FAQs
How much time can I reserve?
You can reserve time in intervals of one hour and we will agree the hourly rate up front. The hourly rate is subject to the seniority of the team member. We require 1 – 2 weeks to schedule the time accordingly and you may be asked to pay up front if we haven’t worked with you previously.
What if I can't make our scheduled time?
Please give us at least 7 days notice of a cancellation or a need to rearrange. Anything less than this and the time will be charged in full.
