Introduction

Last Updated: May 15, 2024

At Quietinlet, we strive to provide exceptional makeup services and ensure complete customer satisfaction. This Refund Policy outlines our procedures regarding deposits, payments, cancellations, and refunds for our various services.

By booking our services, you agree to the terms outlined in this Refund Policy.

Deposits

Purpose of Deposits

Deposits are required to secure your booking date and time in our schedule. When you pay a deposit, we reserve that time exclusively for you and decline other potential bookings for that slot.

Deposit Amounts

The following deposit amounts apply to our services:

  • Bridal Makeup: 50% of the total service cost
  • Bridal Party Makeup: 30% of the total service cost
  • Special Occasion Makeup: £30 per person
  • Makeup Lessons: £50
  • Group Workshops: 30% of the total cost
  • Editorial & Commercial Services: As specified in the contract

Deposit Payment Terms

Deposits must be paid within 48 hours of receiving your booking confirmation to secure your appointment. If a deposit is not received within this timeframe, your booking may be released without further notice.

All deposits are non-refundable except in specific circumstances outlined in this policy.

Cancellations

Regular Services (Non-Bridal)

For regular makeup services (special occasion makeup, makeup lessons, etc.), our cancellation policy is as follows:

  • Cancellation more than 7 days before the appointment: Deposit is non-refundable but can be transferred to a new date within 3 months (subject to availability).
  • Cancellation 3-7 days before the appointment: Deposit is non-refundable and cannot be transferred.
  • Cancellation less than 3 days before the appointment: Full payment is required.

Bridal Services

For bridal makeup services, our cancellation policy is as follows:

  • Cancellation more than 90 days before the wedding date: Deposit is non-refundable but 50% of the deposit amount can be transferred to another service within 6 months.
  • Cancellation 60-90 days before the wedding date: Deposit is non-refundable and cannot be transferred.
  • Cancellation 30-60 days before the wedding date: 75% of the total service cost is payable.
  • Cancellation less than 30 days before the wedding date: 100% of the total service cost is payable.

Group Bookings and Workshops

For group bookings (4 or more people) and workshops, our cancellation policy is as follows:

  • Cancellation more than 14 days before the event: Deposit is non-refundable but can be transferred to a new date within 3 months (subject to availability).
  • Cancellation 7-14 days before the event: Deposit is non-refundable and cannot be transferred.
  • Cancellation less than 7 days before the event: Full payment is required.

Commercial and Editorial Bookings

Cancellation terms for commercial and editorial bookings are specified in the individual contracts for these services.

Rescheduling

Regular Services

Requests to reschedule regular services must be made at least 72 hours before the scheduled appointment. One reschedule per booking is permitted without penalty, subject to our availability. Subsequent rescheduling may incur an additional fee of £25.

Bridal Services

Requests to reschedule bridal services must be made at least 30 days before the scheduled date. Rescheduling is subject to our availability and may be treated as a new booking if the new date is more than 6 months from the original date.

If we cannot accommodate your new date, our cancellation policy will apply.

Trials

Bridal makeup trials can be rescheduled with at least 72 hours' notice without penalty. Rescheduling with less notice will result in a £25 rescheduling fee.

Refunds

Service Dissatisfaction

While we strive for complete client satisfaction, makeup application is a subjective art. If you are not completely satisfied with your makeup service, please communicate your concerns to your artist immediately during or immediately after your appointment so that adjustments can be made.

If adjustments cannot resolve your concerns, we will assess each situation individually to determine an appropriate remedy, which may include:

  • Touch-ups or modifications to the makeup application
  • Partial refund
  • Credit toward future services

Claims for dissatisfaction made after you have left your appointment are more difficult to address and may not qualify for a refund.

Artist Cancellation

In the rare event that we need to cancel your appointment due to illness, emergency, or unforeseen circumstances, we will:

  • Attempt to find a suitable replacement artist of similar skill level
  • If no replacement is available, offer to reschedule to another mutually agreeable date
  • If rescheduling is not possible, provide a full refund of any deposits paid

Exceptional Circumstances

We recognize that exceptional circumstances beyond your control may arise. In cases of serious illness, bereavement, or other significant life events, we will consider refund requests on a case-by-case basis. Documentation may be required.

Trials

Bridal Makeup Trials

Bridal makeup trials are an essential part of the bridal makeup service and are charged separately from the wedding day makeup. The trial fee is non-refundable regardless of whether you choose to book your wedding day makeup with us.

If you decide to change your look significantly after your trial, requiring an additional trial session, standard trial rates will apply.

Gift Certificates

Gift certificates are non-refundable and cannot be exchanged for cash. They are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase and must be used within this period.

The value of gift certificates can be applied to any of our services, subject to availability.

Retail Products

If we sell retail products as part of our services:

  • Unopened products in their original packaging may be returned within 14 days of purchase for a full refund or exchange.
  • Products that have been opened, used, or had their seals broken cannot be returned for hygiene reasons.
  • If a product is defective, please return it within 14 days for a replacement or refund.

Payment Processing

Refund Method

Refunds will be processed using the original payment method whenever possible:

  • Credit/debit card payments will be refunded to the same card
  • Bank transfers will be refunded via bank transfer
  • Cash payments will be refunded via bank transfer (bank details will be required)

Refund Timing

We process refunds within 5-7 business days of approval. However, depending on your payment provider, it may take additional time for the refund to appear in your account.

Dispute Resolution

If you have a concern about our refund policy or a specific refund request, please contact us directly to discuss the matter. We aim to resolve all issues fairly and promptly.

If we cannot reach a satisfactory resolution through direct communication, you may pursue remedies available under UK consumer protection laws.

Changes to This Policy

We reserve the right to modify this Refund Policy at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting to our website. It is your responsibility to review this policy periodically for changes.
