maintaining the Shobha® Environment
for your safety, no outside visitors of any shape/size are permitted in treatment rooms (i.e. infants, pets, boy/girlfriends, etc.). if you do plan to bring a visitor with you, please make certain to have another companion to chaperone them (for children & pets) while you are in a treatment.
all Shobha® Locations are cell-phone free zones, kindly take your calls in the building's outside hallway to avoid disrupting other clients.
building sign-ins for your security
to ensure your safety, we have carefully chosen the buildings in which our salons dwell. please know, during certain parts of the day (usually in the evenings & definitely on the weekends), you may be asked to sign in with the security person in the lobby - we promise it will only take a minute & it will help maintain the security of the building for everyone!
Shobha® Sugaring/Waxing Policies
the nauseating truth is that double-dipping is common practice in wax application. this method uses the same spatula for the entire treatment, re-dipping the used applicator back into the vat of wax. this contaminated wax is then reused for treatments on other individuals. unfortunately, this technique can increase the chances of potentially harmful bacteria spreading from one client to another, which is particularly disturbing when dealing with the body's nether region (aka the bikini zone).
generally, it is best to get a bikini treatment at least one week before or after your period. in addition to the obvious hygiene safety issue for both client and specialist, the closer you get to your actual period, the more sensitive your body becomes, so be nice to your body and avoid scheduling your appointment on those ultra-sensitive days!
Shobha® Pink Glove Treatment: obviously, hygiene is a top priority here at Shobha. your specialist will wear our pink non-latex gloves during each sugaring/waxing treatment.
here at Shobha®, we do our best to respect everyone's time and to be prompt with every appointment. taking into account that new york city & its many inhabitants can sometimes delay your plans, please know that if you arrive more than 5 minutes past your appointment start time, you may be asked to wait so that we may honor our next client's appointment. we promise to do our best to take you as soon as possible, however if you cannot wait, we suggest rescheduling your Shobha® date!
here at Shobha® , your reserved appointment time is exclusively for you! please acknowledge & respect our cancellation policy, keeping in mind that "no-shows" or last minute cancellations leave our specialists with empty treatment times & other clients, who could not get in, at an inconvenience.
- when scheduling an appointment with a value of $67 or more, we require a credit card reservation.
- if you need to reschedule or cancel an appointment, we require 24 hours notice.
- appointments cancelled in less than the required time will be charged to your credit card on file for 100% of each service, unless the vacated time can be filled. clients that do not honor their appointments will be charged a cancellation fee as follows:
- more than 24 hours notice - no charge!
- less than 24 hours notice - 100% of each service if appointment time goes unfilled.
