STAFF

Please seek prior advice from your doctor or healthcare professional. Patients being treated for chronic medical conditions or cancer should provide a written clearance from their doctor.

PREGNANCY AND BREASTFEEDING

Due to increased sensitivity and various hormonal changes during pregnancy, there are some treatment contraindications and special precautions for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers. We recommend that you check with your doctor on your individual needs prior to booking any treatment. 

An additional consent form must be signed to proceed for all pregnant and breastfeeding guests. Due to manufacturers instruction all other treatments including facials, peels, laser and clinic treatments are contraindicated during pregnancy. If you have any concerns regarding sensitivity, please consult your doctor prior to booking.

Prior to any treatment, please use our consultation forms to disclose to Raw Canvas Skin Bar your medical history, including any medical conditions, pre-existing injuries, infectious diseases, skin conditions, allergies, and pregnancy. If your health conditions have changed since first completing the forms, please advise us as soon as possible and prior to your next treatment to allow us to make the necessary adjustments. If at any time during your services you experience discomfort, please alert your therapist immediately.

Gift Cards purchased for a dollar amount can be used towards the products or services of your choice at any time. Gift Card numbers should be quoted at the time of booking your appointment and presented on arrival.
