Terms & Conditions
Terms & Conditions
Introduction
All BRIDES are advised to take out wedding insurance.
​
Terms and Conditions when booking Vicky Spencer-Evans who owns Bridal Hair & Makeup Of Cheshire.
Other ARTISTS such as Anna Avis and assistants may also work with Vicky and Vicky will pay the ARTISTS directly, other ARTISTS have their own insurance and public liability.
At times, BRIDES may be asked to pay their final bill in 2 payments, 1 to Vicky and 1 to Anna or another ARTIST.
Non-Refundable Or Transferable Booking Fee
1. These are the only terms and conditions on which the ARTIST will supply the Wedding Trial Services and the Wedding Day Services (and/or any other professional services) to the BRIDE.
​
2. The BRIDE is encouraged to read these Terms and Conditions carefully and to check that the details on the Booking Form are complete and accurate before paying a booking fee, therefore agreeing to the Terms and conditions. If the BRIDE considers that there is a mistake or that any changes are required, these should be raised immediately with the ARTIST.
​
3. These Terms and Conditions will become binding when the BRIDE receives the booking form and decides to transfer the booking fee to the ARTIST, the BRIDE has 3 days to pay the non-refundable booking fee from the day the BRIDE receives the booking email from the ARTIST. The BRIDE will be advised that this has been sent, after these 3 days if the booking fee has not been paid, the date will not continue to be held.
​
If any of these Terms and Conditions conflict with any term of the Booking Form, the Booking Form will take priority.
4. All BRIDES are please required to pay for and attend their Trial Sessions at least 4 months before the BRIDE'S wedding date that the ARTISTS services are booked for, the only time this is not needed is if the BRIDE is firstly booking the ARTISTS services within 4 months of the BRIDES wedding day.
If the BRIDE is unable to attend her trial until after this time due to illness, being based abroad, a family bereavement or wanting to change their hair colour to name a few reasons that might effect a BRIDE attending at the time needed, the trial cost detailed on the BRIDES booking form will need to be transferred to the ARTIST in advance of the BRIDES trial. Payment will please need to be received by the ARTIST 4 months before the BRIDES wedding date and the ARTIST will then book the BRIDE in for a trial as soon as the BRIDE is able to attend.
​
If the BRIDE has still not attended her trial 2 months and 2 weeks prior to her wedding and the BRIDES wedding date has been reserved in the ARTISTS diary for the last 5 months, it is reasonable for the ARTIST to ask for all remaining money of the BRIDES invoice for the ARTISTS services for trial session and wedding day services to be payable within the next 2 weeks. This would mean that all payments would need to have been made for the final balance by 2 moths prior to the BRIDES wedding date, as the BRIDE is now in breach of contract and the ARTIST will need to be financially equipped to either keep the BRIDES trial services and wedding date reserved for her or if the BRIDE was to cancel, all reaming money owed would be payable at this stage regardless of services needing to be carried out or not.​
​
TRIAL CANCELLATION POLICY:
​
Unfortunately like most salon service providers we have needed to put a cancellation policy in place due to last minute cancellations and no shows, cancellations within the below time frames of will incur the following charges:
​
- Within 72 hour of your bridal hair and makeup appointment will incur a £20 charge
- Within 48 hours of your bridal hair and makeup will incur a £35 charge (trials for bridal hair or makeup or bridal party member hair an makeup trial £20)
- Within 24 hours or no show of your bridal hair and makeup will incur a £50 charge (trials for bridal hair or makeup or bridal party member hair and makeup trial £30)
​
Cancellation/rearrange fees are needed to be charged as time and staffing has been put aside for your appointment, this is payable within 24 hours after your allocated trial session booking, you will need to pay the cancellation fee to then be able to rebook another trial session.
If you notify us that you need to rearrange your trial session prior to 72 hours of your arranged trial session appointment, no cancellation charge will apply.
The BRIDE agrees, accepts and understands that any cancellation fee remains payable if not enough adavnce notice has been given to the ARTIST, it is up to the ARTIST'S discretion in very unusual circumstances to allow a discount or no charge.
​
The ARTIST does not offer trial sessions in August as this is the ARTIST'S busiest month of the year or at weekends. Trial sessions are conducted from 9.15am-7pm Monday - Thursday.
​
If the trial session booked by the ARTIST and BRIDE needs to be regrettably changed by the ARTIST, the ARTIST will give 2 weeks’ notice.
BRIDES must make the ARTIST aware of any allergies before coming for a trial session, the Artist will always provide refreshments and light bites at the trial, BRIDES should let the ARTIST know of any special dietary requirements prior to coming.
​
Brides must make the ARTIST aware of any allergies to skincare, makeup or hair care so that the correct products are used.
​
In booking the Wedding Day Services, the BRIDE acknowledges, agrees and accepts that she is not to leave her trial session until she is happy with the results of the Wedding Trial and wishes for the ARTIST to replicate that look (as close as is reasonably possible and practical). Please be realistic with what can be achieved, trial sessions require a lot of imagination as BRIDES will not be wearing their wedding dress, have flowers or be in a beautiful wedding venue, sometimes hair extensions are needed and sometimes some BRIDES find that their trial can be more of a discovery of what they don’t want and can sometimes need a second trial. Sometimes BRIDES choose a look and change their mind, this is one of the reasons the ARTIST asks a BRIDE to firstly book in for a trial at least 4 months before their wedding day, the ARTISTS' main aim is to make BRIDES feel comfortable and feel happy with their final look.
​
5. If the ARTIST'S services are no longer required and cancelled within 4 months of the BRIDE'S wedding date, as it is highly unlikely that the ARTIST will be able to gain work from another wedding, with being given little notice as most wedding bookings are booked in advance, all monies owed for trial services and wedding day services are owed in full. This is because the ARTIST has reserved the BRIDES wedding date, the ARTIST will have turned other weddings and work away on that date, this is the ARTIST'S business and would only ask to be treated fairly.​
​
The Services
​
6. The ARTIST will supply the Wedding Trial Services and the Wedding Day Services (and/or any other agreed professional services) to the BRIDE at the time and on the date confirmed in the Booking Form for the agreed price and at the location identified therein.
Please be aware that the ARTIST and any other artist/stylist that the ARTIST might book to work on a BRIDES wedding are normal people who at times will become ill, they will have bereavements in their family or become pregnant. In the event of any of these situations, the ARTIST will do her very best to find alternative cover and fulfil the BRIDES booking to the best of her ability.
​
7. For the avoidance of doubt, the professional services to be provided by the ARTIST will be confined only to those agreed in advance and specified in the Booking Form.
​
8. The provision by the ARTIST of any additional services on the wedding day itself (to include the provision of services to any additional third parties) will be entirely at the discretion of the ARTIST. The BRIDE accepts that the ARTIST shall be under no obligation whatsoever to provide any such additional services beyond those identified in the Booking Form. The BRIDE understands that there may not be sufficient time or product available to the ARTIST to provide any additional services.
​
9. Alternatively, if the ARTIST does agree (at her discretion) to provide any additional services other than those identified in the Booking Form, this will be at a price to be agreed on the day which will be due and payable immediately.
​
10. In booking the Wedding Day Services, the BRIDE acknowledges, agrees and accepts that she is not to leave her trial session until she is happy with the results of the Wedding Trial and wishes for the ARTIST to replicate that look (as close as is reasonably possible and practical).
​
Payment Terms
​
11. The BRIDE agrees, accepts and understands that the cost of the Wedding Trial Services remains payable if 24 hours’ notice to cancel has not been given, it is up to the ARTIST'S discretion in very unusual circumstances to allow a discount or no charge.
​
12. Once a booking fee has been paid, therefore the BRIDE accepts to the terms and conditions, 4 months before the wedding date at the cost of all agreed Services - including the Wedding Trial Services and the Wedding Day Services (and/or any other professional services) - becomes immediately due and payable in full without deduction, even if cancelled subsequently by the BRIDE.
Weddings can be cancelled for lots of reasons unfortunately, illness, fire at venue, relationship breakdown, natural disaster and this is why the ARTIST advises BRIDES to take out wedding insurance, if the BRIDE cancels the ARTIST'S services within 4 months of the agreed wedding date, that the ARTIST has been booked to work on and for example after paying a booking fee, £500 is owed to the ARTIST for wedding day services, £500 will be owed to the ARTIST, as the ARTIST runs a business and relies on this income and will have reserved services for the BRIDE for that date.
​
13. Upon receiving a confirmation of booking, a non-refundable booking fee of £80-260 depending on the booking is due within three days in order to secure the ARTISTS Wedding Day Services.
​
14. The ARTISTS minimum required booking for most dates is a BRIDE and 3 other adults for hair and makeup services, for peak dates such as the Christmas period, New Years Eve, Saturdays and Sundays all year round and Fridays in summer, bookings of 5 to 6 adults may be required to book a date out for a BRIDES wedding. When a BRIDE first get in touch, the ARTIST will advise in a quote of how many services are required for their date, sometimes when booking the ARTIST for an off peak date or last minute wedding booking, the ARTIST will lower the minimum required booking.
If the number of people a BRIDE requires the ARTISTS services for does not meet the minimum required booking, the minimum booking and spend will still apply unless stated on the BRIDES booking form. If the BRIDES booking reduces in numbers, resulting in the wedding booking no longer meets the minimum spend, then the minimum spend would still apply.
​
15. No changes to the number of people and services a BRIDE has booked for in the confirmation of booking form can be altered to less people within four months prior to their wedding, the minimum required booking for a BRIDES date will still apply and this will be advised at the top of page 2 on your booking form. If another artist/stylist has been booked to work on your booking, you will loose £50 of the booking fee you have already paid to this 3rd artist/stylist if the ARTIST is notified prior to 4 months before your wedding day and the BRIDE will be advised of what numbers are need to be met for 2 artists working on the BRIDES booking.
​
16. For the avoidance of doubt, the BRIDE agrees, accepts and understands that the ARTIST is under no obligation nor can she be required to provide a refund, whether in part or in full, if the Wedding Day Services are cancelled at any time prior to the date of the wedding (other than if cancelled by the ARTIST herself). The BRIDE further agrees, accepts and understands that this is for the protection of the ARTISTS business and to ensure she is remunerated for her professional time.
​
17. The price of the Wedding Trial Services, the Wedding Day Services and/or any other professional services to be provided by the ARTIST are set out in the price list in force at the time. Prices may change at any time, but subsequent price changes will not retrospectively affect the cost of the Wedding Trial Services and the Wedding Day Services confirmed on the Booking Form.
​
18. Prices are not subject to VAT.
​
19. If any payment due to the ARTIST is not made by the due date for payment, the ARTIST may charge interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 10% a year above the base lending rate of the Bank of England from time to time. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount.
