  • If you are late leaving the studio or do not leave enough time to clean up, shoot us a text letting us know of any delays. If you are running more than 10 minutes over your booked time, unfortunately, we’ll have to charge you for an additional hour and/or a cleaning fee. Because there are often back to back bookings, we ask that you remain aware of other creatives and leave enough time at the end of your reservation to clean up.
