DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES I agree that I am paying for hair and makeup services provided by the independent beauty artists at Beauty by Creative at Heart.

Please be advised, dates and scheduled times, as well as reserved artists will only be guaranteed when a signed contract and deposit are received.

When reserving your date, book accordingly. Any additional beauty needs outside contract will only be performed at the discretion of the artist. All persons involved in beauty appointments need to be available at the scheduled time of said appointment to not break the contract. All beauty applications for more than one person must be at the same location and consecutive in time (no gaps in between).
EARLY CALL TIMES: A minimum $50 fee per artist will be charged for appointment times scheduled before 7:00 a.m. Additional early fees will be added at a rate of $10 per 30-minute increment, including travel time exceeding 30 minutes to meet an early start time.
DELAYS: A late fee of $25.00 will be charged for every 15 minutes of delay when a client is late or not available at time of scheduled service, or if scheduled service exceeds allotted time because of client delays.
DOUBLE BOOKING CLAUSE: Due to potential scheduling conflicts, if any person not available for an appointed booking time, then his or her makeup may be canceled (at the sole discretion of the artist) or another client scheduled will be taken in their place to avoid gaps in time. All deposit monies are non-refundable if service is not performed on the day of the event.
INVOICING AND PAYMENT: Weddings and events are invoiced based on the contract agreement between client and BCH. Changes in the number and type of services may require an updated agreement and invoices will be updated.

BCH will not provide separate invoices for individuals within the same party for the event. Gratuity is added to all invoices for your convenience and is optional. The amount of gratuity can be changed at the discretion of the client and is not considered as part of the deposit or final payment obligations. The final balance is due 7 days prior to the event to avoid delays on the day of the event.
