No, I personally only specialize in makeup, however I do have some really good recommendations for hair
I am an LA Based MUA but will travel anywhere and everywhere outside of LA, when booking outside of LA I require airfare to be compensated a maximum of $300 will be charged anything over I will cover the rest on my behalf anything under I will refund.
Yes, as a professional it it my responsibility to know how to skin match everyone and understand color theory.
My rates are based off my experience within the industry and training Ive received. My rates vary depending on the services you are looking for.
If you decide to book me out of state or country, I will fly out a few days before your wedding and provide the trail service before your wedding, brides typically do their trials for their rehearsal.
Yes I charge for all the above depending on the locations of my clients i require a flat traveling fee based off distance from location to where I will provide the services, for hotel and airfare accommodations I do my research in hopes to find the most affordable place for me to stay and fly however for Denver brides I am originally from their so I have family I will stay so no need unless its its further than 2 hours from the city limits.
As of now its just me.
Yes at this time if booking with a bridal party i require a minimum of 3 I do have a maximum amount of services though which is 6, at this time I am prioritizing working with just the bride only however if you are wanting a few services for your family I am more than happy to accommodate.
Yes of course I do, Brides who personally just book a 1 on 1 experience tend to have a longer and more relaxing service to start the day and feel pampered a lot of my Brides prefer this 1 on 1 experience. Brides who book a 1 on 1 will get an additional add on services unlike booking with a bridal party.
I am truly blessed to be where I am at right now in my career, as of now i have brides booking a year to 2 years out. However those who book that far in advance typically are getting married on the most popular dates. I also do book on a first come first serve basis as well.
Yes as like most vendors I require a retainer fee and contract due at the same time in order to secure your date. Unlike most vendors my retainer is 50% + any other adds on like trials and accommodations, all deposits and payments are non-refundable unless I cancel on my behalf.
If a bride is booking a 1 on 1 service with my services length will vary depending on the complexity of the look average anywhere between 2.5H-3H, if booking booking with a bridal party ea. guest will receive an hour service and the bride 1.5H
Always let your me know ahead of time so products can be adjusted.
For 1 on 1 services for the brides I typically go in with a facial cleansing, face mask, facial contouring tools, and skin prep before I complete the makeup services, lashes will always be included with every service, as well as a touch up kit.
Your best bet is to get hair done first always. That way if your planning on wanting getting ready photos half the glam is done, and that your not wearing makeup to early beofre your event its nice and fresh before you leave.

    AMAZING

    I was lucky enough to work with Josiah and Paige for my wedding in February and they were outright amazing. I had zero issues working with them. I don't mean that in a way where there were small things I didn't like but looked over-NO. I truly had zero issues with both of them or any of the people on their team for the day of hair and make up services. Before my big day, I booked two separate hair and make up trials where I asked for completely different things and at either trials they both arrived on time and did exactly the look I asked for. Then, the WEEKEND OF my wedding I realized I couldn't exactly pick between the two different looks and I humbly asked if Josiah could somehow combine the two looks from my trials for a "soft glam" look and he delivered. I have never felt so pretty. Same exact situation with my hair. Josiah and Paige were so patient and friendly and kind! There team worked quickly and efficiently on the day of my wedding to do hair and make up for most of my bridal party plus my mother and my mother in law- and a surprise person who changed her mind from doing her own make up to asking for it done! We even got little personalized touch up kits to reapply any lipstick or pin up any additional hair. I highly highly recommend this team of amazing professionals. I never leave review s for anything but they all should be recognized for their dedicated work. Thank you forever to this team, specifically Josiah and Paige who helped me look and feel so beautiful on my special day.

    Awaken Beauty: Luxury Makeup & Hair Services was an absolute dream to work with for my wedding day. From their responsive, attentive, and knowledgeable communication style, to the flawless, beautiful, and creative quality of their work, this team exceeded all of my expectations. The makeup artist Josiah made me feel like a total queen, and ended up saving the day by playing a huge role in making my wedding vision a reality. As a makeup artist myself, I'm very picky about my look, but Josiah listened closely to my preferences and delivered a stunning, customized look that made me feel confident and comfortable. I wish he could have attended my whole wedding! I would 10000% recommend Awaken Beauty to any couple looking for a luxury beauty team that will go above and beyond.
