frequently asked questions
book an appointment
We look forward to having you in the Lane! Appointments can be made online or by calling your local shop. We require a credit card to hold all appointments. Your card will only be charged upon completion of your services or in the case of a late cancellation or appointment no-show.
arriving late
Please call us if you will be arriving late to your manicure or pedicure appointment. We reserve the right to shorten or reschedule a service if a customer is more than five (5) minutes late to the scheduled appointment time, out of respect to other appointments. If a service is shortened due to time constraints, the cost of the service originally booked will still be charged.
cancellations
We kindly ask that you cancel your appointment at least 24 hours prior to your scheduled time. Appointments cancelled within 22 hours of the scheduled time will be charged 50% of the services booked plus 20% gratuity on the original cost of the service. Missed appointments without any notice of cancellation will be charged 100% of the service cost plus 20% gratuity.

If a group member arrives more than 10 minutes after the scheduled start time we cannot guarantee their scheduled services (but we always try our best to make it work!). The group coordinator is still required to pay the full cost of these services including 20% gratuity even if we are unable to provide the services.
