We are happy to accommodate any appointment changes or cancellations prior to 24 hours in advance of your reservation at no charge.  Appointments are required for all services. Walk-ins can be provided with services if we have them available.

  • Body Sculpting and Micro-Channeling services require a $50 non-refundable deposit to secure your appointment.  Once you attend your appointment, your $50 deposit will be deducted from your service balance.

  • ARRIVALS:  Clients are encouraged to arrive 10-15 minutes prior to their appointment time to ensure they receive the full experience of their scheduled service.

  • LATE ARRIVALS:  If you are late to your appointment, you are welcome to receive whatever time is left in your appointment. Due to our tightly booked schedule, we are generally unable to extend your session beyond your original appointment time.

SALT ROOM:

  • The adult salt room is a "community room", and holds up to 12 clients per session.   Sessions are a time for relaxing, meditating, and napping, that's way we have a strict "no-talking" policy during each session. Should your session be interrupted by others, please come out of the session and ask a salty staff member, to assist in remedying the situation. As there are NO refunds or reschedules provided.

  • Please refrain from wearing perfume, cologne, or heavy scented lotions when coming in for salt therapy

  • Kids Salt Room, there is to be ABSOLUTELY NO TOUCHING of the generator inside the room, no horseplay or roughhousing, and NO throwing of salt, toys, etc.  Should we hear loud noises coming from the salt room, we will interrupt your session to see what is going on, if ANY of the above rules have been broken you will be asked to leave your session and forfeit any monies paid.

Why are there Cameras in the Spa?

  • As many sessions are public, we felt it our obligation that prevention is better than cure.  Cameras deter bad behavior, and we are of the opinion that cameras are in the best interest of our client’s safety.  All cameras are covered when private, class, and workshop sessions are held and the voice recording is switched off.
