About LooveBeauty

LooveBeauty is a professional nail salon based in North Shields, offering a range of services including gel polish, BIAB, acrylics, hard gel, nail art, and pedicures.

1. Booking Policy

Website Bookings

All appointments can be booked through our website: www.loovebeauty.com.

We recommend booking your appointment in advance through our website to secure your preferred date and time. Walk-ins are welcome where possible, but availability cannot be guaranteed as we may already have clients booked in. Spaces are limited, so booking in advance is recommended.

Deposits

A non-refundable deposit is required to secure all appointments.
The deposit amount will vary depending on the service booked.

Your appointment is only confirmed when:

• The required deposit has been paid in full, and
• You receive a full email confirmation from LooveBeauty.

If you do not receive an email confirmation, your appointment is not booked.
Deposits are deducted from the final appointment total.

Rescheduling & Cancellations

LooveBeauty does not offer appointment cancellations.
Appointments may only be rescheduled with at least 24 hours’ notice.
If enough notice is given, the deposit can be transferred to a new appointment date.
Appointments rescheduled with less than 24 hours’ notice will lose the deposit and will require a new deposit to rebook.
Failure to attend an appointment will result in loss of the deposit and may lead to refusal of future bookings or removal from the client list.

Salon Cancellations

In rare situations, LooveBeauty may need to cancel or move an appointment due to illness, emergencies, or unexpected events. If this happens, clients will be contacted as soon as possible and offered a new appointment.

2. Arrival Policy

Please arrive on time for your appointment. Clients arriving more than 10 minutes late may have their appointment cancelled.

If you arrive late, LooveBeauty may:

• Complete the service in the remaining time
• Shorten the service
• Reschedule the appointment
• Refuse the appointment

Clients must inform LooveBeauty before the appointment about:

• Fungal infections
• Warts
• Open wounds
• Contagious conditions

6. Allergy Policy

Clients must tell us about any known allergies before treatment.

Although we use high-quality products and follow safe practices, allergic reactions can happen at any time.

If clients bring their own products, LooveBeauty accepts no responsibility for reactions or damage caused by those products.
If a reaction happens, we offer free removal of the product and recommend seeking medical advice.
Refunds are not given for allergic reactions.

7. Service Refusal

LooveBeauty may refuse or stop a service if:

8. Appointment Timing

LooveBeauty cannot guarantee appointments will finish at a specific time and is not responsible for missed commitments caused by appointment delays.
Complex nail art or detailed designs must be discussed before the appointment.
Last-minute design changes may not be possible due to time limits.

Appointment times can vary depending on:

• Nail condition
• Design complexity
• Extra services
• Repairs or adjustments

9. Repairs & Maintenance

Nail Maintenance

Nail extensions and gel nails should normally be infilled or replaced every 3-4 weeks.
Overdue infills may increase the risk of lifting, damage, fungal infections, or bacterial infections.

Pedicures

Toenail treatments and spa pedicures are recommended every 6–8 weeks.
Hard skin naturally returns over time and is not a reason for refunds. Daily foot cream is recommended for maintenance.

Free Repairs

Broken nails, chips, or design issues may be repaired free of charge within 14 days of the original appointment.
Damage caused by accidents, biting, picking, poor aftercare, or misuse is not covered.

10. No Refund Policy

Due to the nature of beauty services, all services are non-refundable.

If adjustments are needed, they must be requested during the appointment.
Once you leave the salon, refunds will not be given for dissatisfaction.
