HOW TO REQUEST STUDIO TIMES?

Step one: Review and sign our Studio User Agreement, and submit a single $35 annual payment for LEIMAY membership.
** Please note that this payment is required for each calendar year. If you have already completed this for the 2025 calendar year, you may skip this step.

Step two: Sign up for a profile in LEIMAY’s online network conectom. (This will be used to validate your eligibility). ** Please be sure to include a profile picture, as profiles without one will not be approved.

Step three: Submit our community demographics survey.

Step four: Check studio availability  and book your time using our online booking system here.

**You only need to complete steps 1-3 once in a calendar year, but please be aware without completing these steps your bookings will not be valid.

That’s all! Simple and Quick!
