BOOKING YOUR APPOINTMENT
Welcome to Azalea Beauty & Skin, we are excited to help you transform your skin!
To book an appointment simply call our friendly team on 0431 016 271, alternatively you can click here on the BOOK ONLINE button or at the top of the page and follow the prompts.
Please note: when making a booking you will be required to pay a booking fee to secure your appointment.
UPON ARRIVAL
For your first time coming to Azalea Beauty & Skin, please ensure you have filled out any consultation forms sent to you via text message prior to arrival. As we do not have a waiting area, it is best for you to wait in your car until you receive a text message from your therapist to let you know that she is ready for you.
Please arrive on time for your appointment. Arriving late for your appointment may mean your Therapist is unable to perform the full treatment you were booked in for and sometimes being 5 minutes late is too late for us to perform your treatment at all. However, you will still be charged for the full treatment.
Azalea Beauty & Skin prides itself in creating a relaxing and serene environment for you and others in a clinical setting. In order for us to maintain this and for the safety of everyone (as we have many dangerous, fragile and expensive machines) we ask you not to bring any young children into the clinic when you come for your appointment unless they have an appointment for a treatment with us.
To respect everyone’s experience, please keep noise levels to a minimum and ensure your mobile phone is switched off before you enter the clinic.
CANCELLATIONS & RESCHEDULING
We understand that sometimes you may need to change your appointment, but we ask that you give us at least 24 hours’ notice prior to your appointment time so that we can offer your time slot to another client.
Last minute cancellations and rescheduling of your appointment, less than 24 hours’ notice (during our business hours) will result in a booking fee. Packages and Gift Certificates are non-refundable. Unless we can fill your appointment from our waitlist.
Failing to not show up for an appointment will incur the full fee of your appointment and will not be able to book in again until this has been paid.
If you are unable to attend your scheduled appointment, within the notice period please send a friend or family member in your place and we will happily accommodate them.
As a courtesy we send out text message reminders of your scheduled appointment day and time, however, please do not rely on these “reminders”, always add appointments into your calendar, this is your responsibility.
If you do not accept our booking policy, we welcome you booking your appointment on the day you would like to come in. However, please be mindful that you may not get an appointment.
We hope that you will appreciate our booking policy.
Cancelling on the day of your scheduled appointment, results in a 50% charge of your booking.
Any outstanding fee will need to be settled strictly within 14 days. Failure to do so will result in being unable to reschedule.
To avoid being charged when cancelling, we recommend that clients notify us at the time of receiving their confirmation message. This is 24 hours before the scheduled appointment.
Re-offending clients will have to prepay future appointments.
Failing to confirm attendance will result in your appointment being cancelled. We must receive confirmation by our automated system; replying ‘Y to your confirmation message sent 24 hours prior, shall confirm your position.
We will attempt to contact clients three times before cancelling appointments if there is no confirmation. If we do not hear by the end of the business day, prior to the scheduled time, it will be cancelled.
Please note: We will not take note of or respond to any text messages or emails regarding cancellations, whether sent during business hours or outside our business hours. We have a strict policy of managing all issues relating to cancellations or rescheduling appointments via telephone on 0431 0162 71.
Azalea Beauty & Skin reserves the right to cancel any future appointments as necessary.

COURTESY & CLIENT RESPONSIBILITY
Running late to your appointment puts stress on our Therapist’s schedule. Please notify us as soon as possible to see if we can accommodate.
If your appointment has to be rescheduled because we are unable to fit you in, this is recognised as a no show & the following charges will apply.
If your Therapist decides they can see you, but has to reduce treatment to prevent interrupting other client appointments, the original charge will still apply.
It is not acceptable to show up late & to ask for a reduced treatment, while excepting to be charged for the lesser time.
Booking in for a particular service & then changing your mind as to what service you require is not acceptable. We designate the correct time for each client, if you request for a lesser treatment the original booking will be charged. If you request for additional treatments, please discuss with your therapist to see if this can be accommodated.
Letting us know ahead of time if there is a possibility of needing to reschedule is much appreciated. It is likely we can accommodate moving you to a more appropriate time if several days’ notice is given.
It is the client’s responsibility to make sure we have correct contact details when booking.
Please provide us with more than one contact number if your regular contact is often unattended.
If you act in any way that is abusive towards employees, we have the right to deny service & to ask clients to leave the premises.
WHAT TREATMENT / PRODUCTS DO I NEED?
Each client receives a complimentary consultation prior to their appointment where we customise and package the most suitable treatment to achieve your skin goals. This includes a combination of in salon treatments and home care to ensure you achieve real, visible results.
