Booking Policies & Forms

 BY BOOKING AN APPOINTMENT WITH PERMETIKA, YOU ARE DECLARING THAT YOU AGREE WITH OUR CONSERVATIVE APPROACH, AND ALL THAT IT ENTAILS. YOU AGREE THAT THIS "LESS IS BEST" CONCEPT & ARE WILLING TO RETURN FOR SUBSEQUENT FOLLOW-UP SESSIONS TO COMPLETE THE WORK.  

• Booking any cosmetic procedure should NOT be taken lightly.   This process requires thought and planning because it leans more toward surgery than a normal cosmetic procedure like hair, nails, or lashes. We invite you to read over the information links on this page to make sure you are a candidate for the services we offer.  

​

• When making the decision to have a permanent mark added to your face, please keep in mind that your skin is a biological system that is designed to rid itself of foreign matter.  We are putting foreign matter in the form of "art" into your "skin", so your body is going to do its best to take it out.  HELP PREPARE YOUR SKIN FOR THE PROCEDURE BY TAKING ARNICA MONTANA PRIOR TO YOUR APPOINTMENT.  Read the links on this page (and/or) in the footer section of this website for more detailed information like how to know if you're a GOOD CANDIDATE,  learning how to PLAN AHEAD,  PRE-PROCEDURE TIPS, what to do for AFTERCARE. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THIS IS DONE WITH YOUR BEST INTEREST IN MIND. SINCE WE START WITH A CONSERVATIVE APPROACH, THIS COULD MEAN THAT THE INITIAL RESULTS COULD BE TOO LIGHT. BUT DON'T WORRY. SHAPE AND COLOR ADJUSTMENTS ARE NORMALLY MADE DURING SUBSEQUENT SESSIONS UNTIL YOUR DESIRED RESULTS HAVE BEEN ACHIEVED. 

​​

• YOU ARE DECLARING THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND, AND HAVE NO OTHER QUESTIONS REGARDING THE INFORMATION IN THE LINKS IN THE FOOTER BELOW. 

​

•  IF YOU HAVE ALREADY BOOKED YOUR PROCEDURE . . . Please be sure to return to this page to submit your CLIENT DATA, MEDICAL HISTORY, AND HEALTH DECLARATION prior to the day of your appointment. 

​

• Please remember that following our guidelines does not guarantee 100% success. Bottom line, your own body has the final word on how much color with stay and how true the color heals. However, there are things we can do to help encourage MARGINALLY better color retention. Every client will have a different outcome. Just remember that shape and color can be adjusted on subsequent sessions

​

• AFTER we see how the initial session has healed in. Then we will be able to tell what color and shape adjustments to make later. 

 

• I HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE CONTENT ON THE PAGE CALLED REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS.

​

​

FOLLOWUP APPOINTMENT PRICING 

Appointment pricing is for the initial appointment only.

Follow-up pricing is a separate charge. Please see our PRICING PAGE for specific details.

 

BOOKING FEES, NO-SHOWS & LAST-MINUTE CHANGES

A NON-REFUNDABLE BOOKING FEE of 50% is collected at the time of booking to reserve your spot on our calendar. This fee is required to help clients remember the importance of their appointment as all procedures & classes here do require advance preparation time. 

​

WHY DO WE REQUIRE A 50% BOOKING FEE?

If you cancel inside the week prior to your appointment, we have no way of filling your spot to make up for lost revenue because other clients need time to prepare. So your commitment to booking indicates to us that you understand and are committed to the process, appointment, or class that you have scheduled.​

​

LAST-MINUTE APPOINTMENT CHANGES . . . . . $100

We understand that last-minute conflicts in scheduling may arise for you. If this happens, and you can work it out to fit you in ON OUR NEXT AVAILABILITY, then we will only charge $100 for missing the appointment, instead of forfeiting the entire booking fee.

​

REQUIRED:  A 5 DAY NOTICE OF CANCELLATION  

This notice is required to move your appointment.  NO EXCEPTIONS.  If a 5-day notice is not given, your booking fee will be forfeited due to the loss of income on our schedule because it is virtually impossible to fill your spot. 

​

• If you are contagious or running a fever you will need to postpone your appointment. DURING COVID, we did everything possible to reset your appointments when clients became ill. We will continue to work with you should you become ill or encounter an UNAVOIDABLE conflict in your schedule.  If you are able to come within a week or two, we try to will reset with no penalty as a courtesy to you.

​

• NO SHOWS will need to set a NEW appointment online and pay a NEW booking fee.

​​​​

• If you are on antibiotics, you should postpone your appointment for a couple of weeks to allow the medication to leave your system.  Otherwise, there is a possibility that the treatment will not heal with optimal results. The medication is fighting to rid your body of a bug... and it may see the pigment as a potential threat, even though it's not. 

​

• Appointments are set for an ample amount of time. We allow appointments to run one hour over the allotted time because we understand this is your face - and we want things to be as perfect as you do. However, if the appointment runs longer than one hour over the appointment will be called to an end. If time allows, extra time beyond will be billed at an additional $250 per hour.

​​

​

• RESCHEDULING: 

  • WE UNDERSTAND THAT TRUE emergencies do arise, SO IF YOU HAVE LIFE ALTERING EVENT OR EXTREME ILLNESS, YOUR BOOKING FEE WILL NOT BE FORFEITED IF THE Appointment date is scheduled within a week or two.  

  • Appointments may be transferred to a new date prior to the five (5) day notice is required. This time is to allow time for another client to fill your spot.

​​​

• BY BOOKING THIS APPOINTMENT, YOU AGREE WITH OUR "LESS IS BEST" CONCEPT AND ARE WILLING TO RETURN FOR SUBSEQUENT FOLLOW-UP SESSIONS TO COMPLETE THE WORK AND YOU UNDERSTAND OUR RECOMMENDATIONS AND POLICIES BELOW.  

​

• We look forward to working with people who understand and agree with our LESS IS MORE approach. This means less work is done upfront to give us the opportunity to evaluate how things settle in on a small scale, then build toward your desired result over a period of a few months in subsequent perfecting sessions.

​

• So don't be surprised if your work heals in too light. This is the case for most people... This means almost no one is left with work that is too dark.  Doing this allows us to get "closer to perfection" without crossing that line of regret!  And please realize, that while YOU ARE IN GREAT HANDS HERE, absolute perfection does not exist. There will always be something to work on. You just have to be realistic about your expectations and choose not to be radical in your idea of perfection. Working in SKIN can be problematic at times, and your patience is required in order to achieve optimal (not perfect) results. ​

​

• Appointments are set for a normal allotted amount of time. We allow appointments to run one hour over the allotted time because we understand this is your face - and we want things to be as perfect as you do. However, if the appointment runs longer than one hour over the appointment will be called to an end. If time allows, extra time beyond will be billed at an additional $250 per hour.
