Q: When should I book my trial run? 
A:  If you are wanting a trial run to see if I am the right fit for you, please do so asap as there are no holds on wedding dates. If you are wanting to book so that we have a planned look for the wedding day, I suggest booking at least two months prior to the wedding.
Most of my brides book their trial run the same day they book with their photographer for bridal portraits or even engagement pictures. I have all of this and more on the inquiry info and/or the hair & makeup appt info I will send to you via email.

Q: Is the trial mandatory to book with you? 
A. No, the trial is not mandatory. I do this incase some of my brides are on a budget. This way the bride can opt out if she wants, or use it as an add-on. HOWEVER, I do strongly suggest booking a trial run so that you and I are on the same page with the look you are trying to achieve and it will make the wedding day move along faster. 

Q: How do I schedule a trial with you? 
A. Please fill out the bridal request form so I can get more details from you, including your wedding date, and at the bottom let me know you are interested in booking a trial with me first before booking. Trial runs are not included in bridal pricing. The pricing for trial runs are the same pricing as each service listed. Same amount of work and time so the cost is the same.
A small non-refundable deposit will be required to book any appointments and will go towards your total. I will email you more detailed info.

Q: Can I book more than one trial or appointment with you before the wedding?
A: My brides can book as many appointments/trials as they would like. Especially if you decide you'd like to try a different look before your big day. I will, however, always charge a small deposit to book, but it will go towards your total the day of.

Q: Do you also offer hair services such as cut & color?
A: Yes, I do. During the week, I am a full-time cosmetologist with a clientele. I do this wedding business on the side.

Q: What is your travel/set up fee?
A: My travel/set up fee is based off mileage to and from location. I will need to know the exact address of the location I will be traveling to for services to offer an accurate travel quote. 

Q: Do you include lashes in your pricing? 
A: Yes. All pricing is with or without lashes. You are welcome to bring your own as well. 

Q: Can I bring my own makeup for you to use? 
A: The makeup I use for clients is professional grade created to withstand weather, sweat, and water. However, if there is a particular product(s) you are much more comfortable using & you know works best for you, feel free to bring it.

Q: How far in advance should I book my wedding?
A: I now book all wedding services up to 1 year in advance. Currently, I am booking all of 2024/2025 dates. Please check my availability calendar on the home page to see if your date is available.

Q: How do I go ahead and book you for my wedding? 
A: First, check to see if your date is available on the calendar on the home page. Then, I will need more details from you as described on my bridal services page. Fill out the bridal request form and I will email you more info about my pricing, etc. All wedding dates are first come, first served. I will respond to you asap.

Q: Do you offer airbrush makeup?
A: I do not offer airbrush makeup. After using an airbrush machine for quite some time, I realized it never gave me the coverage I needed in the time I needed because it is a finer, thinner product. It's extremely hard to retouch airbrush makeup as well. Makeup has evolved more than ever since airbrush was discovered. I think a true artist knows what products to use, how to blend/apply/set, and how to mix foundations accordingly to give the feel of lightweight coverage that will last all day. 

Q: What makeup brands do you use? 
A: I use a variety of different brands from low-end to high-end. I have specific products that I like from specific brands that I trust will make you look amazing and will last all day. I have also been doing this long enough to know what products work the best and what do not. All products are sweat proof, 24 hour wear, and transfer resistant. All have been tested in performance and have been photography tested as well. Ex: Makeup Up Forever, Becca, Ben Nye, Laura Mercier, Morphe, Nyx, and a lot more. 

Q: How far in advance should I book skincare and/or waxing services? 
A: Please book all skincare and all facial waxing services at least 1-2 weeks before your wedding day.

Q: Can I book you for just one service and hire another artist separately? 
A: Absolutely! I offer both services as a perk to my brides so that they don't have to hire a second artist if the bridal party is smaller. I have been hired for just hair and I have been hired for just makeup. 

Q: Do you travel long distances? 
A: I do! Depending on times and other factors, I usually will require a one night stay prior to the wedding so we can start early in the morning and a travel fee. All of this will be determined after I have more details about what you are needing. 

Q: I have a fairly large bridal party in need of services. How many can you handle on your own? 
A: Unfortunately, this question is not easy to answer without specific details. It depends on SO many things, start times, finish times, hairstyles. etc. In order for me to correctly answer this question, I'll need for you to fill out the form I will send you through email so I can get more details from you and then determine what I am able to offer for your specific day.
In my personal opinion, if you have a bridal party of 5+ wanting hair and makeup, typically for most stylists and time limits, it is much easier for the bride to hire someone for hair and someone for makeup separately. This is because all of us stylists/artists have many different requirements and policies, such as cancellation policies, different deposit requirements, etc. By hiring them separately and securing your spot with a contract and/or deposit, the bride can have more reassurance that the stylist will show up to do the work rather than being hired through a third party.

Q: What time do you like to start your bridal parties? 
A. Typically, I like to start as early as 7:30am. (Anything earlier may acquire an added fee). This depends on how many services are needed as well as other things. I know that is early, however, I don't have to have everyone there at once, I only need one person there to start. Starting early helps incase something happens to cause delays, it keeps us ahead of schedule so that everyone is getting the amount of get ready time they are paying for. Touch ups are always provided at then end of services as well. 

Q: My venue won't allow us to be there that early? What could I do?
A. Based off experience, I do know there are a lot of venues that won't let bridal parties or vendors in until a certain time and that cuts down the amount of time to get ready. Because of this, it could cause you to have to hire another artist or stylist to help with time. Some other ideas are to get ready at someone's house and then go to the venue, slip on their dress there, and then do pictures. I have even had some book a VRBO or a AirBNB to get ready at as well that way everyone can stay together the night before and then are ready for the stylists when they show up that morning.  

Q: Is it okay to possibly start later? 
A. Of course! However, because that will shorten the time available for me to get all of the services done (depending on your specific situation) you may have to hire a second artist/stylist. So just keep that in mind. I can help you decide that after I get all of your specific details. 

Q: Can you travel to two separate locations in one day? 
A. I can, however, expect to pay extra travel/set up fees as well as cutting down the amount of time to get everyone ready to spare the room to break my things down and travel then set up again. It's a lot of work so I definitely charge for it.

Q: Will my makeup last all day? 
A. Makeup sits on people skin differently. I set my makeup in a way for it to last many hours of the day & have yet to have any real complaints about it. However, I don't have control over what you do or what happens after I finish your makeup. I do offer touch up kits for purchase on the day of.

Q: How can I get more info about my specific wedding and your booking requirements? 
A. First, check to see if your date is available on the on page calendar, then click the "bridal request form tab" and fill out the form as much as you can. The more details the better! You will get a automated response letter email letting you know I have received your inquiry and I will email you back asap. Please double check your junk and spam mail. 

Q: How do I finalize my booking with you?
A: At this point, we should have finalized the details of your agreement through email. Once you are ready to book, please let me know and I will forward you your contract and deposit invoice. My contract will come from a sign website for easy fill-in & my invoice for your deposit will come from PayPal for easy payment. 
Once both are received, you will get a text confirmation letting you know your date is secured & I will text you personally as well. 
 
Q: What forms of payment do you accept? 
A.  For the day of, the bridal party can pay a few different ways. I accept all forms of payment except checks. I have Venmo, Cash App, Paypal, Apple Pay, Zelle, and card, I just charge the processing fee. 

Q: What is the best way to keep in contact with you?
A. I like to stay in contact via email only until the bride has been fully booked, then we can exchange numbers. The reasons I do this is it's a lot easier for me to keep everything organized, I can easily look back to our conversations, I tend to deal with a lot of different brides, but I also like to have everything exchanged in writing. I also am a hairstylist so my regular clients contact me through phone and it's hard to have everything mixed up. I try to keep both things separated.

Q: Do you have a team or assistants?
A. I don't! Unfortunately, this has been really hard for me to find for many reasons. However, I do know of many other great artists and stylists in the area. Unfortunately, my recommendation list will not be provided unless the bride has already booked me. 

Q: Do you provide touch up kits with your services?
A. I used to include them with my services, however, they took a lot of time to prepare and I felt 80% the time, the girls didn't use them. So now, I offer nicer ones with more samples & products for a small fee. They can be purchased the day of the wedding.

Q: What is your availability for wedding bookings? 
A. I am available for wedding bookings any day of the week/weekend. Saturdays are the most popular wedding days, so if you are wanting a Saturday wedding, I wouldn't hesitate to book it.
