Payments
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I PAY MY DEPOSIT?
- Clients will receive 2 emails: 1) The first email is an automated email receipt that is generated after a deposit payment on FaceCandyStudio.com. 2) The second email is a manual email filled with appointment details and balance information, sent within 4 days after booking. Once the 1st email is received, the appointment has been reserved.
WHERE DO I PAY MY BALANCE?
- The remaining balance is due via Zelle Banking App. First, enter “facecandystudio@gmail.com” to locate the business or owner name. Second, enter your remaining balance as indicated above or on the invoice you received after booking. Third, enter the full name of original buyer or the order number in the memo.
WHAT IF I DO NOT HAVE OR USE ZELLE BANKING APP?
- There are other non credit card payment options available for both U.S. and Non U.S. clients. DM or WhatsApp the Face Candy Studio team prior to booking.
WHAT IF I MISS MY BALANCE PAYMENT DEADLINE?
- It is the client’s responsibility to abide by the assigned balance payment due date. If the deadline is missed, Face Candy Studio has the right to apply a late fee to the balance payment, or cancel the carnival makeup appointment entirely.
CAN I SELL OR TRANSFER MY APPOINTMENT TO SOMEONE ELSE?
- Sure. A transferred appointment means that the balance for the original makeup appointment is going to to be paid in advance (to Face Candy Studio) by either the original customer OR the new customer. It is the responsibility of the original customer to figure out that detail. Also, the name on the original appointment stays intact. Therefore, on carnival day, the new customer should have two things to enter the salon successfully: 1) The full name of the original customer, and 2) A forwarded Face Candy Studio email from the original customer confirming that the balance payment was received.
WHAT IS YOUR REFUND POLICY?
- All makeup deposits are final and are forfeited if a client is unable to make the appointment under any circumstance. Exceptions are made if a carnival is canceled citywide 7 or more days in advanced. Now, if a client has an unfavorable experience, and Face Candy Studio is unable to correct it on the same day, then a store credit would be issued to the client.
