About us

Our approach is focused on understanding your needs and providing practical solutions. From personalized consultations to hands-on assistance.

 

TERMS & CONDITIONS

It is the responsibility of the named person in the booking form to understand, agree and accept responsibility for all booking conditions, including all payments due by specified dates.  When paying the  deposit and securing your booking you accept these terms of contract.

 

DEPOSITS

 I take a small non-refundable deposit  (£50) that provisionally holds your wedding date  (deposits are due within 7 days once booking form has been issued)

This is then deducted from the final total if you wish to go ahead with the booking or this covers your trial if you then wish to not go ahead with the booking after the trial.

If you change your wedding date I am more than happy to move your deposit across to your new date for free (if I am available on your new date and no more than a year later)  If I am not free on your new date you will be issued with a voucher unless you have already had your trial (service rendered) and you can use this towards a future booking if I am available. If you wish to move your date 1+ years after the initial booked date an additional small non- refundable deposit will be required and a small annual increase in rates will be applied.

  All deposits are non refundable under any circumstances, unless I cancel the booking. PLEASE NOTE - YOUR BOOKING IS NOT SECURE UNTIL I HAVE RECEIVED YOUR INITIAL DEPOSIT

FORCE MAJEURE

 Either party may choose to be excused of any further performance obligations in the event of a disastrous occurrence outside the control of either party, such as but not limited to: A natural disaster (flooding, explosions, hurricane, fires, storms or infestation), War, invasion, act of foreign enemies, embargo or other hostility (whether declared or not) or any hazardous situation created outside the control of either party such as riot, disorder, nuclear leak or explosion, act or threat of terrorism, pandemic. In the event of an illness/pandemic: If the client or members of the clients party are unwell have risk factors that they could be a carrier of a virus or have visited a high risk country then Nicola Honey Artistry would have to cancel the booking until after a period of self isolation has been carried out and proof given to the hair and makeup artist that this has been done. In the situation of force majeure: booking fees/deposits will not be refunded, nor will any fees for services rendered (i.e. trials, etc).

 WEDDING INSURANCE

It is the bride’s responsibility to ensure that they have adequate insurance to protect them from loss of monies in the event that a wedding is cancelled by the venue or government/department of health or any other reason. The hair/makeup artist will still need to receive payment of the full balance, according to cancellation policy, to ensure no loss of earnings takes place.I take payments by cash or bank transfer only.

THE TRIAL

The trial is normally 1-4 months before the wedding date, trials are usually carried out at my home, (ex5 7ez ) as I try and book in full days of trials.

 

FRIDAYS, SATURDAYS OR SUNDAYS CANNOT ALWAYS BE GUARANTEED AS THIS IS USUALLY WHEN MOST WEDDINGS ARE TAKING PLACE.

 

.Please bring along any inspiration images you have to help show me what you have in mind. For hair trials please wash your hair the night before so that it is easier to style and bring along any headpieces or a veil you plan to wear. Any other members of the bridal party requiring a trial will come at an additional cost.If for any reason you do not want to book after your bridal trial then your deposit covers your trial- any additional trials will need to be paid for .

 

If the trial date is within 8 weeks prior to the date, 50% of the balance will be required at the trial , if the trial is within 2 weeks of the wedding date 100%  of the balance would need to be paid at the trial.

 

TRAVEL

Travel is charged at 50p per mile return

 

CLIENT OBLIGATIONS

Please ensure that I will be working in a suitable environment with adequate lighting, electricity points and hand washing facilities.

Please ensure every member of the party is aware of timings and be available for hair.

 

It is the clients responsibility to inform me of any allergies or reactions prior to application.

 

If no known allergies are stated I cannot be held liable for any reactions, injuries, losses, damage, cost, claims and actions that may occur to you or any member of your party.

 

I reserve the right to refuse service to any client for, but not limited to, any behaviour deemed threatening or abusive. 

 

PHOTOGRAPHY AND IMAGE COPYRIGHT

It is imperative I update my portfolio and website to demonstrate my work to future brides.  Please let me know in advance if you do not wish to be in photographs or if you are not happy to appear in images on the website. I will not publish any trial images until after the wedding day, please feel free to tag yourself on social media sites. I sometimes do take before and after photos and are grateful to use these if possible , please inform me if you do not wish to have a before and after photograph. I am happy to be photographed on the wedding day whilst in action , if these photo are shared on social media please credit me accordingly. 

 

WEDDING DAY

 

If the travel time is more than 2 hours drive each way, overnight accommodation may be a required. The cost of accommodation is to be covered by the client.

 

Depending on your bridal party size, if a secondary hairstylist is needed,  this will incur a small surcharge.

 

The time that our team arrives to you will depend on what time you need to be ready, we may have other bookings after yours, please be ready for services at the designated time to allow a smooth service.

If parking is not free on site, then the parking fee is to be covered by the client.

 

CANCELLATION

It is the responsibility of the client(s) / original enquirer, to understand, agree and be held responsible for all booking conditions, including active communication, payment and notification of a cancellation and understanding the consequences.

The Client can cancel the trial at any point (no advance monies paid will be refunded) however a trial cancelled with less than 24 hours notice will be charged for the agreed rate. If for any reason you do not want to book after your bridal trial then your trial cost is already covered by your deposit.

In order to ensure that potential/other clients are not compromised any cancellation of another booking you will incur the following fees if you cancel:

Up to 3 months prior to the date – None

8 weeks prior to the date, you will pay 50% of the booked amount quoted on your booking confirmation email.

2 weeks prior to the day and under, you will pay 100% of the booked amount quoted on your booking confirmation email.

If the trial date is within 8 weeks prior to the date, 50% of the balance will be required at the trial, if the trial is within 2 weeks of the wedding date 100% of the balance would need to be paid at the trial.

You are solely responsible for ensuring thatI  receive your written rescheduling/cancellation. Failure to do so will incur the fees as above. A cancellation is only confirmed when the re-issued receipt from myself has been received via email.
