Hair by Rae "The Technician" 

Please read my terms and conditions carefully as payment of a non refundable booking fee means acceptance of these terms and conditions. Numbered 1-27

Booking

1.Please fill out the bridal contract form and send it back to myself after you have read all of the terms and conditions as by sending back the contract it means that you agree with them.

2.The wedding day deposit is due at the time of booking which is £60. This is a non-refundable booking fee in the event of part or complete cancellation. This will be deducted from your final wedding cost.

3.Cash or bank transfer payment only must be paid 1 week before the wedding date. However, if you prefer to pay earlier we can discuss this further. I do not accept cheques, Paypal, credit/debit card and other forms of payments.

 4.The minimum cost for a booking is bride and up to 3 others which is stated in the price list sent. If there is only a party of the bride and two others the minimum fee will still need to be paid. Additional fees for extra people to be added on which is stated in the price list document.

Trial/Preview

5. Please ensure prior to any hair appointments that you wash your hair either the night before or day of appointment, I cannot style on dirty, unwashed hair and will be asked to re-arrange the appointment (trial/preview) which will be an extra cost to rebook.

6. Every effort is made during the consultation process, and trial, to agree on an overall style and ensure that there are no reactions to any of the products used by the technician. Therefore the technician accepts no liability for any reactions caused to the client. As every effort is made during the consultation process to agree on a style for the wedding day then the technician accepts no liability for the outcome of any style changes made on the-wedding day or condition of the hair caused by products used by the client previous to the technician style the hair on the wedding day.

7. Trials are to be paid on the day of appointment by Cash or Bank transfer.

8. Trials need to be booked 4-8 weeks in advance. Anything less will compromise what days and times I can give you, These can be booked through the week at 9am or Friday/Saturdays 9/10/11/12pm subject to availability.

9. Trials are held at my home address: Turriff, Aberdeenshire AB53 8BS. I ask you to come to the trial appointment with no more than one other adult due to the lack of space in my studio. Please allow a max of 2 hours per person for your bridal preview appointment. For a bigger party for trials this will be discussed to arrange at your home address and an extra cost for travel will be added.

10. Trial/preview appointments are only made if there is a non refundable booking fee made for securing the wedding date.

Cancelling

11. If you need to cancel the wedding less than 6 weeks before 50% of the wedding balance must still be paid. If you need to cancel the wedding less than 3 weeks before 75% of the wedding price must still be paid. If you need to cancel less than 1 week the full amount will still need to be paid. The final balance is required to be paid 4 weeks before the wedding, any late payments may result in extra costs.

12. If for any reason you decide not to go ahead with the technician for the wedding date, the trial is still required to be paid for in full and the payment for securing your date will not be refunded.

13. In the unlikely event that the technician has to cancel, a full refund will be given and an alternative technician will be sourced.

14. In the event that you need to cancel your wedding the booking fee to secure the date will not be refunded. If you have had your trial this also will not be refunded, as the service has already been provided.

14.The technician has the right to refuse/cancel a booking if payment is not clear in the bank; the correct information is not given by the client at the time of booking; contact cannot be made and deposits not been paid.

15.If your wedding date has to be cancelled/postponed due to covid restrictions or any other pandemics, there will not be a refund for the booking fee as the booking fee is non refundable as stated in number 9. To change your wedding date a new booking fee will have to be made which is a £60 non refundable booking fee.

Hair Extensions

16. Hair extensions are offered/recommended but need a couple of appointments before the trial appointment. These can include human hair clip ins which are ideal for just wanting thicker hair for on the day or longer lasting curls. Or human hair extensions which can be fitted by myself which can be discussed at a hair extension consultation regarding if possible and what type of method (weave, nano rings, tapes or stick tips) This is ideal for longer term or wants the sides of the face filled out. If the client has their own hair extensions, they will need to bring them at trial appointment.
