Not just makeup has a minimum booking price of £250 for all wedding bookings.

A full hair & makeup trial will last approximately 2-4 hours. For bridal makeup trials, we allocate a 2hr slot and for hair trials we allocate another 2hr slot. We can do these same day or different days if you require it.

Consultations/Patch Tests Clients receiving brow and/ lash services or hair colouring require a patch test at least 48 hours before their first appointment

 During your trial you must say if you are dissatisfied or unsure of the results and the style can be changed during the appointment time. You are encouraged to make the most of the first trial, as additional trials will be at an additional cost

Total cost of booking will be determined following trial – additional hair work or addition of hair pieces or extensions will be charged accordingly. It is normally the responsibility of the client to source hair extensions (due to colour matching) but advice can be given regarding this and I can try source these for you .

On day of trial, there is nothing else to pay unless you have other members of your bridal party also requesting a trial (bridesmaids, mother of the bride) this can be cash on the day or bank transfer. your final invoice will be payable 4 weeks before your reserved wedding date

Before our initial meeting, we ask that you send us photos of yourself and any hair  images that you love. This allows us to prepare properly.

The ARTISTS minimum required booking for most dates is a BRIDE and 3 other adults for hair and makeup services,

Location

As we offer a mobile service we will travel to you for the trial appointment if you are local. If you live more than a thirty minute drive from my postcode travel fees may apply.

Skin allergies –

Any allergies or skin conditions that the client may have must be told to the makeup artist. If the person is highly reactive to such products/ tools then this must be declared immediately. A trial is highly recommended to ensure no reactions occur. The make-up artist will not be held responsible for any reactions that may occur if any skin conditions were not stated before the application of make-up.

Travel and Parking charges apply and will have been stated in the confirmation of booking. The BRIDE is also liable for any car parking charges at their chosen venue. Travel expenses will be charged calculated at £1 per mile

• Changing the original booking by adding on another service will need prior notice and can only be accepted  if time will allow this. 
• If you wish to reduce or cancel your booking services within 6 weeks of the wedding date, the original costs will still be payable.
• If you wish to cancel your booking 6 or more weeks prior to the wedding date, the booking fee/deposit and trial fee are non-refundable, but no further costs would be required/owed.
• If your wedding is postponed within 12 months, no extra fees are required. (Booking fee can be carried over once)
• If your wedding is postponed more than 12 months an inflation charge will be added.
• It remains your responsibility to have the correct wedding insurance to cover you for unforeseen circumstances that may cancel your wedding day. Please check your wedding insurance for any Terms and Conditions.
• If the wedding is postponed or rescheduled, the deposit/balance paid can be carried over to a new date (dependant on availability). All payments towards the new date are non refundable should the new date be cancelled or postponed again. 

On the wedding day, It is the client’s responsibility to ensure that the timings specified for the hair and make up are met. In the event of a delay caused by the bridal party, completion of the hair and makeup will be at Not just makeup discretion.  Any party members that don’t adhere to the specified timings, causing delays, may result in their make-up and hair being forfeited. To carry out our work to the best of our ability we will need natural light, adequate space and we may also need seating to accommodate more than one member of the bridal party at a time. We may also need plug sockets for any electrical appliances and work surfaces to place our kit. 

If you wish to reduce or cancel your booking services within 6 weeks of the wedding date, the original costs will still be payable. You will be charged the full amount of the service since the booking duration on the requested date has been specifically allocated to you which results in lost earnings/bookings for us. It is your responsibility as the client to communicate and make the other parties aware of our rates and terms of service. Cancellations without the aforementioned prior notice (6 weeks ) will be charged the full cost of the booking. All security deposits are strictly non-refundable This also applies to weddings that have been cancelled due to personal relationship or financial changes.

Cancellation of any booking by you must be communicated in writing, by post or email and will only be confirmed upon receipt of this. The complete security deposit will be retained by us regardless of notice given due to administration and loss of other bookings caused by allocating your appointment
