FAQs / T&Cs
How do I book my Trial, where is it held and what prep is needed?
How to book your trial:
Can I try different hair and makeup looks at the Trial?
Your hair and makeup trial is for one look, please choose your favourite pictures for your appointment. If you cannot decide bring a couple and we will have a look at what you like and dislike of each picture to create a bespoke look for you. I am happy to make some small adjustments, however, if you want to start a new and completely different look from scratch after the first look a second hair and/or makeup trial charge will be added to cover the cost of extra materials and my time used to accommodate this.
What products do you use in your kit? (VEGAN & CRUELTY FREE BRANDS ALSO!)
I use only the highest quality professional products that are developed to look equally impressive in real-life as in photographs. I use a selection of CHANEL, Becca, Nars, YSL and The Ordinary. I use CRUELTY-FREE and VEGAN BRANDS such as Charlotte Tilbury, Laura Mercier, Hourglass BareMinerals and Smashbox.
Do you have hair accessories for me to try at the Trial?
Yes! I am an ambassador for MakeMeBridal who I have worked with for years. They have a stunning collection which I have in my studio for you to try during your hair trial. If there are any pieces you like you are welcome to purchase them from MakeMeBridal www.bridal-accessories.co.uk/shop/ using my discount code EMMAPBRIDES for money off
How long should I allow for the Trial and on the Wedding Day?
TRIALS - 1.5hours max for hair or makeup. 3 hours max for hair & makeup.
How do I book you for my Wedding?
Please fill out my contact form and I get in touch to provide a quote. If you are happy with my quote and would like to proceed with booking me, a 20% non-refundable booking fee deposit is taken at the time of booking. This is to secure your date with me and to hold it in my diary and turn down all other enquiries/bookings for that date. The deposit also covers the cost of your trial and payment to book any assistants for your date.
I think I will need hair extensions. What extensions do you recommend?
I highly recommend clip-in hair extensions if you would like to add length or thickness to your hair. I will be able to apply these and style them to suit the hairstyle you would like. If you already have permanent extensions fitted I can style and work with these also.
Can I make changes to my booking once I have confirmed?
Once you've placed a deposit, services cannot be removed. If you are unsure please exclude them out of the quote. Additional services may be added at a later date but booked services cannot be removed.
What happens if my Wedding timings change?
Depending on when we start and what time you need to be ready by, If we don't have enough time to get everyone ready by the changed ceremony timings, I will need to bring an assistant which will incur an additional cost of £70 for each assistant booked.
What happens if I want to postpone my wedding due to COVID-19?
All deposits are fully transferable to a new wedding date if you would like to postpone your date due to uncertainty of the current circumstances. Please get in touch asap allowing plenty of notice to confirm you are postponing so I can amend my diary and try to fill the date.
