3. Changes to Bookings (All)

  • Once the booking details have been confirmed your booking numbers cannot be lowered. You have entered into an agreement based on the numbers given and therefore booking must be honoured as it was originally taken. Any changes must be agreed by SJB Hair and Makeup who will do her best to accommodate.
  • Notification should be given of any changes to the booking and styling session as soon as possible. This includes changes to location, dates and times. It is the clients’ responsibility to do this as we cannot guarantee stylists availability all day.
  • Changes must be confirmed in writing via email or telephone conversation and are not accepted as written notice until you have received a reply from Samantha. Please do not rely on texts as I do not always receive them.
  • Changes made to the number of services, if there are less people than the minimum or agreed number at time of booking the full price will still be charged.
  • Adding on extra people/larger bookings/early ceremony times may require an extra makeup artist and extra charges could apply.

3a. Change of trial date (All)

  • If you need to change your trial date we will do our best to find an alternative date. Artists do not book trials on a Friday/Saturday/Sunday mornings during peak times as we are busy with weddings.

3b. Changes to those having trials (All)

  • Any changes made by the bride to a styling session must be made in writing 14 days before the date of the styling session.

Please inform Samantha of changes to confirm new costs.

3c. Change of wedding/event date (All)

  • If you need to move your wedding date, we will do our best to rebook the original artist for the new date or supply another available artist. If this is not possible then the usual cancellation fees apply and SJB Hair and Makeup shall be entitled to the deposit amount as liquidated damages for having to reschedule the event.
  • The deposit amount will need to be repaid upon booking the new date, subject to SJB Hair and Makeup availability.

3d. Change to number of clients (All)

5a. Cancellations (Weddings)

  • Bookings for weddings are usually made well in advance of the actual wedding date, late cancellations are almost impossible to resell and for that reason the following conditions apply.
  • In the event you need to cancel your wedding the deposit to secure the date will not be refunded. If you have had a styling session this will also not be refunded as the service has already been provided.

  • COVID CLAUSE: If you sadly have to reschedule your wedding/event due to government health advice in relation to a national or localised pandemic such as COVID-19, meaning you can no longer  fulfil your original plans due to reduced numbers or venue closure due to no fault of your own. I am willing to reschedule your booking to a new date within 12 months, subject to availability with no additional costs incurred. I will require as much notice as possible, no later than 28 days. For notice of postponement any later than 28 days, the usual cancellation policy will apply regardless of if your wishing to reschedule. This is charged due to loss of earnings at such short notice where tools, products and equipment costs plus admin fees will have already been laid out in advance.
