Terms of Service

Terms of Service & Policy

(Revised as of February 8, 2026)

1. Late Cancellation Policy

1.1 New and Returning Clients

You may change or cancel your appointment up to 24 hours in advance at no charge.
Changes or cancellations made less than 24 hours before the appointment, or if you arrive but choose not to proceed with the treatment, will incur a 50% cancellation fee of the booked treatment fee.

We kindly ask for your understanding, as last-minute cancellations or changes can impact other clients and disrupt our schedule.

1.2 Rescheduling & Cancellation Policy

Clients may reschedule or cancel their appointment as they wish, provided that each reschedule or cancellation complies with our Late Cancellation Policy. However, frequent or excessive rescheduling or cancellations may lead to restrictions, and we reserve the right to:

Cancel the appointment permanently without further rescheduling.
Require full prepayment for any future bookings.
Reschedules or cancellations made after the required notice period stated in our Late Cancellation Policy (e.g., less than 24 hours before the appointment) may still be restricted, even if they are infrequent.
Exceptions may be granted at our sole discretion.

1.3 Provider-Initiated Cancellations

In the event that Pinsia must cancel an appointment due to unforeseen circumstances such as staff illness or emergencies, clients will not be charged any cancellation fees. Affected clients may reschedule at their convenience through our website.

1.4 Identity Verification and Booking Validity

Photo ID is required for all first-time clients at their initial visit. For returning clients, we may request ID again when necessary to confirm identity.

If ID is requested and cannot be provided, or if you decide not to proceed after arriving, the appointment will be considered a late cancellation and the full fee for the booked time will apply. The fee remains the same even if you leave early or choose not to receive treatment.

2. Late Arrival Policy

2.1 General Policy
To ensure you receive your full treatment time, please arrive on time for your scheduled appointment.

2.2 Late Arrival Guidelines

Arriving late will only reduce your treatment time, not your total appointment duration. The full appointment fee will still apply, and lost time cannot be recovered or added back to the treatment.
If you arrive late, your total session time does not change, but your treatment time will be shortened accordingly. All sessions must conclude at their scheduled time to accommodate the next client.
Example: If you book an appointment at 3:00 PM for a 60-minute treatment session, If you arrive at 3:20 PM (20 minutes late), those 20 minutes will be deducted from your treatment time. As a result, your treatment will be shortened to 40 minutes instead of 60 minutes. The session will still end at the originally scheduled time.
If the client has not arrived more than 10 minutes after the scheduled appointment time, the salon may, at its discretion, cancel the reservation and charge a cancellation fee of 50% of the booked treatment fee.
However, if 10 minutes have passed with neither arrival nor any contact from the client, the case will be treated as a No-Show, and a cancellation fee of 100% of the booked treatment fee may be charged.

2.3 Catch-up Treatment Time
At our discretion, and if staff availability permits, we may offer additional treatment time at no extra charge. This is not guaranteed, as we prioritize maintaining our schedule for all clients.

2.4 Treatments for Clients Under 18
Clients under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a guardian throughout the appointment. If the guardian is delayed or absent, the treatment will not proceed.

3. No-Show Policy

If you fail to notify us and do not attend your appointment, a 100% cancellation fee of the booked treatment fee will apply.
After two no-shows, we reserve the right to refuse future appointments or require full prepayment for all subsequent bookings.

4. Early Departure Policy

If you decide to leave before the end of your scheduled appointment, whether due to discomfort, a change in plans, or any other reason, the full fee for the originally booked duration will still apply.

Since your appointment is reserved for a specific time and service, we are unable to shorten the duration once booked. To avoid unnecessary charges, please ensure your booking reflects your available time and needs.

This policy applies regardless of whether the early departure occurs after a late arrival.

5. Payment of Fees

By booking an appointment with Pinsia, you agree to the following payment terms:

Late cancellations: 50% cancellation fee.
No-shows: 100% cancellation fee.
Late arrivals: Full booking fees apply, even if the treatment time is reduced.
Prepaid packages: Late cancellations or changes result in the forfeiture of one session from the package.
For prepaid packages, “one session” shall be defined as the duration originally reserved for that appointment, not a standard 60-minute unit.

6. Refund Policy

Pinsia does not provide refunds for changes of mind.

6.1 Exceptional Circumstances
Refunds may be considered under the following conditions:

Treatments cannot be provided due to unforeseen circumstances.
Exceptional events that prevent service delivery.

Refund requests must be submitted in writing via postal mail or email and will be processed in compliance with Japan’s Specified Commercial Transactions Law.

6.2 Refusal of Service and Refunds Due to Inappropriate Behavior
In cases where a client engages in inappropriate or disruptive behavior, Pinsia reserves the right to refuse or terminate service. Refunds will not be provided under such circumstances, regardless of remaining prepaid sessions or packages.

This includes cases where service is terminated early by Pinsia for safety or misconduct reasons.

7. Appointment Reminder System

Pinsia plans to implement an automated appointment reminder system in the future. Failure to receive a reminder due to system issues does not exempt clients from cancellation fees or no-show policies.

Appointment reminders are provided as a courtesy only. Clients remain responsible for their appointments regardless of reminder delivery.

8. Prepaid Package Terms and Conditions

All packages must be prepaid.
Validity Period:

Pinsia shall not be liable for adverse effects resulting from incomplete, inaccurate, or undisclosed information provided by the client.

12.2 Right to Refuse Treatment:

13. Photography and Social Media Consent

13.1 Promotional and Educational Use
With the client’s consent, photographs taken during or after treatment may be used for promotional or educational purposes, such as social media posts. If you do not wish to have your photos taken or used for these purposes, please inform our staff before the treatment.

13.2 Treatment Record and Identity Verification
For safety management and accurate treatment records, Pinsia may take photographs of the treatment area and, when necessary, a light identification photo at the first visit. These photos are used solely for the following purposes:

to confirm the client’s identity in relation to the treatment record
to document the skin condition before and after treatment
to ensure appropriate treatment planning and safety
to prevent misunderstandings or disputes

These photographs will be stored securely within Pinsia’s internal system and will not be disclosed to third parties or used on social media without separate, explicit consent.

If you do not wish to have record photos taken, please inform our staff in advance. In such cases, Pinsia may limit or decline treatment based on risk assessment.

14. Damages to Property

Clients are responsible for any damage to Pinsia’s property caused by their actions during their visit. Pinsia reserves the right to charge for repairs or replacements resulting from negligence.

15. Force Majeure

Government regulations (lockdowns, curfews, etc.).
Power outages or utility failures.
Strikes or labor disputes.

16. Salon Etiquette

For the comfort, safety, and privacy of all clients, we kindly ask that you follow our Salon Etiquette. By booking an appointment, you agree to adhere to these guidelines during your visit.

17. Hair Removal Results and Treatment Limitations

Electrolysis is a treatment intended to target the hair follicle and reduce hair regrowth.

However, Pinsia does not guarantee complete or permanent hair removal for all hair. Pinsia also does not guarantee any specific number of treatment sessions, treatment duration, or treatment results.

Hair grows in natural cycles, including growth, regression, and resting phases. Electrolysis is primarily effective on hair follicles in the active growth phase. As a result, multiple treatment sessions over time are required, and untreated hair or hair that grows later may become noticeable again.

17.1 Treatment results vary from person to person and may be influenced by factors including, but not limited to:

Hair growth cycle, hair density, and hair characteristics
Hormonal balance and individual physiology
Medical history and current medications
Treatment intervals and consistency
Compliance with pre- and post-treatment instructions and aftercare

Some individuals may experience long-term or permanent hair reduction. Others may experience partial reduction, delayed results, or limited effectiveness. Even when treatment is performed appropriately, a certain number of individuals may experience limited results.

Any treatment plans, estimated number of sessions, or treatment timelines provided by Pinsia are estimates for reference only and may change depending on individual response and hair growth cycle conditions.

Pinsia makes no express or implied guarantees regarding treatment results, permanence, or complete hair removal.

17.2 By receiving electrolysis treatment, the client is deemed to have fully understood and agreed to the following:

Treatment results are not guaranteed
Multiple treatment sessions are required
Failure to achieve expected results does not indicate improper treatment or negligence
Fees are charged for treatment time and professional services provided, not for guaranteed results
