Wedding Hair & Make Up FAQ
​
What is the wedding hair and makeup booking process?
We highly recommends booking 6-12 months in advance so you can secure your artist/stylist for your day. Ask us all of your questions and make sure to request a phone call if it will help! Our team of makeup artists and hair stylists want to make sure you feel confident in us. It takes a $100 initial, non-refundable retainer to secure your day. Once you sign your contract and place your retainer, you are officially booked!
I’m not sure of my exact headcount at the moment. Can I still book now?
No problem! We don’t require a final headcount until 6 months before your wedding. To book, we need to make sure you have a minimum of 4 ladies per stylist needed, whether its hair or makeup. If you are booking after that timeframe- we can work with you to get your final numbers and your stylist/artist assigned.
When should I schedule my wedding hair and makeup trial?
We highly recommend scheduling your trial approximately 2-3 months prior to your wedding. Our artists want you to have a fresh picture of your look and still be in love on your day. Our team prefers for you to have most of your wedding details lined up at that point so we can give you the best vision of your bridal beauty. Are you wearing a veil? Our team wants you to have jewelry and hair accessories ready as well.
Do I have to do a trial?
We do not require a trial in order to book with us, because we understand every brides needs are different, however it is recommended. We understand that there are certain circumstances in which a trial is not possible. If you are able, this is a great opportunity to work together to design your dream look and see how it wears throughout the day.
What should I bring to my wedding hair and makeup trial?
Inspiration pictures, veil/hairpiece, clip in extensions (if applicable), jewelry as well as any questions for us. We also recommend wearing a white or light colored shirt to avoid color reflection.
What accommodations are needed on my wedding day for hair and makeup?
Our hair and makeup artists will need some table space, an outlet and a chair per artist. Makeup artists need a barstool height chair and hairstylists need a standard height chair. Makeup artists would love to work near a window, but it’s not a must.
How should my party and I prep for my wedding day?
One day unwashed hair is the best to work with. Super curly hair can be blown out with a flat brush if we’re not working with your natural curls. No flat ironed hair. Waxing should be done at least 3 days beforehand. Clean faces are best for a beautiful makeup!
How long does hair and makeup typically take?
We typically allot 30-45 minutes per person per service and an hour and 15 for the bride. Depending on timing and other factors.
​
If I wanted to do two looks for my wedding day or have touch ups, are you available to stay on site?
Yes! we have an hourly touch up rate based on hours booked. Time starts when services are completed.
