The following details Privé Hair & Makeup terms and conditions for our mobile hair and makeup services.
During Your Hair and Makeup Service
We base our prices on hair length – In the instance our team member arrives, and the hair is not as expected you may be charged from the card provided the difference in cost for hair length. This applies to hair extensions. Additional payment can be paid directly to your artist or Privé will issue an additional invoice for the additional amount due.
Our dry styling option requires all clients to have dry and smooth hair. If you have extremely curly to frizzy/coarse hair you may need to straighten the hair after its dry, prior to the staff member arriving. If they are required to dry/smooth over/straighten the hair prior to putting in the curls or starting the service an additional fee of $50 will apply, this may be taken from the card you made payment with or given to your attending artist.
If you have any questions or queries on our terms and conditions, please check out our FAQs or email us at enquiries@privehairaustralia.com

Until we receive your deposit, the date is still available for someone else to book. Once the deposit has been paid, you are agreeing to the terms and conditions of your quote.
Bookings that are cancelled or re-scheduled outside of 30 days will receive a credit, valid for 12 months and redeemable in any state and location.
Appointments cancelled or rescheduled within 30 days will forfeit the deposit.
Any invoices or services which are left unpaid will be forwarded to a third party for collection after 30 days. All costs associated with collection will be incurred by the customer.

In-room bookings made with our nationwide hotel partners will be required to make a payment of 30% to secure the booking of their services.
Cancellations outside of 48 hours will receive a credit valid for 12 months & redeemable at any location nationwide. Cancellations within 48 hours or ‘No shows’ will forfeit their deposit.
In the unlikely event Privé is unable to fulfil the ‘in-room’ service a full refund of the deposit will be provided.
When is the balance due?
The balance is due 1 week prior to service being performed – Should no payment be received we have the right to cancel all services and the deposit will be forfeited.
Bookings made within 7 days of the appointment date will be required to pay the full balance upfront.
If you change your booking
After paying your deposit – If you decide to change the date of your service, provided the deposit has been paid and received and you request the changes a minimum of 30 days before your original booking, amendments can be made without further cost. Services can be modified within 30 days, however, we uphold a strict 2-service minimum for all appointments.
If no member of our team is available for your re-booked date then a credit will be given.
If due to staff has to Isolate due to COVID or in the unlikely event that we, as a team, cannot attend on the day of your service due to unforeseen and unfortunate events or circumstances, all payments will be immediately refunded (including deposit and trial fees). We will work with you to find an alternative reputable stylist/artist or salon to cater for your requirements however; any such booking will remain solely the responsibility of yourself. If one of our team is unable to attend on the day, due to illness or unforeseen circumstances, we will immediately try to find an alternative freelance stylist/artist to stand in. If this is not possible we will refund services, which are forfeited in part, or altogether, as a result. No further compensation will be offered. If a member of our team is made to feel uncomfortable in any way, or mistreated, or if anyone becomes abusive/violent or displays any offensive behaviour, we have the right to cancel the contract without refund. In the event of extreme weather conditions where the ‘Met Office’ has issued a ‘Red’ warning, we reserve the right to cancel your booking due to unsafe travel conditions to your location. We will refund all monies as a gesture of goodwill.
Travel fee
Travel expenses start from $50 & will be calculated depending on how many stylists you require and the distance the stylists will need to travel to your location from Melbourne/Sydney/Brisbane/Adelaide/Perth CBD.
For Rural bookings, Travel fees are calculated at $1.50 per minute from the CBD
You will be expected to cover all costs for hotel accommodation where it is not practical for a stylist/artist to travel on the day of your service i.e. limited time available, or severe weather conditions have been forecast.
Early mornings
Our normal operating hours are from 7 am however we understand sometimes an earlier start time is required! Being bright-eyed and bushy-tailed at the crack of dawn is kind of our thing.
For services, weddings or events with an arrival time of earlier than 7 am, the following “Early Bird” fee will apply:
$50 Per Makeup Artist / Hair Stylist.
Liability
All brushes, tools, and makeup products are sanitized between every makeup application. Makeup products used are hypoallergenic. Any allergies and/or skin conditions should be reported by the client to the makeup artist prior to application and, if need be, a sample test of makeup may be performed on the skin to test reaction.
Allergies and hygiene

This is a precaution taken in order to ensure non-contamination of the stylist’s kit and brushes, despite the fact all items are sanitized between clients.
