Booking Terms

All bookings are subject to these terms and conditions. Completion of my Booking Form and payment of the required deposit is acknowledgement that you have read and agree to these terms. If you have any questions please just ask here

As a freelance service provider my family relies on me being fully booked to provide a stable and more importantly, predictable income. The bulk of my income is derived from weddings and special events, which are booked many months in advance, and last minute cancelations usually means that I am unable to fill the time with a comparable booking. No booking means no income and this is why I charge a deposit that is non refundable within 3 months of your booking date.

STUDIO BOOKING TERMS

A $50pp deposit is payable by bank transfer to secure your studio booking date. Payment of the deposit is confirmation that you fully understand and agree to these Studio Booking Terms. Deposits are subtracted from the booking total.

For bookings within 3 business days, please provide proof of payment via a bank receipt as the funds may not appear in my account in time.

Cancellations within 48hrs of your booking forfeits the deposit

I accept payment by either Cash or Bank Transfers for the remainder of your booking total. Bank Transfers must be completed before the booking day with proof of payment provided if the funds have not been received in time. If proof of payment can not be provided then the balance must be paid in cash. Bank transfers on the day of your booking are not accepted.

If your event is cancelled or postponed for reasons beyond your control, you may request to use your deposit for a future booking within 12 months of your original booking date, subject to my availability and future service charge increases.

In the event that I am unable to complete the booking due to sickness, family emergency, are required to isolate due to Covid-19, or any other extenuating circumstance, and I can not arrange a suitable replacement, all monies paid by you up to that point will be fully refunded. While I will endeavour to recommend suitable replacements, you agree to not hold me liable for any additional costs or damages incurred by you due to the cancellation including, but not limited to, additional costs to book a replacement stylist.

All service prices, fees and these booking terms relate only to the services I provide to you. Any additional artist/s assisting with your booking are self employed freelance artists and set their own terms and fees.

I reserve the right to alter, change and update these Booking Terms at any time, and without notice for all future bookings not currently confirmed with a deposit.

These Booking Terms are current as of the 20th June 2022

DEPOSITS

A deposit is a payment to secure my services for your mobile booking date.

No mobile booking is secure until a deposit has been received into my bank account.

Mobile Deposit – $100 or 25%, whichever is greater.

In the event your booking date is in less than 7 days, you please provide proof of payment via a bank receipt incase the funds do not appear in my account in time.

Deposits are fully redeemable 90 days or more before your booking date.

Bridal – If you feel more comfortable having a trial before paying a deposit, I recommend you pay the deposit to hold your wedding date and book your trial no less than 3 months before your wedding date. You can then request a full refund of the deposit if you decide not to go ahead with the booking. If you choose not to pay the deposit then the booking slot remains available to the first person who does make payment. Booking and payment of a trial does not secure your wedding date.

Deposits are subtracted from the booking total.

Quoted prices remain valid for 1 week. Prices are subject to change without notice so if you wish to lock in your quoted price you will be required to pay the deposit.

PAYMENTS

Mobile – Bookings must be paid in full 14 days before your booking date via Bank Transfer.

Proof of payment via a bank receipt to be provided for all Bank Transfers less than 7 days before your booking date.

The person named as the client on the booking form is wholly responsible for ensuring all monies owed are paid when due.

Deposits are fully refundable if you cancel 90 days or more before the booking date.

Deposits are NOT REFUNDABLE if you cancel less than 90 days before the booking date.

In the event that part of the booking is cancelled, and the booking is in 30 days or less and has been confirmed with a deposit, the service/s may be transferred to another person for the original booking day and same location only or 50% of the quoted price of those services will be forfeited.

If your event is cancelled or postponed for reasons beyond your control, you may request to use your deposit for a future booking within 18 months of your original booking date, subject to my availability and future service charge increases. If the new booking needs to be cancelled or postponed the deposit is forfeited and a new deposit is payable.

In the event that myself, or any artist/s I have contracted to assist with your booking, are unable to complete the booking due to sickness, family emergency, are required to isolate due to Covid-19 or any other extenuating circumstance, and I can not arrange another stylist to cover your event, all monies paid by you up to that point will be fully refunded. While I will endeavour to recommend suitable replacements, you agree to not hold myself and/or my contracted stylists liable for any additional costs or damages incurred by you due to the cancellation including but not limited to additional costs to book a replacement stylist.

TRIALS

A trial is recommended for all brides. Trials are available but not essential for the rest of the bridal party or any other event. Please do not book a trial without confirming that I have availability for your main event first.

TRAVEL

My mobile prices include travel within 20km of Doncaster. For distances more than 20km a travel fee of $1 per km from Doncaster will be applied. Travel fees for any subcontracted artist/s assisting with your booking are subject to their own rates and conditions.

PARKING

Parking for each stylist is to be arranged for bookings within the CBD, or where parking is restricted, either at your hotel or pay the parking fee of the nearest parking facility. Please be aware that some parking centres in the CBD can charge ridiculous fees which is out of our control. Bookings at Crown Towers and Crown Promenade can either choose Valet Parking or Basement Parking. The Multi-Level car park is not an option due to the distance required to carry the equipment needed for your booking. This is an OH&S issue for mobile artists. Requesting an artist to move their car during a booking to avoid fees is not permitted.

ASSISTANTS

For larger groups or where an additional artist/s would be beneficial, I have a carefully curated network of talented and reliable freelance hair and makeup artists I can call on to assist. I am more than happy to secure their services on your behalf.

If an assistant is requested or required I will make enquiries on your behalf to determine availability, negotiate costs and present you with available options. Once you are happy to go ahead I will secure their services and manage the booking for you.

ADDITIONAL CHARGES
  1. Assistant Fees dependant on the artist available for your booking.
  2. Early Start Fee $25 per 15min before 7am per artist
