Boulevard's Standard Cancellation Policy
Boulevard has a standard, built-in Cancellation Policy that states that a business can charge up to 100% of the full appointment value if the appointment is canceled less than 24 hours in advance. These terms and links appear in the client-facing self-booking overlay.
