Policies for Makeup Classes & Events

At Image By Lisa, we aim to provide every client with exceptional service and a memorable experience. To maintain fairness and accommodate all bookings efficiently, we ask for your understanding of the following policies.

 

Late Policy for Hosts and Guests

We understand that delays can happen, but due to the nature of our scheduling, punctuality is key to ensuring a smooth experience for everyone. Please note the following:

 

Party Stop Time

The party stop time is established when the host books the event. If the party starts late due to late arrivals, the stop time will remain unchanged to avoid impacting other scheduled events.

 

Late Arrival for the Host

• If the host arrives late, it will result in a delayed start to the party. This can create a domino effect, impacting guests scheduled after your event.

• Artists may need to shorten the party experience to accommodate other events and ensure fairness to all customers.

• Extended staff time or time overage charges may apply if the delay exceeds the scheduled stop time.

 

Late Arrival for Guests

We kindly ask all guests to arrive on time. Late arrivals may miss part of the experience, as our events run on a fixed schedule.

• To maintain the flow of activities, late guests will be accommodated as best as possible within the remaining scheduled time.

 

Time Overage Policy

• Grace Period: We offer a complimentary 30-minute grace period beyond the scheduled end time of your session.

• Additional Time Charges: After the 30-minute grace period, a charge of $75 per additional 30 minutes will be applied. Time is rounded to the nearest half-hour.

 

Why We Charge for Overage Time

• Room Preparation: After each session, we need time to clean, reset, and sanitize the space for the next client or event.

• Peak Time Management: Many events occur on our busiest days, so timely transitions ensure all clients can enjoy their full scheduled experience.

• Staffing Costs: Extending your session requires our team to stay longer, often beyond their scheduled hours.

• Closing Time Impacts: If your event runs close to or past our normal closing time, it delays staff from leaving on time.

 

Advance Notice Discount

If you anticipate needing extra time, it can be pre-purchased at a discounted rate of $50 per 30 minutes when arranged before your event date.

 

Party Cancellation Policy

We understand that life happens, and unexpected events such as emergencies, illness, or natural disasters can occasionally disrupt plans. While deposits are non-refundable, they may be applied as a credit for future use. We are committed to approaching these situations with flexibility and understanding when evaluating additional cancellation fees. Exceptions will be reviewed thoughtfully on a case-by-case basis. Thank you for your trust and cooperation.

 

Cancellations Less Than 5 Days Prior

Events canceled less than 5 days before the scheduled date will be responsible for $250 cancellation fee, automatically charged to the card on file.

 

No-Show Policy

If no one from your group arrives for your scheduled session, the same $250 fee will be charged.

 

Why We Charge a Cancellation Fee

• Artist Availability: Once a party is booked, our makeup artists are blocked from accepting other clients during that time, which are often on our busiest days.

• Lost Opportunities: Last-minute cancellations mean lost opportunities to fill the slot with other clients or events.

• Preparation Costs: Significant time and effort go into preparing for your event, including product setups, staffing coordination, and customized planning.

 

How to Reschedule or Cancel

If you need to reschedule or cancel your event, please contact us as early as possible. Events canceled more than 5 days in advance OR due to emergency situations, can be rescheduled or refunded, minus the $250 deposit, which is non-refundable but can be applied toward a future event or as store credit.

 

These policies ensure that we can provide the best possible experience for every client while respecting the time and effort of our team. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
