Terms

The terms of using this site and booking with us.

What this website is, what it is not, and the practical rules around appointments, cancellations, pricing and gift cards. Written to be read, not to be skipped.

The short version Everything on this website is general information, not medical advice. Nothing here replaces a consultation. Whether a treatment is right for you is decided in person, by Laura or Michelle, after we have looked at your skin. Please give us 48 hours notice if you need to change an appointment.

1. Who these terms are with

This website is operated by Laura Patterson / Laura Sue Esthetics, at 2310 U.S. Highway 2 E, Suite 1, Kalispell, MT 59901. Where these terms say "we", "us" or "Mökki", they mean Laura Patterson / Laura Sue Esthetics.

By using this website, chatting with our assistant, or booking a treatment with us, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the site, and call us instead on (406) 500-7210 so we can talk it through.

2. What this website is

This site exists to tell you who we are, what we offer, and how to reach us, and to let you start a booking. The treatment descriptions, blog articles and FAQ answers are written to be genuinely useful, but they are general information about treatments in the abstract. They are not a plan for your skin.

We try hard to keep the site accurate and current. Prices, services, hours and availability can change, and occasionally something on the site will be out of date before we catch it. If something matters to your decision, please confirm it with us directly before you rely on it.

3. This is not medical advice

Nothing on this website, and nothing said by our chat assistant, is medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. It does not create a patient relationship and it is not a substitute for a consultation with a qualified professional.

Do not delay seeking medical advice, and do not stop or change any medication, because of something you read here. If you are having a medical emergency, call 911. Our website, our chat assistant and our text line are not monitored for emergencies.

4. Treatments require a consultation

Every treatment we offer begins with an assessment. Whether a treatment is appropriate for you, at what intensity, and on what timeline, is decided in person by our team after looking at your skin and going through your history with you.

  • Laura Patterson, Aesthetician and Laser Technician, provides aesthetic and laser treatments.
  • Michelle Phillips, FNP, serves as Mökki’s Medical Director.

We may decline or postpone a treatment if we do not believe it is safe or suitable for you, and we may recommend something different from what you came in asking for. That is the point of the consultation, and it is not negotiable.

You are responsible for giving us accurate and complete information about your health, medications, allergies, pregnancy or breastfeeding status, and any previous treatments, before we begin. We can only keep you safe based on what you tell us.

Results vary. Skin is individual. Nothing on this website, in a consultation, or in any before-and-after photograph is a promise of a particular outcome for you, and no result is guaranteed.

5. Booking an appointment

Choose your treatment through online booking, call (406) 500-7210, or ask Bella for help. An appointment is confirmed when you receive a confirmation from us. If you do not get one, assume you are not booked, and please contact us.

Most appointment locations follow the day you choose: Monday and Tuesday are in Kalispell, and Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are in Columbia Falls. Friday laser appointments from 5:00 to 7:00 PM are the exception and take place in Kalispell. We are closed Saturday and Sunday.

Please arrive on time. If you arrive late we will do what we can, but we may have to shorten your treatment so the next client is not kept waiting, or reschedule you.

6. Cancellations, reschedules and no-shows

Our time is booked out for you specifically, so late changes cost us an appointment we could have given to someone else. Please give us as much notice as you can.

  • We ask for 48 hours notice to cancel or change an appointment.
  • Cancellations made within 24 hours of the appointment are charged a $50 fee.
  • Same-day cancellations and no-shows are charged 50% of the scheduled service total.
  • You may reschedule once. A second reschedule of the same appointment is treated as a cancellation and the policy above applies.

Life happens, and we would always rather you told us than simply did not arrive. If something genuinely unavoidable comes up, call us and talk to us about it.

7. Pricing and payment

Prices shown on this website are current at the time of publication and may change. New-client introductory prices are for a first visit and are not combinable with other offers unless we say so.

Some treatments are quoted rather than listed because the price depends on your plan. You will always be told the price before treatment begins, and you are free to say no.

Payment is due at the time of service unless we have agreed otherwise in writing. Payments are processed through our booking and payment provider.

8. Gift cards

Gift cards are sold and redeemed through our booking system, which tracks the balance. A gift card can be used toward services and, once the online shop opens, retail products.

  • Gift cards are not redeemable for cash, except where state law requires otherwise.
  • They are transferable, so please treat one like cash. We cannot replace a gift card that has been lost or shared with someone else who redeems it.
  • A gift card does not reserve an appointment. The cancellation policy in section 6 applies to appointments booked against a gift card in the same way it applies to any other appointment.

If you are unsure of a balance, call us and we will look it up.

9. Bella, our chat assistant

The chat assistant on this website is called Bella. Bella is automated software, provided by Hello Bella, the platform we use to run our front desk. Bella is not a person and is not a clinician.

  • Bella can answer questions about our services, hours and locations, and can book, move or cancel an appointment for you.
  • Bella's answers are not medical advice, and Bella cannot tell you whether a treatment is safe or right for you. Only a consultation can do that.
  • Automated assistants can make mistakes or misunderstand. If an answer matters to your decision, confirm it with us directly on (406) 500-7210.
  • Do not use the chat for anything urgent or for a medical emergency. Call 911.

To book, Bella will ask for your name and mobile number. How we handle that is set out in our Privacy Policy. You can always ask to speak to a person instead.

10. Text messages

Laura Sue Esthetics SMS program. Providing a mobile number while booking authorizes operational texts related to that appointment, including confirmations, reminders, rescheduling and cancellation updates, treatment consent links, and replies to your questions. Tell us if you do not want appointment texts. Promotional messages require a separate recorded or signed electronic agreement and may include client-only offers, treatment promotions, and seasonal savings. Promotional permission is not a condition of booking, treatment, or purchase.

Message frequency and charges. Message frequency varies based on your appointments, activity and selected message categories. Message and data rates may apply to messages sent to you and messages you send to us. Contact your wireless provider with questions about your text or data plan.

Opt out. You can cancel the SMS service at any time by texting STOP to (406) 412-4495 or replying STOP to a message from us. We will send a confirmation that you have been unsubscribed. After that confirmation, you will no longer receive messages from the SMS program unless you opt in again.

Opt in again. To ask to rejoin after opting out, contact us at the phone number or email below. We will confirm what is needed before messages resume.

Support. Reply HELP for assistance, call Laura Sue Esthetics at (406) 412-4495, or email mokkiaesthetics@gmail.com.

Privacy. For information about how we handle your information, read our Privacy Policy.

11. Using this website properly

Please use this site for what it is for. Do not try to break into it, scrape it at a scale that degrades it for other people, send us malicious code, impersonate someone else, or use our chat assistant to abuse our team. We may block access if you do.

12. Liability, in plain terms

Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

This website is provided as it is. We do our best to keep it accurate and available, but we cannot promise it will always be up to date, uninterrupted, or error free.

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss that results from relying on general information on this website, from the website being unavailable, or from an automated answer given by our chat assistant. That is precisely why we ask you to confirm anything that matters with a person, and why every treatment needs a consultation.

This section is about the website and its content. It is not an attempt to limit our responsibility for the care we actually provide to you in the treatment room, or to limit anything the law does not allow us to limit.

13. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the practice changes. The current version is always the one on this page, and the "last updated" date at the top tells you when it changed. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.

14. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Montana, without regard to its conflict of law rules. Any dispute arising out of these terms or your use of this website will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Flathead County, Montana, and you and we agree to that venue.
