“Beautiful skin is deeply personal — it tells your story. My role is to help you feel confident in yours, every step of the way.”

Consultations with our Aesthetic Nurse Director, Leanne Nichols, are charged at £30. This initial consultation is designed to provide you with all the necessary information and clinical guidance to make a fully informed decision about any treatment you may be considering. Once you become a patient of the clinic, all subsequent consultations with Leanne are offered at no additional cost.
Consultations with our therapists are complimentary, however, a £30 holding fee is required at the time of booking. This fee is fully redeemable against any treatment or skincare purchases made following the consultation. If you choose not to proceed with a treatment or purchase skincare, the holding fee will be refunded. Please note, if you cancel with less than 24 hours’ notice or fail to attend, the holding fee will be retained.
Due to the high demand for appointments at Face and Skin Clinic, a £50 booking fee is required to secure your appointment. This fee can be paid in clinic or over the phone, and must be received within 48 hours of booking. Please note, the booking fee is non-refundable if you cancel with less than 24 hours’ notice, or fail to attend your appointment.
Cancellations must be made by phone, email, or in person at least 48 hours before your scheduled appointment, unless there are exceptional circumstances. This policy allows us to maintain the highest standards of service and offer appointments to clients on our waiting list.
For clients who fail to attend an appointment of one hour or less, or cancel with less than 48 hours’ notice on two or more occasions, we reserve the right to request a £100 booking fee to secure any future appointments.
Please note, any booking fee paid is non-refundable if the rescheduled appointment is missed or if treatment is not pursued. However, the fee will be deducted from the final treatment cost if the appointment goes ahead as planned.
