Q Why should I book a professional hair and make-up artist?

Q How can I secure my wedding date in your diary?
A You can contact me via email or by telephone where I will be able to advise you of my availability. A deposit of £50 is required in order to secure the booking of both the trial and the wedding day, this amount is fully redeemable against the final balance.

Q What time will you arrive on the day?
A I allow plenty of time, taking into consideration the setting up and the possibility of interruptions, breakfasts and greeting guests etc. I will supply you with a full schedule after your trial.

Q When and how do I pay?
A An immediate advance payment of £50 is required in order to secure the booking of both the trial and the wedding day and is fully redeemable against the final balance. The balance is payable either on the wedding day upon my arrival in cash or at least one week (seven days) prior to the wedding day. I accept payment via bank transfer, personal cheque or cash. Please note booking fees are non-refundable upon cancellation.

Q What if I decide to cancel my booking?
A Should you need to cancel your appointment, please contact me as soon as possible. Any changes or cancellations should be made in writing at least two months before the wedding. If you cancel your appointment within six weeks of the date, a late payment charge will be payable. Please note that all deposits are non-refundable.

Q Why do you also offer skin care with the make-up?
A For a make-up artist to be able to achieve the best possible look for you in terms of make-up application, suitability and longevity then it is vital that the make-up itself is applied to the best possible base (skin). I am an independent make-up artist and do not sell products of any kind. The 'skin care' I offer is unbiased as I only recommend what I believe will benefit my client as I have a vested interest in creating the most beautiful end result.

Q What if you are ill on my wedding day?
A In the unlikely event, I will endeavour to recommend an alternative high standard professional hair and make-up artist from my wide range of contacts within the industry. However, if for any reason this was not possible, you would, of course be given a full refund including your deposit.
