Terms & CONDITIONS
It is the responsibility of the named person in the booking form to understand, agree and accept responsibility for all booking conditions, including all payments due by specified dates. When paying the deposit and securing your booking you accept these terms of contract.
MINIMUM BOOKING
I have a minimum booking number of four services per booking
DEPOSITS
I take a small non-refundable deposit (£50 for makeup or £75 for hair and makeup) that provisionally holds your wedding date (deposits are due within 7 days once booking form has been issued) This is then deducted from the final total if you wish to go ahead with the booking or this covers your trial if you then wish to not go ahead with the booking after the trial.
If you change your wedding date I am more than happy to move your deposit across to your new date for free (if I am available on your new date and no more than a year later) If I am not free on your new date you will be issued with a voucher unless you have already had your trial (service rendered) and you can use this towards a future booking if I am available. If you wish to move your date 1+ years after the initial booked date an additional small non- refundable deposit will be required and a small annual increase in rates will be applied. All deposits are non refundable under any circumstances, unless I cancel the booking.
PLEASE NOTE - YOUR BOOKING IS NOT SECURE UNTIL I HAVE RECEIVED YOUR INITIAL DEPOSIT
FORCE MAJEURE
Either party may choose to be excused of any further performance obligations in the event of a disastrous occurrence outside the control of either party, such as but not limited to: A natural disaster (flooding, explosions, hurricane, fires, storms or infestation), War, invasion, act of foreign enemies, embargo or other hostility (whether declared or not) or any hazardous situation created outside the control of either party such as riot, disorder, nuclear leak or explosion, act or threat of terrorism, pandemic. In the event of an illness/pandemic: If the client or members of the clients party are unwell have risk factors that they could be a carrier of a virus or have visited a high risk country then Nicola Honey Artistry would have to cancel the booking until after a period of self isolation has been carried out and proof given to the hair and makeup artist that this has been done. In the situation of force majeure: booking fees/deposits will not be refunded, nor will any fees for services rendered (i.e. trials, etc).
WEDDING INSURANCE
It is the bride’s responsibility to ensure that they have adequate insurance to protect them from loss of monies in the event that a wedding is cancelled by the venue or government/department of health or any other reason. The hair/makeup artist will still need to receive payment of the full balance, according to cancellation policy, to ensure no loss of earnings takes place.
I take payments by cash or bank transfer only.
THE TRIAL
The trial is normally 1-4 months before the wedding date, trials are usually carried out at my home, (I live in Birmingham. B30 ) as I try and book in full days of trials. I tend to do the trials on a Monday , Tuesday or Thursdays.
FRIDAYS, SATURDAYS OR SUNDAYS CANNOT ALWAYS BE GUARANTEED AS THIS IS USUALLY WHEN MOST WEDDINGS ARE TAKING PLACE.
If you have booked hair and makeup both trials will be carried out on the same day.
Please bring along any inspiration images you have to help show me what you have in mind. For hair trials please wash your hair the night before so that it is easier to style and bring along any headpieces or a veil you plan to wear.
Any other members of the bridal party requiring a trial will come at an additional cost.
If for any reason you do not want to book after your bridal trial then your deposit covers your trial- any additional trials will need to be paid for .
After the trial has taken place, please notify me within 7 DAYS whether you are happy with the trial and wish to continue with the booking. Failure to inform me of confirmation with result in your wedding date to be released.
If the trial date is within 8 weeks prior to the date, 50% of the balance WILL BE REQUIRED AT THE TRIAL , if the trial is within 2 weeks of the wedding date 100% of the balance would need to be paid at the trial.
The final balance is due one month before the wedding date .
TRAVEL
