Question 1

Are travel fees included in package pricing?

Accepted Answer

Travel is not included in package pricing. Because every wedding location is different, travel is calculated separately based on distance and logistics. All travel fees will be discussed and confirmed up front so you know exactly what to expect with no surprises.

Question 2

Do I have to book a trial before securing my wedding date?

Accepted Answer

Trials are highly encouraged but not required to reserve your date. If you prefer to have a trial before committing, the standalone trial is $200. Once you decide to book, the difference between your trial and your selected bridal package will be applied to your final invoice.

Question 3

Do you require a contract and retainer?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A signed contract and retainer are required to officially reserve your wedding date. Trials alone do not hold or guarantee your date until the contract is completed.

Question 4

How far in advance should I book my wedding hair and makeup?

Accepted Answer

Most brides book 8–18 months in advance, especially for peak seasons (spring and fall). Booking early ensures availability for both your preview appointment and the getting-ready timeline you need for your big day.

Question 5

Can your team accommodate large bridal parties?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. I work with a team of licensed professionals, each with 10+ years of individual experience, so we can accommodate large parties efficiently. Once we know your headcount and ready-by time, we’ll build a custom timeline to ensure everyone is photo-ready on schedule.

Question 6

Can I book hair without makeup, or makeup without hair?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All services can be booked individually or together. You can choose exactly what you need for yourself and your bridal party.

Question 7

What happens if I decide not to book after my trial?

Accepted Answer

No problem at all. The trial is a standalone appointment, and you’re not obligated to book wedding-day services. Your $200 trial fee covers the appointment only and does not secure your date unless you choose to book and complete a contract.

Question 8

Do you travel on-site for weddings?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I provide on-site beauty services. Travel fees vary based on location and will be discussed during booking so there are never any surprises.

Question 9

How long does wedding-day hair and/or makeup usually take?

Accepted Answer

Bride services typically take 60–90 minutes per service, depending on the look. Bridal-party services usually take 35–60 minutes per person. Your personalized timeline ensures everyone is finished before your “ready-by” time.

Question 10

Do you offer early morning appointments?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Early start times are available and common for wedding mornings. Depending on the time, an early-morning fee may apply, which will be clarified during booking.

Question 11

What kind of lashes do you use?

Accepted Answer

I provide strip or cluster lashes—whichever best fits your eye shape and desired look. I do not offer lash extensions, but my application techniques are designed to give a long-lasting, comfortable, natural or glam finish.

Question 12

What should I do to prepare for my hair and makeup trial?

Accepted Answer

I recommend bringing any inspiration photos, wearing a similar top color to your wedding attire, arriving with a clean, makeup-free face, and clean, fully dry hair. These help us get the most accurate and polished preview of your wedding-day look. You’ll also receive a detailed prep guide before both your trial and your wedding day, so you’ll know exactly how to prepare for the best results.

Question 13

What if someone in my bridal party has very curly, textured, or thick hair?

Accepted Answer

No worries at all. I specialize in all hair types, including curly and textured hair. If additional time is needed for a specific style, I’ll make sure it’s accounted for in your timeline.

Question 14

Do you stay for touch-ups after everyone is ready?

Accepted Answer

I can! Touch-up time, photo changes, and look transitions are available as an add-on. Many brides choose this for peace of mind during photos.
