Will my card be charged if I book an appointment online?

A valid credit card on file is required to confirm your appointment with us. However, the full payment will only be processed after your treatment is complete.

What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule my appointment?

We understand that life happens, however we do have a strict cancellation policy. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please notify us at least 48 hours in advance to avoid cancellation fees. You can login to see your appointments and reschedule online at shaespa.janeapp.com, or contact us directly and we’ll help you find a new time that works for you.

What is your cancellation policy?

Your appointment time is reserved just for you. A late cancellation or missed visit leaves a hole in the practitioner’s day that could have been filled by another client. As such, we require 48 hours notice for any cancellations or changes to your appointment. Clients who provide less than 48 hours notice, will be charged a $50 cancellation fee to the card on file. Clients who provide less than 2 hours notice or who are a no-show, will be charged in full for the appointment booked to the card on file.

Do you offer direct billing?

How should I prepare for my appointment?

Please arrive a few minutes early to settle in. Wear comfortable clothing, and for facials, it’s best to arrive with little to no makeup if possible. See our Pre & Post Treatment Care page for more details of your specific treatment.

How often should I book a massage or facial?

The frequency of treatments will be different for everyone and depends on your individual needs and goals.

Facials: For general maintenance, we recommend getting a facial once a month to match your skin’s natural renewal cycle. If you’re addressing specific concerns like acne, dryness, or aging, we may suggest more frequent treatments initially.

Massage: For relaxation and stress relief, a massage every 4-6 weeks is ideal. If you have chronic pain, tension, or specific therapeutic goals, more frequent sessions (e.g., weekly or biweekly) might be recommended.

We will create a personalized schedule to meet your needs during your appointment!

How can I prolong the benefits of my treatment after you leave?

To maintain the benefits of your spa treatment, it’s important to follow some simple aftercare steps. See more details on our Pre & Post Treatment Care page.

MASSAGE AFTERCARE

Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water helps flush out toxins released during your massage and keeps your body feeling refreshed.

Rest: Allow your body to relax and recover to maximize the therapeutic effects.

Stretch gently: Light stretches can help maintain flexibility and reduce muscle tension.

Avoid strenuous activities: Give your body time to fully absorb the benefits of the massage by avoiding intense exercise for 24 hours.

FACIAL AFTERCARE

Keep your skin clean: Avoid touching your face immediately after a facial to prevent irritation or clogged pores.

Skip makeup for 24 hours: Let your skin breathe and fully absorb the nourishing products applied during your facial.

Use gentle skincare products: Follow any specific product recommendations provided by your esthetician to maintain your glow.

Avoid sun exposure: Protect your skin with sunscreen and limit time in direct sunlight to prevent sensitivity or damage.

In general, incorporating regular self-care, maintaining a consistent skincare routine, and scheduling follow-up treatments every 4-6 weeks can help extend the benefits of your session.
