Studio Policies | Thoughtful Care Begins With Clear Expectations
At Uniquely Effective Skincare®, every appointment is intentionally reserved to provide private, personalized care without rushing or interruption.
These policies help protect your appointment time, maintain a calm studio environment, and ensure that every client receives the professional attention they deserve. By scheduling an appointment, you acknowledge and agree to the following policies.
Appointments
Services are available by appointment only. Advance scheduling is recommended because appointment availability may be limited.
A valid telephone number, email address, and payment method may be required to reserve an appointment. Appointment confirmations and reminders are provided as a courtesy. Clients remain responsible for remembering and managing their scheduled appointments.

New Client Appointments
New clients should complete all required consultation and consent forms before treatment begins. Please provide accurate information about your health, medications, allergies, recent procedures, current skincare products, and known sensitivities.
Your first appointment includes a skin assessment. Treatment steps may be modified or postponed when necessary to protect your comfort and safety.
Arrival
Please arrive approximately 5–10 minutes before your scheduled appointment, particularly for your first visit.
Arriving early allows time for check-in, restroom use, and any required forms without reducing your treatment time. Please wait until your scheduled appointment time before entering if another client is being served.
Late Arrivals
Late arrival may reduce your treatment time to avoid delaying the next client. The original service price will still apply.
Appointments may need to be rescheduled if there is not enough remaining time to perform the service safely and effectively.
Cancellations and Rescheduling
Please provide at least 24 hours’ notice when canceling or rescheduling an appointment. To make a change, call 248-780-9746.
Exceptions may be considered for sudden illness or genuine emergencies at the studio’s discretion. Repeated late cancellations or rescheduling may require full prepayment before another appointment can be reserved.
Missed Appointments
Failure to arrive for a scheduled appointment without prior notice is considered a no-show.
If a client fails to attend or cancel an appointment, the 50% booking deposit will be forfeited and cannot be transferred, credited, or refunded.
Full prepayment may be required before another appointment can be scheduled.
Illness and Contagious Conditions
Please reschedule if you are experiencing fever, vomiting, flu-like symptoms, a contagious illness, an active skin infection, unexplained rash, or another condition that could affect your safety or the well-being of others.
If symptoms are present when you arrive, the appointment may be postponed. Whenever possible, contact the studio before your appointment so appropriate guidance can be provided.
Health, Medications and Treatment Suitability
Clients must disclose relevant medical conditions, medications, allergies, pregnancy, implanted medical devices, recent surgery, active cancer treatment, and recent cosmetic or medical procedures.
This includes, but is not limited to:
- Prescription retinoids or topical exfoliating medications
- Recent waxing, laser treatments, chemical peels, microneedling, injectables, or surgery
- Known ingredient, adhesive, tint, or skincare allergies
- Pacemakers, metal implants, or electronic medical devices
- Active infections, open wounds, sunburn, or severely irritated skin
- Reduced sensation or impaired healing
- Current or recent oncology treatment
Certain treatments may require modification, postponement, patch testing, or medical clearance. Uniquely Effective Skincare® reserves the right to decline or discontinue any service that may not be appropriate.
Services support the skin’s appearance, comfort, and function. They are not medical treatments and do not diagnose, treat, or cure medical conditions.
Treatment Modifications
Complexion Reset® treatments are personalized according to current skin function, tolerance, and suitability.
Steam, exfoliation, massage, astringents, masques, infusion technologies, and other treatment elements may be modified or omitted when appropriate. A specific technique or modality cannot be guaranteed if professional assessment indicates that it should not be performed.
Results and Expectations
Skincare results vary according to skin condition, health, lifestyle, product use, treatment consistency, and individual response.
No specific result can be guaranteed. Long-term improvement generally requires consistent professional care, appropriate home care, sun protection, and realistic expectations.
Please communicate any discomfort during your treatment so adjustments can be made immediately.
Brow and Tinting Services
Clients receiving brow tinting or related color services may be required to complete a patch test according to product instructions and individual risk factors.
Tinting or waxing may be postponed when the treatment area is irritated, compromised, recently exfoliated, sunburned, or affected by medications or procedures that increase skin sensitivity.
Payment
50% deposit is due at time of booking. Balance of payment is due at the completion of service. All deposits are transferable and move with your appointment or remains as a credit for future services.
Accepted payment methods are those displayed at booking. Prices are subject to change. The price in effect at the time of service will apply unless a prepaid offer states otherwise.
Gratuities are optional and always appreciated, but never required.

Product Purchases
Please review product ingredients and directions before use. Discontinue use and contact the studio if unexpected irritation occurs.
Product recommendations are based on information available at the time of consultation. Skin needs and tolerance can change, so continued suitability cannot be guaranteed without follow-up assessment.

Children and Guests
To preserve privacy, safety, and a quiet treatment environment, please attend your appointment without additional guests or unattended children unless prior arrangements have been approved.
The studio is not equipped to supervise children while services are being performed.
Minors
Clients younger than 18 must have consent from a parent or legal guardian. A parent or guardian may be required to complete consultation forms, authorize treatment, and remain available during the appointment.
Age requirements may vary by service.
Privacy and Confidentiality
Client privacy is an important part of the Uniquely Effective Skincare® experience.
To support safe and appropriate care, Uniquely Effective Skincare® maintains confidential client records containing information relevant to treatment suitability. This may include allergies, pregnancy, health or medical conditions, medications, skin conditions, known sensitivities, recent procedures, and potential reactions to ingredients such as nuts or fish-derived oils.
This information is collected solely to evaluate treatment and product suitability, personalize care, maintain accurate service records, and protect client well-being. Records are securely maintained and accessible only to authorized members of the Uniquely Effective Skincare® team, except when disclosure is required by law.
Consultations, treatment information, photographs, and other personal details are handled with discretion. Photographs will not be taken or used for promotional, educational, or social-media purposes without separate written permission.
Clients are also asked to respect the privacy of others who may be entering, leaving, or receiving services within the studio.
Photography, Video and Recording
Audio recording, photography, video recording, livestreaming, and filming during consultations or services are not permitted without prior written approval.
This policy protects client privacy, professional protocols, proprietary treatment methods, and the calm atmosphere of the studio.
Your treatment. Your time. Your privacy.
Mobile Phones
Please silence mobile phones and other electronic devices during treatment.
If you must remain available for an urgent call, please let your esthetician know before the service begins.
Personal Belongings
Please keep jewelry, valuables, and personal belongings secure. Uniquely Effective Skincare® is not responsible for items that are lost, misplaced, or damaged during a visit.
Respectful Conduct
A professional and respectful environment is required at all times.
Harassment, threatening behavior, inappropriate requests, discriminatory conduct, or actions that compromise safety or privacy will result in immediate termination of the appointment. Future service may be refused.
Right to Refuse or Discontinue Service
Uniquely Effective Skincare® reserves the right to modify, postpone, decline, or discontinue a service when necessary to protect the health, comfort, safety, privacy, or professional boundaries of the client or provider.
Services may also be declined when required forms are incomplete, important health information has not been disclosed, or client expectations fall outside the scope of professional esthetic care.
