Refund Policy
Last Updated: June 15, 2024
1. Introduction
At Glamour Visage, we are committed to providing exceptional makeup and visagiste services to our clients. We understand that circumstances can change, and we have established this Refund Policy to outline our practices regarding cancellations, rescheduling, and refunds for our services and products.
This Refund Policy applies to all services booked through our website glamourvisage.com, via phone, email, or in person at our studio.
By booking a service or purchasing a product from Glamour Visage, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy.
2. Service Booking Deposits
2.1 Standard Services
For standard makeup services (non-bridal, non-event), we require a 30% non-refundable deposit at the time of booking to secure your appointment. The remaining balance is due on the day of your service.

For bridal makeup services, we require a 50% non-refundable deposit at the time of booking. The remaining balance is due 14 days prior to the wedding date.
2.3 Special Event and Group Bookings
For special events and group bookings of 3 or more people, we require a 50% non-refundable deposit at the time of booking. The remaining balance is due 7 days prior to the event date.
2.4 Deposit Purpose
Deposits are used to secure your appointment time, cover preparation costs, and reserve the necessary resources for your service. This allows us to decline other bookings for that time slot.

5. Late Arrival Policy
We value punctuality to ensure all clients receive their full service time:
- If you arrive up to 15 minutes late, your service will be shortened accordingly to end at the scheduled time.
- If you arrive more than 15 minutes late, we reserve the right to cancel your appointment, and it will be treated as a 'no-show' (see below).
- Payment remains due in full regardless of shortened service time due to late arrival.

A 'no-show' occurs when a client fails to attend their scheduled appointment without any prior notification:
- For standard services: The deposit is forfeited, and future bookings may require full prepayment.
- For bridal services: The full payment remains due as per the booking agreement.
- For special event and group bookings: The full payment remains due as per the booking agreement.
7. Service Dissatisfaction
Your satisfaction is our priority. If you are not completely satisfied with your service:
- Please inform your makeup artist immediately during or immediately after your service so we can address your concerns on the spot.
- We will make reasonable adjustments to correct any issues while you are still in our studio.
- If we cannot resolve the issue to your satisfaction and the issue is due to our service quality, we will offer one of the following solutions:
- A partial refund based on the nature of the issue
- A complimentary touch-up appointment
- A discount on your next service
- Refund requests for service dissatisfaction must be made within 24 hours of the service completion.
Please note: Subjective preferences regarding style, color choices, or artistic direction that were agreed upon during consultation are not eligible for refunds if the work was performed as discussed.
