Know Before You Book

Booking Policies

Transparency and professionalism are at the heart of my work. Please review the following guidelines before securing your appointment.

01

Booking & Advance

  • All bookings are confirmed only after a non-refundable advance payment is received.
  • Your date is not reserved until the advance is paid. Verbal confirmations or DM inquiries alone do not secure a booking.
  • Advance amount will be communicated at the time of inquiry and depends on the service package selected.
  • Payment can be made via bank transfer or JazzCash/EasyPaisa. Details will be shared upon confirmation.
02

Trials & Consultations

  • Bridal trials are available and charged separately from the final day booking.
  • Trials must be booked at least 2–3 weeks before your event date to allow time for adjustments.
  • A trial is recommended for all bridal clients to finalize the desired look, colour palette, and styling preferences.
  • Consultation via DM or call is available free of charge before booking.
03

Cancellation & Rescheduling

  • Cancellations made less than 48 hours before the appointment will result in forfeiture of the advance.
  • Rescheduling is subject to availability and must be requested at least 72 hours in advance.
  • No-shows without prior communication will forfeit the full advance amount.
  • In case of emergencies, please communicate as early as possible and accommodations will be made where feasible.
04

On the Day of Your Appointment

  • Please arrive with a clean, moisturised face — free of any base makeup or heavy skincare products.
  • Wear a front-open or button-down top to avoid disturbing your makeup when changing into your outfit.
  • Share reference photos or Pinterest boards in advance so the look can be prepared beforehand.
  • Arrive on time. Late arrivals may result in a rushed service or reduced session time.
  • Studio is home-based in Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Karachi. Exact location is shared after booking confirmation.
05

Pricing & Packages

  • Prices vary based on the type of service, event, and complexity of the look.
  • Bridal packages may include multiple events (Nikkah + Barat + Walima). Custom packages are available on request.
  • Group bookings for bridesmaids or family members are welcome and may qualify for discounted rates.
  • Remaining balance is to be paid on the day of the appointment, before the session begins.
  • Rates are shared via Instagram DM upon inquiry. Please message with your event date and service needed.
06

Content & Photography

  • The artist reserves the right to photograph the final look for portfolio and social media purposes.
  • If you prefer your photos not to be shared publicly, please inform the artist before the session.
  • Clients are welcome to share their photos and tag @makeupbymanalkhan on Instagram.
07

Skin Sensitivity & Allergies

  • Please inform the artist of any skin allergies, sensitivities, or medical conditions before the session.
  • All products used are professional-grade and skin-safe, however individual reactions cannot be guaranteed.
  • A patch test can be arranged upon request during the trial session.

Policies are subject to updates. For the latest information, always reach out via Instagram DM at @makeupbymanalkhan.
