Modifications may include the addition or removal of Products and Services, pricing adjustments, and changes to loyalty programmes.
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with New Zealand law, and you submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of New Zealand Courts. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms, or any extension of time we may grant, shall not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce such provisions subsequently.

Local Operation
We operate our website from New Zealand. The information contained herein may not be suitable or available for use in other jurisdictions. Should you choose to access our website from outside New Zealand, you do so entirely at your own risk.
07
Complimentary Initial Consultations
We provide complimentary 15-minute consultations for laser hair removal and other treatments. During this consultation, our experienced skin therapists will evaluate your skin and hair characteristics, review your medical background, confirm your suitability for treatment, and address any questions you may have. We will then arrange your treatment sessions to suit your schedule whilst ensuring optimal results.
08
Pre-Treatment Patch Testing
A patch test involves treating a small area of each body region you wish to have treated, enabling us to determine the optimal laser settings for your skin type. This also assesses your skin's response to the laser and identifies any potential adverse reactions. The patch test is provided at no charge. Please ensure you have not applied self-tanning products, fragranced items, or aerosols to the treatment area prior to your patch test.
09
Lifetime Pricing Guarantee
At GROOM, we support our services and believe every client deserves optimal results. We offer a Lifetime Pricing Guarantee on laser hair removal packages. Once you commence your full treatment programme (8 treatments) with us, your pricing is secured for life, regardless of any future price increases. Conditions apply — please enquire for complete details.
10
Treatment Outcome Expectations
Typically, eight to ten laser hair removal sessions are necessary to achieve optimal results. Individual outcomes may vary based on factors including skin type, hair characteristics, hormonal factors, and treatment location. We will discuss realistic expectations during your complimentary consultation.
11
Adverse Reactions

Medical Considerations
Laser treatments are clinical-grade procedures. During your consultation, we will conduct a comprehensive review of your medical history to confirm your suitability for treatment. You must disclose all relevant medical conditions, medications, and any health status changes. Certain medical conditions, medications, and skin conditions may render you unsuitable for laser treatments or necessitate special precautions.
