Of course, you want your Glam Squad!
It’s your big day! After hours and hours of research you’ve found the one! She is free on your wedding date, and she sends you a contract and you’re ready to simply sign away. Do you? Of course not! First make sure you know what you are signing!
Scope Of Services And Charges For Them
If packages are referred to make sure it is incorporated into the contract, if not make sure the details are set forth. Who is to get services, i.e. the bride and how many bridesmaids or others. What is the charge for each and what is included and what is excluded. Make sure the charge for each is clearly noted.
Deposits and When Final Payment is due and how it is to be paid
More than any other vendor rarely are deposits refundable here under any condition.
It is important to know when Final Payment is due and how it is to be paid. Often hair and makeup artists want cash or certified checks on the day of the wedding, but before services start.

Additional Contract Provisions
1. Non-Transferrable
Make sure that your artist cannot have someone else simply fulfill the ocntrcat. You probably picked a specific person or company and are copunting on them work their artistry, not someone else.
Cancellation/Liquidated Damages Clause.
Like other vendors, these artists will include cancellation clauses and provide what is often called a “liquidated damage” clause. “Liquidated damages” clauses try to set in advance an amount one party will pay to the other if something is cancelled in lieu of leaving open what should be paid.
Changes in Number of Makeovers and Artists required.
Like other vendors, artists want to guarantee they will make a minimum amount and to approve any changes.
Extra services requested by persons receiving services.
Let’s say one of your bridesmaids wants her eyebrows shaped, needs hair extensions put in or some other service that is not included. Many artists will provide them. Just make sure the contract notes what these services are, what the process is, who can authorize them and when and how they are paid for.
How people getting the services should arrive for their session.
Nothing will throw off an artist’s schedule more than people showing up for their session in an unexpected manner. One of your bridesmaids had a late night and shows up in full makeup and needs her hair extensions removed. Another has a turtleneck on and didn’t think to bring any change of clothes
Travel Fees.
More than any other vendor you will see makeup and hair people charge extra for their travel to where their services are being provided. If a separate charge is included, make sure it is very specific.
Agreement to use of freelance professional makeup artists.
Often you are hiring a specific individual makeup artist or hair stylist, but it’s obvious that as one person they could not handle everyone alone.
Photography.
Beautiful brides are the calling cards for these artists and what better way to show off your work than by having images of brides you actually performed services for. As such, most artists try to reserve the right to take pictures and use these images in their businesses.
Liability of Artist.
These tend to be typical clauses where they exempt themselves from all sorts of liability. Much of this is understandable. It may include provisions for what happens if the specific individual isn’t available, or for unforeseen circumstances.
