There is no travel charge for hair and makeup services in or around East London and Ilford. There will be a travel charge for other bookings outside this area.

Vin will require a small deposit to secure your booking, with the remainder of the payment made on the day of the booking. This ensures availability for the client’s event, and compensates for any last-minute cancellations or no-shows. The exact deposit amount and payment schedule will be outlined in the booking contract.

Vin recommends that clients prep their skin by cleansing, toning, moisturising, and applying eye cream before she arrives. It’s also best to wash your hair the day before the event instead of on the same day, as freshly washed hair can be difficult to style.

Ensure there is a clear and uninterrupted space that Vin can work in. Vin will need access to a chair, mirror and plug points. Getting ready where there is the most natural light is preferred.

The difference in price arises due to a few factors.
