and inconvenience for us and for others to have the chance to experience our services.

​

Clients are required to inform us of cancelations, changes in date/time, and/or changes in service(s) 19 hours before the scheduled appointment time. Failing to do so will result in the Cancellation Fee being collected as a 'Late Cancel".

If a client fails to show up within 15 minutes after the appointment time and fails to reasonably notify the Spalon they are attending; the client will be charged a 'No-Show' fee as part of our Cancellation Fee.

​

A 'No-Show' or 'Late Cancel' results in a full charge for the value of the service(s) booked, or the collection of the full deposit amount for service(s) that were to be rendered at the selected timeslot the client booked. This deposit would therefore be taken as a 'No-Show' or 'Late Cancel' fee. No-Show and Late Cancel fees are collected as the Cancellation Fee. Fee's collected as the Cancellation Fee in any form are non-refundable. If a client cancels 19 hours or earlier, the deposit will be issued as a credit that can be used towards a future visit of the clients choice.

​

If on the day of your appointment you decide to cancel or change your service to a lesser priced service, you will be charged for the new service, as well as any difference between whichever service was higher price service and which ever service was lower in price. For example, if a 30 minute massage is $68.49 and a 45 minute massage is $88.49 and on the day of your appointment you decide to change your service from 45 minutes to 30 minutes, you will be charged $68.49 in addition to to $20 as a cancellation for the 15 minute service reduction.

​

Canceling the booked appointment for said date and time, or rescheduling to another day beyond the 19 hours notice you agreed to is a Late Cancel/No-Show and results in the Cancellation Fee being collected.

​

Any future ONLINE booking(s) may be disabled UNTIL payment for any fee(s) or charge(s) have been received and is up to the discretion of the Spalon staff whether or not to disable and for how long.

​

Clients who are on their cycle can still be seen as long as a tampon or menstrual cup is worn to their scheduled appointment. Therefore, please be advised that this is NOT a valid reason to cancel or not show up to a scheduled appointment. If you prefer to reschedule, please contact us NO LESS THAN 19 HOURS before your scheduled appointment in order to avoid a 100% cancellation fee based on the terms of our policy you agreed to and/or the discretion of Spalon Staff.

​

Accommodations

In the event of a cancellation or no-show, a client has 3 options:

1.The client can walk in on the same day and wait on standby for the next available time slot to do their service (DISCLAIMER: this is subject to availability of staff, rooms, and resources). We do not guarantee availability or that the service will be completed unless there is the time and staff available to carry out the service.

2.The client can collect products for the pretax value of the service(s) booked.

3.The client can send family or friends in their place for the allocated booking date and time by giving a call to 2266400938 for Mississauga OR 2267984170 for Burlington and leave a message or you will email to spaloninthe6@gmail.com for Mississauga OR to spalonlakeside@gmail.com for Burlington and informing us of the person(s) attending in their place.

​

To further elaborate and reiterate

If you have booked treatment(s) and need to cancel or make any changes to your booking(s), you must notify us at least 19 hours in advance. Groups and Parties must notify us one week in advance of their booking. A No-Show or Late Cancel results in a charge of the said Cancellation Fee for that scheduled appointment, for the value of the scheduled service(s).

--

No calls will be made to clients for any cancellations that are done within less than 19 hours. Our systems will auto-charge. Blocked credit cards/debits for Late-Cancellation/No-Show appointments will result in clients only being allowed to book online or by walking in. We also reserve the right to bar clients from attending our locations and receiving service due to this or fraudulent payments.

You agree that you will call 2266400938 for Mississauga or 2267984170 for Burlington and leave a message or you will email to spaloninthe6@gmail.com for Mississauga OR to spalonlakeside@gmail.com for Burlington to cancel before the 19 hours.

Unfortunately, arriving late with or without notice will limit your treatment time, as we must honor our schedule so the next guest will not be delayed. This means getting the remainder of your allotted time, losing out on the selected staff, or not getting the service and having to wait on standby for the next availability if any. For massage sessions 5 minutes is your undress/dress time included in your booking. Should you arrive late and have your service shortened as a result, you will still be charged the full value.  

​

Deposits

When you book a service with us using your credit card, a deposit of 20% to 50% will be taken automatically. If you cancel 19 hours or earlier, before the time of your scheduled appointment, your deposit becomes a credit toward a future service. If you cancel in less than 19 hours, your deposit becomes a part of the 'Late Cancel' charge of the Cancellation Fee and is non-refundable.

​

Collection of Payment

At the discretion of staff and depending on service rendered, we reserve the right to charge/collect payment from the client prior to their receiving of services booked. If a client leaves the store location without paying for whatever reason, we have the authority to charge the card on file.

​

Any future booking(s) may be disabled until payment for any fee(s), charge(s), or outstanding balances have been collected. It is at the Spalon staff's discretion on whether or not to disable/bar a client and for how long.

​

Taxes

Services and product purchases are charged taxes (HST) of 13%. This is subject to change based on provincial and federal laws.

​

Price Adjustments

If a client has booked a certain service but it is understood/determined by staff that a different service is required to achieve the desired results by clients, an upgrade/maintenance fee will be applied i.e.: to nails, hair removal, lashes, tanning, and/or brows. It should be noted that due notice will be given to the client regarding any price adjustments. If the service has been done, the client agrees to pay after the service.

​

Authorization of Credit Card Use

The credit card may also be used in compliance with the 'Cancelation Policy', 'Collection of Payment', 'Responsibility for Damages or Mess During Service' and 'Price Adjustments' sections of this document as well as exceptional circumstances where payment is required from the client. We may send you a 'Credit Card Charge Authorization Form' that the client agrees to fill. This form is to ensure the client is in agreement and aware of us using their credit card.

​

Please be sure to bring your credit card used for the booking as well as a valid piece of ID for authentication purposes. This is part of our policy that must be upheld to prevent fraud.Please be sure to bring your credit card used for the booking as well as a valid piece of ID for authentication purposes.

Please note that we cannot always guarantee the preferences as they are subject to availability and our NBTA Clause.

​

Gratuities and Tips

We do not require tips and/or gratuities. The biggest tip is when you return and refer others to us. In the event you still want to leave a tip or gratuity for the staff member(s) that performed your service, you can leave it with the front desk. Tips are disbursed in a transparent manner to the staff that you issue the tip to only. There is no tipping pool or any other tipping types that we do.

As a local business you mean that much to us, so we invite all levels of feedback, concerns, ideas, and more.

We prefer that clients reach out to us first versus leaving a con review, as your negative review might reflect badly on the Spalon and the entire team when really it was about that one worker that did not live up to our standards or the level of service that we strive to provide. If this is the case, we would like to know. 

​

Postponed Appointments

If we are late taking you into your scheduled appointment, you will receive an immediate call/text/email with notice of pushing your scheduled appointment.

We will, however, do our utmost to contact our clients to inform them of any changes 3 to 19 hours prior to their scheduled appointment if it is possible to do so.

​

Next Best Technician Available (NBTA)

In rare cases it may occur that the staff member you have booked with is not available due to personal issues, health issues, and/or exceptional working circumstances. While we appreciate and do our best to accommodate all technician and staff selections while booking, we may need to appoint the client to different staff. This is classified as the next best technician available. We will always do our best to appoint you to another experienced and certified team member so you are not waiting around. We will always try to put the client with staff that have the closest technique. No call will be made to the client. 

​

Varying Skills, Modalities, Styles, and Techniques

Please understand that our practitioners have specific skills and styles. If you have a strong preference for a style of massage please book ahead with a specific practitioner to avoid disappointment. For walk in's and last-minute appointments, late appointments that are on standby, we may not be able to accommodate your specific preferences. Your session time includes an assessment and discussion of your condition, including health questions, massage time, and demonstrations of self-care. Arriving sooner allows us to better understand what clients are looking for in a service and allows us to better accommodate them.

​

Further Notes

Please do not arrive in groups or with excessive baggage/luggage. Leave extra baggage in your vehicle, at your hotel/home. This is our way of controlling traffic.

​

Unforeseen circumstances at our locations may force us to cancel your appointment with an email, text, and/or phone call as soon as we can.
