♡ slowlyystudio policies ♡

♡ A $25 deposit is required to secure your appointment. Your deposit goes toward your final service total and is non-refundable. Your appointment is not officially booked until the deposit has been received. All bookings must be made through booking link.

♡ Need to reschedule? No worries! Please give me at least 48 hours' notice and your deposit can be transferred once to a new appointment, subject to availability. Cancellations or rescheduling within 48 hours of your appointment will result in the deposit being forfeited, and a new $25 deposit will be required to book again.

♡ No-shows will forfeit their deposit. Repeated no-shows may result in being unable to book future appointments.

♡ Running late? Just let me know! I completely understand that things happen, but please send me a message as soon as you know you'll be late. Arriving 10+ minutes late may mean we need to simplify your design, adjust your service, or reschedule depending on the time available. Your appointment time is reserved specifically for you, so please plan your commute accordingly.

♡ Arriving 15+ minutes late without notice is considered a no-show and your appointment will be cancelled unless communicated with me directly stating otherwise. Your deposit will be forfeited and a new deposit will be required to rebook.

♡ Please allow 2–3 hours for your full service appointment. Some sets may take longer depending on length, design, nail art, and the condition of your natural nails. I don't rush my work because I want you to leave with a set I'm proud of and nails you love. ♡

♡ Slowlyystudio is a gel-focused studio. Please book a removal if you currently have product on your nails. I may not be able to accommodate unexpected removal during your appointment, especially if it would affect the time needed for your booked service. Removals can only be booked from my own work. Please reach out if you have any inquiries on removals of another artists work.

♡ Please don't pick, peel, or remove your previous set yourself before your appointment. This can damage the natural nail and make it more difficult to safely apply a new set.

♡ For the health and safety of your nails, I reserve the right to refuse or modify a service if I notice signs of infection, open wounds, significant irritation, or another condition that makes the service unsafe. In these situations, your health always comes first.

♡ Tap payments are accepted! A 2.5% processing fee is added to payments made by tap/card. Cash does not have this processing fee. Your $25 deposit is already applied toward your service total.

♡ Please double-check your service when booking. If you're unsure which service or add-ons you need, feel free to reach out to me before booking and I'm happy to help you choose the right option.

♡ Nail art is custom and hand-created. Inspiration photos are always welcome! I’ll do my best to recreate your reference while keeping in mind that hand-painted art will naturally have small differences. If you want a specific design, please send your inspiration photos ahead of time so I can make sure I have the right products and enough time.

♡ Length, shape, charms, 3D art, and intricate designs may require additional fees. If your requested design is outside of what was included in your booking, I'll always let you know before adding anything to your total. Please check nail art tier examples for approximate pricing.

♡ Please check your nails before leaving. If something isn't quite right, let me know while you're still in the studio so I can make sure you're happy with your set.

♡ I offer a short complimentary repair window for service-related issues. If a nail chips, lifts, or breaks due to an issue with the application, please contact me as soon as possible with a photo. Repairs caused by picking, biting, impact, or normal wear and tear may be subject to a fee.

♡ Please arrive with clean hands and bare nails whenever possible. Avoid applying cuticle oil, lotion, or heavy products immediately before your appointment, as this can affect product adhesion.

♡ Please keep guests to a minimum. My studio is a small, personal space, if you need to bring someone with you, please let me know beforehand so I can make sure there's enough space.

♡ One more important thing — I have a dog! 🐶♡ He may be around during your appointment and will probably want to say hello. He's very friendly and loves meeting people, but I completely understand that not everyone is comfortable around dogs. Please let me know before booking if you are uncomfortable, allergic, or have any concerns about him being present. If there's a reason he needs to be kept away during your appointment, please let me know in advance so I can make arrangements.

♡ By booking an appointment with slowlyystudio, you confirm that you've read and agreed to these policies. My goal isn't to make things complicated — it's simply to make sure we're both on the same page so I can give you the best experience possible. ♡

Thank you for trusting me with your nails! I'm so excited to have you in my little studio.

— Madeline ♡
