Effective · Last updated · Version 2026.08.28

Section 01

Policy introduction

Appointment only

Silk Lash Empire is appointment only. Walk-ins are not accepted.

Section 02

Appointment and Deposit Policies

Deposits and appointment holds

A standard appointment requires a 50% non-refundable deposit to reserve the appointment. The deposit is applied toward the service total. This applies to normal online bookings and other reservations that do not qualify for the in-person prebooking exception.

A deposit payment link expires after one hour. If the required deposit is not completed before the link expires, the appointment may be released or cancelled.

Services and deposits are non-refundable except where SLE management determines an exception is required by applicable law or approves an exceptional circumstance. Management discretion is not guaranteed.

Deposit-free in-person prebooking

A client may reserve only their next appointment with $0 collected at booking when they prebook in person at checkout immediately after a completed appointment, keep an active card securely on file, and are not subject to the repeat-no-show 100% prepayment requirement. This exception does not apply to phone, text, or later online bookings.

If the client does not want to maintain an active card on file, the normal 50% deposit applies.

If a qualifying deposit-free in-person prebooking violates the cancellation or No Show policy, 50% of the scheduled appointment price is charged to the card on file.

Prepaid Service Series

Series and prepaid sessions

Silk Lash Empire may offer prepaid service series that include a defined number of services or sessions. The exact services, number of sessions, price, included complimentary services, redemption limits, and other series-specific terms are disclosed with the series at the time of purchase.

Series sessions may be redeemed only for the services included in the series and remain subject to all current SLE service eligibility requirements and Salon Policies.

Current Fill Series are specific to the exact lash style and fill interval purchased. Remaining sessions cannot be transferred, exchanged, converted, or credited toward a different lash style, fill interval, service, or Fill Series. For example, a Volume 2-Week Fill Series cannot be converted to a Hybrid/Wet 2-Week Fill Series or to a different fill interval. If a client changes services, the new service or Series must be booked or purchased separately, and unused sessions remain subject to the original Series terms and expiration.

Appointments booked using a prepaid series session are subject to the same cancellation, rescheduling, late-arrival, and No Show rules as other appointments. If a series appointment is canceled or rescheduled with less than 48 hours' notice, or is treated as a No Show, the applicable series session is forfeited. SLE does not charge a separate cancellation or No Show fee for the same series-covered service after that session is forfeited. Any repeat No Show restriction that applies to the client remains in effect.

If Silk Lash Empire or the assigned artist cancels or reschedules the appointment, the series session is not forfeited.

Prepaid series and series sessions are non-transferable. Series purchases are non-refundable except where required by law or when SLE management approves an exceptional circumstance. A management exception is not guaranteed.

Any series validity period or expiration term will be disclosed at the time of purchase and applied subject to applicable law.

Additional terms for a specific series, such as included services, complimentary add-ons, same-day redemption requirements, artist-level fees, or other redemption restrictions, are stated in the series description and apply together with these Salon Policies.

Section 03

Cancellation, Rescheduling, Late Arrival and No-Shows

Cancellations and rescheduling

Cancellations and reschedules require at least 48 hours’ notice.

Appointments booked within 48 hours of the appointment time remain final.

When the applicable late-cancellation or No Show policy is violated, a standard 50% deposit is forfeited, a qualifying deposit-free in-person prebooking is charged 50% of the scheduled appointment price, and a client on 100% prepayment status forfeits the applicable full prepayment.

After an appointment is forfeited or treated as a No Show, any replacement appointment is a new reservation and requires the applicable new deposit or prepayment.

A management exception may be reviewed in an extraordinary situation, but it is not guaranteed.

Late arrivals

Accepted late appointments still end at the originally scheduled time and owe the normal full booked service price. The provider does not rush the service or delay the next guest to make up lost time.

Lash extension services

  • Lash extension appointments have a 10-minute grace period.
  • After the 10-minute grace period, the artist decides whether enough time remains to perform the service properly without compromising quality or delaying the next guest. The artist is not obligated to accept the appointment merely because the client is under 20 minutes late.
  • If the artist accepts and performs the appointment after the grace period, one $15 late fee applies.

Services other than lash extensions

  • Services other than lash extensions have no grace period. Clients must be ready at the scheduled appointment time, and any lateness immediately reduces the time remaining.
  • The provider decides whether sufficient time remains to perform the booked service properly without delaying the next guest and may decline the appointment when there is not enough time.
  • If the client is more than 10 minutes late and the provider still accepts and performs the appointment, one $15 late fee applies.

All services

  • More than 20 minutes late is automatically a No Show. A provider may classify an appointment as a No Show earlier when insufficient time remains to complete the service appropriately.
  • If an appointment becomes a No Show, the $15 late fee is not charged in addition to the applicable No Show treatment.

No-shows

A No Show includes failing to attend, arriving more than 20 minutes late, or arriving late when the provider determines there is insufficient time to complete the appointment appropriately and declines the service.

  • Standard 50% deposit booking: the deposit is forfeited.
  • Qualifying deposit-free in-person prebooking: 50% of the scheduled appointment price is charged to the active card on file.
  • Client on 100% prepayment status: the applicable full prepayment is forfeited.
  • A separate $15 late fee is not stacked on a No Show.

Repeat No Shows

2 No Shows within a rolling 12-month period require 100% prepayment for all future appointments, online and in person. Clients under this restriction are not eligible for deposit-free in-person prebooking.

The restriction remains in effect while the client has 2 or more No Shows within the preceding rolling 12 months. Once the count falls below 2, the normal booking and deposit rules apply again.

Section 04

Refunds and Service Concerns

Completed services and concerns

Completed services are non-refundable. A change in preference after a completed service does not qualify for a refund.

Contact the salon within 3 calendar days of the lash appointment with a service concern. Qualifying concerns are reviewed under the Three-Day Lash Fix Policy. This policy does not remove any rights provided by applicable law.

Section 05

Lash Extension Policies and Disclaimers

Lash retention

Lash retention cannot be guaranteed. It varies with the natural lash cycle, lifestyle, skin type and oil production, sleeping habits, skincare and makeup products, heat and steam exposure, picking, pulling or rubbing, and aftercare adherence.

Silk Lash Empire is not responsible for poor retention caused by improper aftercare, natural shedding, lifestyle factors, oil-based products, excessive heat or steam, or products that interfere with adhesive.

Lash extension and removal services involve work in the eye area. Irritation, sensitivity, redness, watering, swelling, or an allergic reaction may occur.

Contact Silk Lash Empire promptly about discomfort or a possible reaction. SLE does not perform a scheduled salon service when active irritation or another concerning condition is present in the treatment area and does not promise lash removal as an alternative. SLE does not diagnose or treat medical conditions. Persistent or worsening symptoms should be evaluated by an appropriate licensed healthcare professional.

Section 06

Lash Aftercare

Daily lash care

Failure to follow aftercare can contribute to poor retention, premature lash loss, irritation, buildup, or damage to the extensions.

  • Cleanse lashes daily.
  • Avoid oil-based products near the eyes.
  • Avoid excessive heat and steam.
  • Avoid pulling, rubbing, or picking.
  • Avoid sleeping directly on the lashes when possible.
  • Follow all written or electronic aftercare instructions from SLE.

Section 07

Three-Day Lash Fix Policy

Qualifying minor corrections

Contact Silk Lash Empire within 3 calendar days of the lash appointment. A qualifying concern may receive one complimentary fix appointment limited to 20 minutes.

The complimentary fix policy applies only to qualifying services originally performed at Silk Lash Empire by an SLE artist. It does not apply to work performed by another salon.

Contact SLE as early as possible. The concern must be reported within the standard three-day window. If the salon is closed on the final day, leave a voicemail explaining the concern; a missed call without a voicemail does not count as notice. If SLE is closed or unable to accommodate a qualifying fix on the final day, the appointment may be scheduled for the following calendar day. This one-calendar-day extension is not open-ended.

The artist or management determines the final qualifying adjustment based on the original service and available time.

After 3 calendar days, touch-ups, corrections, or adjustments require a new paid appointment unless the concern was reported within the three-day window and SLE confirms the one-day closed-or-unavailable extension.

What a qualifying fix may include

  • Unusual or excessive shedding.
  • A minor lash adjustment.
  • Adding or removing a small number of lashes.
  • Adding limited spikes or wispy detail.
  • Another minor correction that can reasonably be completed within 20 minutes.

What the fix does not include

  • A complete redesign, full refill, complete removal, or new service.
  • A major style change or work exceeding 20 minutes.
  • Issues caused by improper aftercare.
  • Concerns first reported after the three-day window.
  • A missed call without a voicemail or other confirmed communication does not count as reporting a concern.

Section 08

Lash Fill Qualification

Timing and extensions remaining

The artist evaluates the extensions remaining at arrival. Within days 4-24, a booked fill that does not meet its minimum remaining-extension threshold may require the correct fill level or a new full set, subject to timing and availability.

On day 25 or later, the client is not eligible for any fill. A new full set is required regardless of the percentage of extensions remaining. This is an SLE timing, application, and natural-lash-health standard; the artist does not have discretion to qualify a day-25-or-later appointment as a fill.

Removal plus a new full set is required when the remaining extensions or lash condition make removal necessary. The artist determines whether removal is needed, not whether a client at day 25 or later qualifies for a fill.

  • 1 Week Fill: 4-10 days with at least 75% of extensions remaining.
  • 2 Week Fill: 11-17 days with at least 60% remaining.
  • 3 Week Fill: 18-24 days with at least 45% remaining.

Section 09

Foreign Extensions and Removals

Extensions applied elsewhere

Silk Lash Empire does not fill extensions applied by another salon. Existing extensions from another salon require a removal and a new full set.

SLE cannot verify the adhesive, lash materials, isolation, placement, or techniques used and wants responsibility for the complete application it services.

Section 10

Brow, Waxing, Tinting and Lamination Policies

Brow sensitivity and service risks

Brow waxing, tinting, and lamination may cause temporary redness, irritation, swelling, bumps, dryness, itching, skin lifting, staining, or an allergic reaction.

Results can vary based on skin type, hair type, sensitivity, lifestyle, skincare, oil production, aftercare, and natural growth pattern.

Brow lamination uses solutions to shape and set brow hairs. Results vary, hair gradually returns to its natural growth pattern, and results are not guaranteed. Possible risks include irritation, dryness, allergic reaction, overprocessing, breakage, or uneven results.

Section 11

Brow Aftercare and Results

Aftercare

Improper aftercare may contribute to irritation, uneven results, premature fading, poor retention, or ingrown hairs. Silk Lash Empire does not diagnose or treat skin conditions.

  • Avoid water, steam, excessive sweating, tanning, saunas, pools, and makeup around the brow area for 24-48 hours.
  • Avoid oil-based products and exfoliation around the brow area for 24-48 hours.
  • Avoid scratching, picking, or touching the area.
  • Keep laminated brows moisturized with a nourishing oil or serum recommended by the artist.
  • Begin gentle exfoliation after two to three days when recommended after waxing to help reduce ingrown hairs.
  • Follow all written or electronic SLE aftercare.

Results vary

Brow waxing, tinting, and lamination results vary. Skin type, hair growth, skincare products, oil production, lifestyle, and aftercare can affect the result. Results and longevity are not guaranteed.

SLE is not responsible for premature fading or poor results caused by improper aftercare or client-specific factors.

Section 12

Minor Clients

Ages 16 and 17

Clients must be at least 16 years old. Clients who are 16 or 17 must attend with a parent or legal guardian. The guardian must present a valid government-issued photo ID, sign SLE’s Minor Client Consent in person, and remain onsite throughout the appointment. A consent form completed only by the minor online does not satisfy this requirement. We cannot begin or continue the service if the required guardian is not present.

The minor signs a separate acknowledgment. Different surnames are not disqualifying. A non-parent legal guardian must show documentation of current legal authority. An adult sibling, grandparent, stepparent, aunt, uncle, friend, or another accompanying adult cannot authorize service unless they are the parent or can document current legal guardianship.

Section 13

Health and Safety

Disclosures and service decisions

Notify the team before service if you have redness, swelling, bumps, styes, pain, irritation, sensitivity, open skin, or another concern in the treatment area.

For your safety, Silk Lash Empire does not perform services when active irritation or another concerning condition is present or reported in the treatment area. Please speak with the team before proceeding.

When active irritation or another concerning condition is present in the treatment area, SLE does not perform the scheduled salon service that day and does not promise lash removal as an alternative.

Silk Lash Empire does not diagnose or treat medical conditions. Persistent or worsening symptoms should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare or eye-care professional.

Patch and tolerance testing

A patch or tolerance test may be required for certain services based on the product manufacturer’s instructions or SLE safety protocol.

Patch or tolerance testing is intended to help identify possible sensitivity, but a negative test does not guarantee that a future reaction will not occur.

When testing is required for a product or service, the service cannot be performed until that requirement has been completed.

Section 14

Photo and Video Permission

Separate, optional permission

Optional consent

SLE may ask to take before, during, or after photos or videos for marketing, social media, website content, training, or promotional material. Media may be used only after the client gives permission.

Permission is separate and optional. A client may decline, and declining does not affect eligibility for service. When permission is given, authorized team members or a social-media manager may enter the service area to capture approved media.

Section 15

Client Responsibilities

Review before service

Clients are responsible for reviewing the policies applicable to their service. By booking, submitting a deposit, completing consent, or checking in, the client acknowledges access to the current policies and disclaimers.

Section 16
