Smooth Essentials LLC Policies & Guidelines
Laser Focused, Confidence Revealed
The following policies are in place to protect both our clients and our business while ensuring the highest level of service.
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES POLICY
We are committed to providing safe, professional, and appropriate laser hair removal services.
Client acceptance and continuation of services are evaluated on a case-by-case basis based on legitimate professional, safety, operational, and business considerations. These considerations may include, but are not limited to, treatment history and continuity-of-care concerns, the availability or reliability of prior treatment information, the ability to safely and effectively provide services, professional boundary concerns, prior conduct or service-related disputes, documentation or scheduling concerns, conflicts of interest, and circumstances that may create increased professional, operational, or liability concerns.
Smooth Essentials LLC may decline to initiate or continue services when, following an individualized assessment, it is determined that the professional or business relationship is not appropriate for the practice.
All client acceptance decisions are made individually and based solely on legitimate professional and business considerations applied uniformly to all prospective and existing clients.
PRICING & CONSULTATION POLICY
Every treatment plan is customized to the individual. While price ranges are listed for each service, these reflect starting (minimum) and maximum pricing guidelines only. The final cost of treatment is determined during your consultation and is based on several factors, including: The specific area(s) being treated / the extent of coverage needed. In many cases, clients may not require treatment of an entire area, and pricing will be adjusted accordingly to reflect only what is necessary. We believe in full transparency and will always review pricing thoroughly with you prior to beginning any service, so you feel confident and informed every step of the way.
