Policies

Cancellation Policy

Notice period

We require a minimum of 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. This gives us a fair chance to offer the slot to another client.

Deposits

  • A 30% deposit is required to secure every booking, and is deducted from the final treatment cost on the day of your appointment.
  • Deposits are non-refundable. With at least 24 hours' notice, we can move your deposit once to a new appointment time.
  • If your deposit is forfeited under this policy, a new deposit will be required to rebook.

Late cancellations (less than 24 hours)

  • Appointments cancelled or rescheduled with less than 24 hours' notice will result in your deposit being forfeited.
  • This covers the time reserved for you that we are unable to fill at short notice.

No-shows

  • A no-show is when you miss your appointment without any notice.
  • No-shows result in your deposit being forfeited, and a new deposit will be required to rebook.
  • Repeated no-shows or late cancellations may result in refusal of future bookings.

Arriving late

  • Please arrive on time for your appointment.
  • If you arrive more than 10 minutes late, we may need to shorten or cancel your appointment to protect the diary.
  • In this case, your deposit may be lost.

Sickness & contagious conditions

  • If you are unwell, have a contagious condition, or suspect a nail/skin infection, please contact us as soon as possible.
  • We may ask to reschedule your appointment in the interest of safety and hygiene.
  • We will always apply common sense and fairness where genuine illness is involved, but reserve the right to enforce our policy where appropriate.

Patch tests

  • Some treatments require a patch test within a specified timeframe before your appointment.
  • If a required patch test has not been carried out, we may be unable to perform the treatment, and our late cancellation / no-show terms may still apply.

How to cancel or reschedule

You can cancel or amend your appointment using our online booking system, or by contacting us directly using the details on our Contact page.

By booking an appointment at MMM Beauty, you agree to the terms of this Cancellation Policy.

Why a clear cancellation policy matters

MMM Beauty is an appointment-only studio with generous treatment slots so we can prep, perform services, and sterilise thoroughly between clients. When plans change last minute it leaves time that we can rarely fill, which impacts other clients who are waiting for builder gel, brow, or skin availability.

Our policy outlines notice periods, deposit retention, and what to do if illness strikes unexpectedly. If you’re unsure how it applies to your booking, send us a quick message via the contact page or reply to your confirmation email and we’ll advise the fairest approach.

Following these guidelines keeps the diary running smoothly, ensures staff time is protected, and helps us keep delivering the calm, high-standard experience our Brackley clients expect.

Use the booking link in your confirmation email or log into the Square portal 24+ hours before your slot. If you cannot access it, contact the studio directly.

Let us know as soon as possible. Genuine sickness is handled sensitively, but we may need to retain deposits where late notice prevents the slot being filled.
