Deposit

20% deposit is required to secure your date. You have 24 hours to pay your deposit. After this time, if deposit has not been paid, the booking becomes available to the public.

Your deposit covers admin costs and secures your date from being booked by anyone else. For this reason, your deposit is non-refundable.

Booking information

All bookings must be accurate. Please do not provide false information such as a different address, incorrect number of clients, incorrect occasion ie: you are getting married but chosen "going out makeup". Should such instances occur, your makeup will not be bridal nor will you receive any bridal treatments in your appointment. Makeup bookings are priced accordingly to the service you receive.

Bookings confirmed via email are a binding contract, we require all bookings to be confirmed in writing.

Bookings made over the phone need to respond in writing to confirm all details are correct.

Your artist usually wears black uniform, if you have a colour preference or dress code, please inform us at the earliest opportunity.

Please ensure that parking and access is as close to the location as possible. We carry a lot of equipment which can get heavy. If your venue has stairs and no lift, please let us know so we can plan in advance.

Inspiration photos/ ideas

Please be clear on what you would like your service to be. Do you know which colours/ shades suit you best? Do you want hair up or down? Red lip or nude lip? Glam or natural? Etc. All these factors help your artist plan your look for the day.

When browsing inspiration photos, please refer to pictures similar to your skin type, hair colour & length.

Please be realistic with expectations, makeup and skin prep can help the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, however it cannot remove them. Please find photos that aren't heavily filtered and airbrushed when looking for inspiration.

Weddings

We will only ever commit to ONE wedding per day. This is because weddings are so important and schedules are tight. Our team are on hand to help bridal clients every step of the way, right up until you are ready to say "I do".

Please provide all information required and be as accurate as possible so we can supply you with the best possible experience.

Timings: Bridal makeup 60 mins, wedding party makeup 30 mins per person, hair styling 20-60 mins per person.

Trials

Trials are booked separately and are salon based only unless in a group of 3 or more. Trials are £50 per person and cover both hair and makeup.

When booking a trial, please keep in mind that it is purely to fine tune your desired look on the day. During the trial you artist will discuss products, colour match and take notes of all products used.

Please be honest at your trial, our artists will not be offended and will appreciate knowing of any concerns. The purpose of a trial is to try out styles and get an idea of how you want to look on the big day.

When choosing your artist/stylist, please take a look through portfolios. This will help you decide if the style and skill set is right for you.

Early start/ timings

Your artist will require full information regarding your appointment including what time you need to leave. Please be aware that your artist will establish the adequate amount of time to suit you and your party size. Certain factors such as travelling distance, party size and leaving times may contribute to an early start. An early start is considered an arrival before 8am or a travelling distance where the artist must set off before 7am, in this case an additional fee may be applied.

If an early start is not possible, an additional stylist may be required. We have a team subject to availability which will be factored into your quote prior to booking. If we cannot supply an additional stylist from our team, you will need to source a second company to attend.
