To ensure the safety of both you and our staff, we have implemented new policies and procedures. We ask that you please follow these guidelines when visiting our clinic.

We ask you to

• Please properly wash your hands with soap upon entry to our studio. Proper handwashing requires a minimum of 20 seconds, not including rinsing. A mask is optional but highly encouraged.
• Please arrive on time. If you arrive earlier, please contact us at (778) 987-5480 to see if we are able to see you earlier. If we are not able to, please wait outside the building.
• Please reschedule your appointment as soon as possible if you have experienced any symptoms of a communicable disease in the 3 days prior to your appointment, such as COVID-19 or the flu. This includes but is not limited to, these specific diseases.
• Please fill out the e-consent form on your device prior to your appointment and save it.
• Please consider rescheduling your appointments if you plan to receive any vaccines within 1 week of receiving our services or 2 weeks before your appointment. For treatments involving the opening of the skin, such as tattoo removal, permanent makeup, or needling, we recommend waiting at least 2-4 weeks after receiving a vaccine. Note that our staff is fully vaccinated.

An appointment is only considered confirmed once we have received the specified booking fee listed on the booking page. Until payment is received, your appointment time is pending and may be given to another person without prior notice. The booking fee will be applied to the cost of your booked service if you arrive for your appointment as scheduled. Packages already include the booking fee, so there is no need to pay it again if you have purchased a package.

A consultation is required before booking most services, except for lash lift, brow lamination, and body sugaring. Consultations for eyebrow PMU and tattoo removal can be arranged over the phone or online for free. Face-to-face consultations are mandatory for skincare, scar treatments, and hair loss services. If you attend a face-to-face consultation for skincare and do not require a patch test or allergy test, you will receive a partial credit. You can add a skincare consultation at a nominal fee to an initial service. If you need an allergy test, a face-to-face consultation is required prior to any treatment, and you will need to see a doctor after the consultation. If you do not book a face-to-face consultation before the procedure, you are choosing to forego an allergy test.

If you have previously received cosmetic tattoos or microblading, it is mandatory to send us clear pictures before booking a brow session for assessment. The pictures must include a close-up and full face.

• If you request to change your schedule at least 7 days before your scheduled appointment with Vita Felice, your request will be honored without any penalty.
• If you request to cancel your schedule at least 7 days before your scheduled appointment with Vita Felice, your request will be honored. You have options to receive a full credit (default) or a refund of your payment. This credit is valid indefinitely for any services but cannot be combined with any vouchers and promotions, however, a refund is subject to a flat administrative fee of $5.
• If you cancel or reschedule within 7 days of your appointment, no booking fee refund will be issued, and only one rescheduling is allowed.
• If you request to cancel or change your schedule within 7 days of your appointment but at least 72 hours before your appointment time, your booking fee will be credited towards future appointments within one month from the original appointment. If you request to cancel or change your schedule within 72 hours of your appointment but at least 24 hours before your appointment time, your booking fee will be credited towards future appointments but only within 7 days from the original appointment. This policy of credit is only applicable once. The credits may not be used towards promotional or package deals or products. If your cancellation or rescheduling request pertains to a touch-up appointment, a package deal, or credits, you will forfeit that appointment or be required to book a new appointment and pay the booking fee again.
• If you request to cancel or change your schedule within 24 hours of your appointment time, you will forfeit your booking fee unless we can reschedule you for an earlier time than your appointment, or you find a replacement for your booked time. The replacement appointment doesn’t need to be the same appointment as yours but must be a new appointment, not a rescheduling of an existing appointment. In this case, you will receive a booking fee credit (equal to your replacement appointment service fees, not including gratuity, up to your full booking fee), which can be used for any services in the next 60 days..
• If you need to change your services on-site and this results in a reduction of over 15 minutes in appointment time, you will forfeit the booking fee but the total will not exceed the originally booked service fee.
• Unless otherwise noted, those credits are not transferable, not valid for products, not redeemable for cash or refund, and are not to be combined with other vouchers or promos.

If you are more than 15 minutes late, you may have to reschedule your appointment or change your appointment. If it has to be rescheduled, you will forfeit your booking fee and require a full service charge as a new booking fee. If you cancel within 1 hour of the appointment, it will be considered a no-show. In case of a no-show, you will forfeit your booking fee and the balance of the service fee will be charged to your card on file as a no-show charge, and may be banned from making future appointments.

Only one accompanying guest is permitted during the appointment although we highly recommend you come alone. However, if we find their behavior destructive or inappropriate, they are required to leave immediately. Your treatment may be terminated as well. Even when the service is terminated in the middle of the procedure, you are responsible for a full-service charge before you leave.

Our studio has no food/no drink policy with the exception of water. Please come hydrated and/or bring your own water.

Our studio has a scent-free policy. Please refrain from wearing perfume. It is highly recommended you take a shower before you come.

If a client behaves in a sexualizing, abusive, or otherwise inappropriate manner, we will immediately terminate treatment, even if it is during the procedure, and the service charge will apply in full. This includes being rude, mean, or unreasonably unkind. We do not tolerate any behavior that involves actions, gestures, or words that are unwanted by the recipient or could reasonably be perceived as causing another person distress or discomfort. This unacceptable behavior can be subtle or overt and can take the form of a phone call, email, writing, or in person.

Additionally, any act of ejaculation on our premises, whether intentional or accidental, will result in the immediate termination of the service. In such cases, the full charge for the service will be applied, regardless of whether or not the service is complete. The individual will be banned from making any future appointments with us.

It is the client’s responsibility to read all policies, and pre-care and aftercare instructions. If there are any concerns or questions, the client must consult with us before the service appointment. Otherwise, the client may forfeit the booking fee if we cannot accept them for the service.

• Cannot accept clients under the age of 19 for permanent makeup brows, SMP and tattoo removal services.
• For other services, we can accept clients age 16 and over with parental consent.

A client can receive a credit by referring our services to a new client! The referred client must be a new client and must take a service at full list price. The credit amount is 10% of the total service your referred client takes at the first appointment. The gift certificate cannot be used in lieu of the booking fee and cannot be used toward products. It is valid for 2 months from the date the referred client takes the service. It cannot be exchanged for cash or combined with any other promotion. There will also be no change given.
