✨No-Show, Cancellation, and Reschedule Policy
1. We understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise and, if so, we kindly request that you provide us with at least 48 hours’ notice prior to the appointment should you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. Clear communication is key. If you anticipate needing to cancel or reschedule, please notify us as soon as possible, so that we may accommodate your needs while minimising disruptions to our schedule.
 
2. If you fail to show up for your appointment without notification during the 48-hour window period, the booking fee will be forfeited, and you will be required to pay the no-show fee and a new booking fee for any future appointments.
 
3. First-time clients who fail to show up for their appointment will be blocked from booking through the online platform and would need to pay the no-show fee. To book any further appointments the client would need to contact Alternative Aesthetics directly to schedule their next appointment, at the discretion of management. They will also be required to pay upfront for any treatments before booking again.

We offer a complimentary fill within this timeframe to rectify any problems that may have occurred.
 
3. In the event that you have any concerns about the outcome of your lash extensions, it is essential to discuss them with your lash artist before leaving the studio. This enables us to address any issues promptly and find a suitable solution together.
 
4. For permanent makeup (PMU) brows, we highly encourage open communication and vocalizing any concerns you may have with your artist before the procedure begins. Once the PMU procedure is complete, you have two options if any issues arise. You can request a same-day emergency removal or trust the healing process, allowing us to correct any problem areas during subsequent appointments.

1. We have a 15-minute grace period for all appointments. If you arrive later than the allocated time without prior communication, your appointment and booking fee will be forfeited. You will be required to reschedule for a new date and time.
 
2. Timeliness is crucial to ensure that all clients receive their full appointment duration and that our schedule runs smoothly. We kindly request that you arrive on time to respect the time of both our clients and our artists.
 
3. It is essential to arrive alone for your appointment due to insurance purposes. Only the individual receiving the service is allowed to be present in the treatment area. Extra guests pose a liability risk, and their presence can disrupt the smooth operation of our studio.
 
4. We have specific safety concerns regarding children in the studio. Please refrain from bringing children to the studio as it is not baby-proof or child-friendly. The presence of children can pose potential hazards, as there are various objects that may cause harm if accidentally knocked over. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in adhering to this policy to ensure the safety of everyone involved. Failure to comply may result in the cancellation of your appointment, and you will forfeit your booking fee.
 
5. Alternative Aesthetics reserves the right to refuse service to anyone who demonstrates inappropriate behavior before or during the scheduled appointment. This includes being rude to other clients or artists working in the studio. We strive to maintain a positive and respectful environment for everyone involved, and we expect the same level of courtesy from our clients.

Absolutely love carla and finally seeing results on the removal of this pesky tattoo!

I was away on holiday from London and needed my eyelashes and eyebrows done at the last minute  and I’m so grateful I found Carla! incredibly accommodating and managed to fit me into her diary, which I really appreciated.

Not only is she a wonderful, friendly lady, but she is also extremely talented. My lashes and brows look absolutely amazing and lasted a long time! 

Strongly recommend 



A 10/10 experience! I don’t know where to start, let me start by saying I look and feel so good! Carla knows her business. I love the studio and the feel of it! I love how Carla explains everything and gives you options. That girl knows her business.

Beautiful experience at Alternative Aesthetics with Carla. Loved my Hybrid Brow Stain — great shape, perfect colour, and very natural results. Also had a lash lift with Carla, result was refined and excellent — my lashes look lifted and effortless. Highly recommend

Literally always the best experience! 🫶🏼

Carla is absolutely amazing!  My lashes look gorg!

Carla is an absolute goddess!

I came in with little to no eyebrows not knowing what to expect.

She spoke with me and asked me exactly what

Thank you Carla for your remarkable service 👌🏼💯

I’ve gone to Carla to get an old, small tattoo removed and to get LOTS of body heart freckles. I love my freckles so so much and I keep going back!! My removals have been going amazing and it’s been healing so so well! She is always so accommodating and kind. She has a very relaxing environment. I look forward to the sessions just so I can lie on her very comfy, cosy bed😂 I highly recommend her!!! She is absolutely amazing!!💖

Service was as always 10/10 and the hospitality immaculate 

Carla was absolutely lovely and so accommodating even though I was 15 minutes late due to traffic. The studio is super nice and relaxing. Couldn't recommend more! 

I went  to get my lashes lifted & tinted but ended up only doing a tint as advised by Carla to let my lashes get a bit healthier first before the next lift. Really apprechiate somebody who doesn't just want to sell stuff but has the client's best interest in mind! Will definitely be back :)

I’ve been coming to Carla for my lash lifts for years now and even when I try someone else no one can compare. She’s the best of the best! I’m always so impressed with the results and even moreso how long they last way beyond the usual time. I’ve had lash extensions done before and again - zero complaints. Carla is the GOAT!

Carla is a skilled technician who listens to their clients. I don't often get my brows down, so I had a lot of questions at first. They took everything to heart, and I got a great result I loved.

There are many things I enjoy about my appointments with Carla, she always listens to me, to what I like, she advises from her professional experience and perspective, she offers a safe and welcoming space. There have been moments when I have maybe felt down and unknowingly Carla just says the right thing to change that feeling entirely. I trust her and I am so happy to support someone as strong, inspiring and as real as her. Thank you for all that you do. 

Carla's care and attention to detail is unmatched. Whatever feedback I have she implements without hesitation. She's excellent at what she does and couldn't recommend any more. She's fully booked for a reason! Booking her for the rest of my life. 

Started doing my brows with Carla in 2022, then had to move up to Joburg, and in 3 years I won't let anyone else touch my face! So glad she is hoping to branch out and come up every now and then, I get to have the best brows done by the best again!

It is such a relaxing and professional environment and love my lashes. 

Chilled, friendly,  professional and accommodating. They made allowance for all my sensitivities and I left feeling like a whole new person. You're one in a million Carla

Been with Carla for a few years now & won't let anyone else do my brows, if it's a tint or microblading I will always get compliments on  them. 

Excellent superb I always love getting my lashes done with Carla!!!

Carla NEVER misses. Exceptional service and the most wonderful human being. I am always obsessed with my lashes and brows after every visit. 

Carla is truly exceptional at what she does! I recently had my brows done and, as someone who is nervous around needles, I was quite anxious. Carla put me at ease by thoroughly explaining each step of the process and ensuring I was comfortable throughout. Her gentle approach and professionalism made the experience much more pleasant than I had anticipated. I highly recommend Carla and her services to anyone looking for top-notch care and expertise.

Carla is amazing, not only is she super talented, but highly professional and makes you feel instantly at ease. She also shares honest feedback and gives great advice
