credit cards, checks, and cash. We require a 50% deposit for first-time
customers, which can be paid via credit card over the phone.

If someone asks about refunds, our policy is: Full refund if canceled
24 hours before appointment. No refund for cancellations within 24 hours,
but we can reschedule at no charge.
