Before you book
Makeup Booking & Service Policy
Last updated: 13 September 2026 · Applies to all bookings with YB Elegance
To ensure every client receives a professional, comfortable and timely experience, please read the following policies carefully before booking.
1. Booking deposit
- A £10 non-refundable deposit is required to secure and confirm your appointment.
- For bridal and wedding-day bookings, the deposit is £50, reflecting the time reserved and preparation involved.
- Your appointment is not confirmed until the deposit has been received.
- The remaining balance must be paid immediately after your makeup service has been completed, before I pack up and leave.
2. Travel & home appointments
- I am available for home appointments and travel services.
- Travel/transportation charges are separate from the cost of the makeup service and are calculated based on the location and actual transportation costs.
- For appointments outside my usual service area, transportation and accommodation costs are to be covered by the client.
3. Timing
- A standard makeup appointment takes a maximum of 2 hours.
- Please allow enough time in your schedule so that you and your guests are not under unnecessary pressure.
- I work efficiently and professionally to ensure your makeup is completed within the allocated time.
4. Privacy & the makeup room
- For the duration of the appointment, the makeup area should remain calm and private.
- Other than the client receiving the service and the makeup artist, family members, friends and other guests should not repeatedly enter and leave the room during the makeup session.
- This helps me maintain concentration, hygiene and a professional working environment while ensuring your makeup is completed on time.
5. Who is being serviced?
- Your appointment covers only the person who was booked and paid for.
- I will not provide additional services to family members, friends or other guests during your appointment, including:
- “Just doing my brows”
- “Just a little makeup”
- Quick touch-ups for another person
- Makeup for a family member who was not booked
- If another person would like a makeup service, they are very welcome to book their own appointment.
- This allows me to manage my schedule fairly and give every booked client the time and attention they have paid for.
6. Late arrivals
- Please be ready at your scheduled appointment time.
- Clients arriving 30 minutes late will incur a £10 lateness fee.
- Significant delays may affect the amount of time available for your makeup appointment, particularly where another client is booked afterwards.
7. Photos & videos
- By booking my services, you acknowledge that photos and/or videos taken during or after your makeup appointment may be used on my social media platforms, website, portfolio and other professional marketing channels.
- If you have specific concerns regarding photography or content, please discuss this with me before your appointment — there is a box on the booking form for exactly this.
8. Leaving the property
- Once your makeup service has been completed, please ensure that at least one person remains in the house while I pack my equipment and leave.
- This person will act as a witness that my equipment and belongings have been packed and removed from the property before I leave.
9. Travel bookings
- I am available to travel for makeup bookings.
- For bookings requiring travel outside my usual service area, the client is responsible for covering transportation and accommodation costs in addition to the makeup service fee.
- Any travel arrangements and associated costs will be discussed and agreed upon before the booking is confirmed.
10. Professional boundaries
- I value every client and aim to provide a calm, professional and enjoyable makeup experience.
- By booking an appointment, you agree to respect my time, professional boundaries, equipment and working environment.
Cancellations & rescheduling
- Deposits are non-refundable.
- You may reschedule once, with at least 48 hours’ notice, and your deposit will carry over to the new date.
- Late cancellations and no-shows result in loss of the deposit.

Thank you for choosing my artistry and for respecting these policies. 🤍
