General FAQ
Q: Do you do hair and makeup for events other than weddings?
A: Yes! We do many other events, such as prom, graduation, engagements, and any other events you may be attending. Shoot us with your event date and time here to see if we’re available. Additionally, all event pricing is available here.
Q: Do you do airbrush makeup?
A: Yes. There is an additional $30 surcharge added if you desire airbrush makeup.
Please note that airbrush makeup needs to be applied to smooth, moisturized, hair-free skin. If you have any facial hair or a dry flaky complexion, it will adhere to the hair and flakes off, making it more visible. For skin that is not completely clear, we recommend traditional makeup.
Most important factor, bad news for those who are a little more tear-prone (no shame!). If you end up crying and your makeup streaks, it's difficult to fill those spots in with more airbrushing or even regular makeup, making it a lot harder to re-create your original, flawless look.
Q: So what is the process like, and how early should I book?
A: Once availability has been confirmed, a trial can be arranged based on a mutually convenient time between you and your stylist. Your appointment is booked and finalized only when we receive the signed contract and your $400 deposit. You can book as early or as late as you want, but we recommend doing it as soon as you make the decision so we can save the date & time for you.
We suggest booking your trial session at least 3-6 months before your wedding, and booking your wedding day services at least 6-12 months before the big day. Your deposit is refundable up to one (2) months prior to your wedding date, less any services or expenses incurred.
Q: What kind of products do you use on your clients?
A: We use a variety of luxury cosmetics brands including Estee Lauder, M.A.C, Urban Decay, Stila, Bobbi Brown, Smashbox, Christian Dior, YSL, as well as some of you might not recognize that are formulated for HD Film and TV. We only use the best products: if we wouldn’t put it on our skin, we won’t put it on yours.
Q: Do you have an early morning fee? When does the early morning fee apply?
A: The early morning fee applies for any service requiring an arrival time prior to 6:00 am.
