Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT BRANDS OF MAKEUP AND HAIR PRODUCTS DO YOU USE?
All the hair and makeup products that we use are professional brands that were designed to give long lasting results and photograph amazing. They are bought through professional retailers and some brands can only be found in specialty stores. Example of some of my favorite go-to brands we use are MAC, Makeup Forever, NARS, Laura Mercier & Charlotte Tilbury.
What kind preparation is needed for my makeup and hair service appointment?
Makeup - Please arrive with your face fully washed without any added product-including moisturizer. We recommend the week leading into your event that you use a daily cleanser, moisturizer and EXFOLIATE (this will get rid of most dry patches). Feel free to book a facial with me a week prior to your wedding date to help prepare your skin to look its best on the day of your event.
Hair - We provide one dry style for your event. We do not blow dry or straighten your hair. Please arrive with your hair fully dry/blow dryed. If you have coily hair and the style you chose is smooth we suggest you also straighten it beforehand. If the style you are choosing is to use your own curls then you can come with it natural.
Do you provide a timeline?
Yes we do, it will help organize your wedding day for all your beauty needs. The timeline is an estimate per service. Meaning we add additional time per service because each person and makeup and/or hair style can range between 30-50 minutes. Bridal is between 45 minutes- 1hr 15minutes. We also like to add a buffer time at the end for touch ups.
.
DO YOU USE AIRBRUSH MAKEUP
No, airbrush tends to streak down the face with tears, so especially for brides, I will not do airbrush.The foundation I use is professional grade and will look better than airbrush.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I CRY/SWEAT?
Don't worry, everything we use for weddings is water resistant or waterproof, from the foundation to the mascara. Simply dab your eyes or forehead with a tissue if need be.
HOW LONG WILL MY MAKEUP LAST?
Traditional makeup lasts up to 24 hours before needing touch ups, depending on your skin type. We have never had anyone say it didn't last so I know it will stand up in any weather. We have done many brides at 6 in the morning and their makeup is perfect until the end of their reception. Of course, you will have your touch up kit with the essentials you need depending on your skin type.
HOW DO YOU KEEP YOUR PRODUCTS SANITARY?
It’s very important to make sure that the person you hire for your hair and makeup is sanitary. We have been professionally trained to know how to keep everything clean and sanitary. We will have clean brushes, and a tidy makeup kit. We always begin applying makeup using cleaned and disinfected brushes and products. Our brushes are cleaned before each work day and cleaned with antibacterial brush cleaner between clients. All eyeshadows, eye/lip liners and along with other makeup products we use are disinfected with 99% hospital grade alcohol sanitizer between usages as well.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE YOU TO DO EACH SERVICE?
Approximately 1 hour for hair & makeup per person.
.
WHEN SHOULD I SCHEDULE A TRIAL RUN FOR MY WEDDING?
Schedule your trial approximately 1 -2 months before the wedding because your style may change if you book it too far in advance from the wedding. I always suggest putting down your deposit to hold your wedding date before the trial, and doing the trial closer to the wedding date.
IS A RETAINER OR CONTRACT REQUIRED TO HOLD MY WEDDING OR EVENT DATE?
Yes, a signed contract and a 30% retainer from the total amount due on your event day is required to reserve your date. Be advised that no date will be reserved until the contract has been signed and the retainer has been paid. The retainer is non-refundable and non-transferable.
WHAT METHODS OF PAYMENT DO YOU ACCEPT?
We accept Credit/Debit (3% CC tax will be added) and Venmo & Cash App for no additional fee.
