MAKEUP ARTISTRY POLICIES
RETAINER POLICY - WEDDINGS:
To secure a date, a signed contract is required with a 50% retainer due at the time of signing. The retainer is non-refundable and non-transferable. Please be advised, dates and scheduled makeup times will only be reserved when a signed contract and retainer are received. Your retainer will be non-refundable for reasons including but not limited to; cancellation of wedding, date change, change in services, weather, sickness, etc.
APPOINTMENT POLICY:
Due to our busy schedules and working by appointment only we require partial payment up front. To secure an appointment, you must pay for half of the appointment price when booking to hold your spot. Please be advised, dates and scheduled makeup appointments will only be reserved when the 50% payment is made. Your payment will be non-refundable if you cancel your appointment for any reason.
PAYMENT POLICY - WEDDINGS:
Payment is expected in full on or before thirty (30) days before event date payable by Cash/PayPal/Credit Card for the remaining balance. In the event that the event date is booked less than 2 months before, the full balance is due at the time of booking with Cash or Card. If the Client has an outstanding balance on the wedding day services will NOT be rendered.
LATE POLICY - WEDDINGS OR REGULAR APPOINTMENTS:
A late fee of $25 will be charged for every 15 mins of delay when a client is late for a scheduled appointment time, or if scheduled makeup time exceeds allotted times because of Client delays. This will be paid for in cash before the Artist or client leaves. This also includes anyone in your booked party. If the Client (or anyone in your party) is late on the event date that time is deducted from the appointment time. If the Artist is not finished at the end of the allotted time because of tardiness the Artist will have to start the next client. If the Artist has time at the end they will finish the person who was late. The Artist is not responsible for tardiness and unfinished makeup due to the Client being late.
