Mesabi Massage POLICIES

 We understand that unanticipated events happen occasionally in everyone’s life. In our desire to be effective and fair to all clients, the following policies are honored:

• 24-hour advance notice is required when canceling an appointment. This allows the opportunity for someone else to schedule an appointment. If you are unable to provide 24-hours advance notice you will be billed for the full amount of your appointment. This amount must be paid prior to your next scheduled appointment.
  
• No-shows - anyone who either forgets or consciously chooses to forgo their appointment for whatever reason will be considered a no-show. Clients who no-show will be emailed an invoice for the full amount of the session (discounts to not apply for no-show invoices). Any client who no-shows will be flagged on the MassageBook platform until payment has been made in full. Any client with a history of not showing up for an appointment will be required to pre-pay for future sessions.
  
• Late Arrivals - if you arrive late, your session may be shortened in order to accommodate others whose appointments follow yours. Depending upon the time you arrive, your therapist will determine if there is enough time remaining to start a session or if it can be shortened. Regardless of the length of the session provided, you will be responsible for the full cost of session. Out of respect and consideration to your service provider and other customers, please plan accordingly and be on time. 

If your session needs to be canceled by Mesabi Massage, we will contact you at least two hours prior to the appointment using the method of contact you used for setting up the session. You will be re-booked for the earliest available time/date within two weeks of the original appointment if possible. If the session cannot be re-booked, your appointment reservation fee will be fully refunded in 48 hours.
