Booking terms
Last updated 21 September 2026
The short version. A R1 000 non-refundable deposit secures a wedding date. Travel is R8 per kilometre return from Hillcrest. We start at the agreed time so that everyone is ready when they need to be.
Securing your date
- Your date is only held once the deposit is paid. Until then it stays open to other enquiries.
- Weddings need a R1 000 non-refundable deposit, which comes off your final amount.
- Matric dances and events do not need a deposit.
- [CONFIRM] The balance is due [when Tanita wants it paid].
Prices and travel
- Hair and makeup are separate services and are priced per person.
- Prices are the same for 2026 and 2027 bookings.
- Travel is R8 per kilometre, return, calculated from Hillcrest, and is added to your quote.
- Your quote is based on the number of services you confirm. Extra people on the day can only be added if there is time.
Trials
- A trial is recommended but never required.
- Trials cost R1 500 and cover hair and makeup.
- Trials usually happen four to six weeks before the wedding.
- If you choose not to have one, I will make sure you are happy with your look on the day before I leave.
Timing on the day
A schedule is what keeps a wedding morning calm, so we need to start at the time we agreed. I am not responsible for delays caused by you, your party or other vendors.
- If the start is delayed, I adjust the services and the number of faces at my discretion, so that you are still ready on time.
- Services that cannot be done because of a delayed schedule are not refunded or discounted.
- I leave once the agreed services are finished, as set out in your timeline.
What I need from you
- A table and chair near a plug point, with a mirror and good light.
- Everyone with a clean face, no makeup on, and contacts already in.
- Clean, dry hair, washed the night before rather than on the morning.
Cancellations and changes
- Deposits are non-refundable, including if the booking is cancelled or the date changes.
- [CONFIRM] Moving a date depends on availability. [Tanita to confirm how she handles date changes.]
- [CONFIRM] Cancelling close to the date. [Tanita to confirm whether a balance is still payable, and from when.]
- If I ever have to cancel for reasons beyond my control, such as illness or an emergency, I will help you find a replacement artist and refund anything you have paid for services not rendered.
Photos
I may photograph my work on the day for my portfolio and social media. Tell me if you would rather I did not, and that is completely fine. Photos of you are only shared publicly with your permission.
