    FAQ

    What's a fair no-show fee?

    Most salons charge 50% of the booked service. For long color or extension appointments, 100% is common — communicate it upfront.

    How do I enforce it?

    Beautifyx can require a card on file for any service over $X and auto-charge no-show fees per your policy.
