The booking policy

• To secure your wedding booking a non refundable booking fee is required and can be paid via bank transfer. This non refundable booking fee is 30% of the total fee for the service required. This amount will be deducted from the overall total.

• Arranging a trial does not secure your booking.

• By paying the non refundable booking fee the client is agreeing to these terms and conditions.

• All bridal bookings are subject to a £480.00 minimum spend.

• Payment for the bridal trial must be made on the day of the trial.

• The remaining balance is to be paid 2 weeks (14 days) before the event. 

• Strip lashes and individual lashes are complimentary, and refusing them will not alter the price of a makeup service.

• The Bride is responsible for all payments regarding Services in this contract. 

• The Artist shall be entitled to charge the Client for any expenses reasonably incurred by the individuals whom the Makeup Artist engages in connection with the Services. This includes travelling expenses, hotel costs, subsistence if an overnight stay is needed and any associated expenses, and for the cost of services provided by third parties and required by the Makeup Artist for the performance of the Services, and for the cost of any extra materials required but not described in the Services or booking. These will all be communicated prior. 

• The Artist shall be entitled to charge the Client for a second makeup artist, hair stylist or assistant if requested or required at a supplemental charge of up to £150.00. This will be communicated prior and only charged for large bridal parties.

• Cancellations by the Artist due to circumstances including, but not limited to, problems rendering the performance of her obligations and where no other suitable alternative can be given will result in a full refund to the Client. No further compensation will be offered. An alternative highly recommended makeup artist might be suggested by the Artist.

• Refunds are issued via the same method of payment.

• Although we operate a non-transferable deposit policy, we do understand you may wish to change your wedding date due to certain circumstances, and of course I would still like to be a part of your new date. The Artist will do everything in her power to make the new date of services possible. If the new date cannot be accommodated, the deposit is liable to be lost.

• Once the booking number has been agreed, and the contract signed, this number cannot be reduced. The client is obligated to pay the amount agreed when the contract was signed. However, the number can be increased. Please ensure that all additional parties included in the booking are happy to be included and won't change their mind.

• Any changes to the bookings in relation to the bridal trial, number of clients, times, locations and/or dates shall be notified to the Makeup Artist at least 48 hours in advance of the Event. The Makeup Artist shall not be obliged to accommodate any last minute change requests.

​

Trials

• Please allow plenty of time for trials. Bridal hair or makeup trials can take up to 2 hours, bridal hair and makeup trials can take up to 3 hours.

• Trials take place on weekdays or evenings, as I prioritise weekends for wedding bookings.

Exclusivity

• This Contract is entered into between the Bride and the Artist. No other party member or wedding supplier can correspond with, create terms or cancel for the Bride or act on behalf of the Bride.

•  The Makeup Artist in this contract retains exclusivity with the Bride and Bridal Party. Eleanor and her team shall be the exclusive makeup artist for the Client & the selected members of the Bridal Party, unless otherwise specified.

• Any additional Artist hired, with the permission of Eleanor, must not under any circumstances have usage over the work pertaining to Eleanor.

• Exclusivity is not guaranteed for the whole day of the Event. A second event on the Wedding Date undertaken by the Artist will not affect the event for which this Contract is for. 

​Artist Obligations

• I, the Artist, shall provide services with the highest standard of skill and care.

• The Artist will set up 15 minutes before the agreed start time.

• Makeup and/or hair provided to the client by Eleanor is done using quality professional materials and quality sanitised makeup.

• Every effort is taken to create a long-lasting look but the Artist makes no claims about the longevity of the look due to how the skin can react on the day due to weather, diet, personal skin care and skin prep done by the Client.

• Should the Artist need to cancel your booking, we will notify you at the earliest opportunity and without liability. In the unlikely event of a cancellation, as much advance notice as possible will be given to the Client and every effort will be taken to find a replacement artist.

• We strongly advise that all of our Clients obtain the relevant wedding insurance. It is your responsibility to protect yourself and purchase a wedding insurance policy prior to booking & securing deposits with your wedding venue and suppliers. Please notify us at this time if you have chosen to go against our guidance and not take out the necessary wedding insurance. Sadly occasionally things do go wrong and wedding insurance provides essential financial protection. Otherwise, you will be held fully responsible for any costs incurred and invoiced for this payment due despite the circumstances for cancellation or rearrangement.
