Best Bride Beauty LTD – Terms & Conditions

1. Definitions

In these Terms & Conditions, the following expressions shall have the meanings set out below:

“Stylist” refers to Best Bride Beauty LTD and any stylist, assistant or team member working on its behalf.

“Client” refers to the person responsible for making the booking (usually the bride) and, where applicable, members of their bridal party.

“Event” refers to the wedding or occasion for which services are booked.

“Trial” refers to a hair and/or make-up trial appointment carried out prior to the Event.

“Booking Fee” refers to the non-refundable deposit required to secure the Event date.

2. Securing your wedding day

To reserve your wedding date exclusively in our diary, a £50 booking fee is required.
This booking fee is non-refundable and non-transferable and ensures that your date is held solely for you, with no other wedding bookings accepted for that day.
The booking fee will be deducted from your final balance.
The remaining balance is due one (1) week prior to your wedding date. A detailed invoice outlining all services and costs will be issued ahead of this date.
By proceeding with payment of the booking fee, you confirm that you are entering into a contract with Best Bride Beauty LTD and agree to these Terms & Conditions.

3. Pricing & Payments Schedule

Payments are to be made in 3 easy steps.

1. Reservation – £50 To secure and book the date. (This amount is deducted from the final balance.)

2. Bridal Preview / Trial £150 – To be paid and cleared 1 (one)week before the trial appointment date.

3. Final Balance – To be paid in full and cleared 1 week before wedding date

The pricing quoted at the time of booking will be honoured and any general price changes between the time of booking and your wedding date will not affect your agreed fee for the services booked.
A minimum of package 2 or above is required on all Saturday weddings.
After confirmation of booking if you would like to upgrade your package add further members please let me know as soon as possible, (at least 8 weeks prior to your wedding date) so any schedules can be amended with plenty of notice. Once booked packages are not able to be reduced in any circumstance.
Additional makeup services cannot be requested on wedding day due to the amount of time allocated per person ahead of your ceremony.
If the bridal party number changes for any reason on wedding day, payments are still non-refundable.
I will do my best to avoid requiring an additional artist where possible, but on larger bridal parties with earlier ceremonies an additional artist will be required. The fee to book and secure an 2nd artist for your entire booking is £60.00 per artist.

Failure to make payment within the specified timeframe may result in cancellation of the booking, with the Booking Fee forfeited.
