Clients are expected to arrive on time and respect studio equipment, staff, and space.
Guests must be approved in advance and remain the responsibility of the client.
Smoking or vaping is not permitted inside the studio.
C9-Studio reserves the right to refuse service if behaviour is disruptive, unsafe, or breaches OH&S guidelines.
