Hi there does anyone take a deposit with a party booking? i just think if they cancel and you have turned down work because of a party, would it be ideal to take a deposit nd if anyone does how much do you take. cheers

Hi, I take a £25 non refunable deposit.

I agree. . Definately take a deposit around £25. . Especially if it is a large tanning party as sometimes you might have to order extra solution in! I once had a party cancelled but luckily I took a deposit and was able to fit other clients in! Especially as it is the busy period. . . It makes you sound more professional too! Give a receipt though!

Hiya, I take a £5 deposit per person for parties, and also for very busy times like Christmas week, Ascot week and next week which is prom week. The only reason I would not refund the deposit is if the client/party cancelled on the same day (and I've never had to keep a deposit yet).
