Policies

Booking policies

Payment, cancellation, overtime, capacity, and house rules.

Last updated: July 18, 2026

Cancellation

  • Cancel 7 days or more before your start time: 100% refund.
  • Cancel between 7 days and 24 hours before: 50% refund.
  • Cancel less than 24 hours before: no refund.
  • Grace window: cancel free within 24 hours of confirming, as long as your booking is at least 48 hours away.

Payment

Every booking is prepaid in full. With the current request-to-book flow, we confirm availability first and then send a secure payment link — your reservation is confirmed once payment completes.

Rescheduling

One free reschedule with at least 48 hours' notice, to a new date within the next 60 days. With less notice, the cancellation ladder applies.

Overtime

Overtime is billed at 2× the hourly rate in 30-minute blocks, subject to availability. If another booking follows yours, overtime is not possible — we tell you at the start.

Cleaning

No fixed cleaning fee. A $100 fee applies only if the space is left out of condition — trash not collected, stains, or sets left standing.

No-show

A no-show is treated as a cancellation under 24 hours: no refund. We mark a no-show 30 minutes after your start time without arrival or notice.

Capacity

Up to 8 people are included in the base rate. People 9 to 15 add $10 per person, per booking. The studio maximum is 15 people.

Insurance / COI

No insurance is required for standard bookings of up to 10 people. For more than 10 people, events, or heavy external equipment, a certificate of insurance (COI) with $1M liability is required before confirmation.

Security hold

No security deposit for standard bookings. Events, groups over 10 people, or heavy external equipment require a $250 hold — a temporary retention, not a charge — released within 48 hours after the booking if there are no incidents.

Taxes

Published prices do not include taxes. NY sales tax is added at payment when it applies.

House rules — not allowed

  • Parties or events with alcohol without written approval, a security hold and a COI.
  • Smoke or pyrotechnics of any kind.
  • Glitter or confetti without a cleaning fee agreed in advance.
  • Noise outside extended hours.
FAQ

Frequent questions

The real questions people ask before booking the studio.

Are there hidden fees?

No. The published rate includes everything listed on each card, and every add-on and surcharge has a published unit price. Booking directly also means no marketplace fee on top.

How does booking work?

You send a booking request with your date, time and details. We confirm availability and send a secure payment link within 1 business day. Your reservation is confirmed once payment completes.

What happens if I go over my time?

Overtime is billed at 2× the hourly rate in 30-minute blocks, subject to availability. If another booking follows yours, overtime is not possible — we tell you at the start of your session.

How many people can I bring?

Up to 8 people are included. People 9 to 15 add $10 per person, per booking, and 15 is the maximum. Groups over 10 also require a COI and a security hold.

Can I cancel or reschedule?

Yes. 100% refund with 7+ days' notice, 50% between 7 days and 24 hours, no refund under 24 hours. You also get one free reschedule with at least 48 hours' notice.

Do I need insurance?

Not for standard bookings of up to 10 people. Larger groups, events, or heavy external equipment require a certificate of insurance (COI) with $1M liability.
