Q: What is the difference between a bridal trial and bridal preview?  
A. A bridal trial is now commonly known as being used to describe a general test run - often for clients to explore different makeup artist/hairstylist options before deciding to book.
A bridal preview is typically reserved for brides who have already secured their date with a signed contract. It's a booked session focused on finalizing their specified look they will wear on their wedding day.

Q: Can I book you for a trial first before securing you for my wedding date?
A. Definitely! You can book a trial first as soon as I confirm the availability and make sure your wedding day needs (like the size and timeline) can be fully accommodated. If everything checks out, I'll send over details to schedule your trial. Please Note: Trial appointments do NOT hold your date. Your wedding date remains open until a contract is signed and deposit is received.

Q: Can I book more than one bridal preview with you before the wedding?
A: My brides can book as many appointments/trials as they would like. Especially if you decide you'd like to try a different look before your big day. I will, however, always charge a small deposit to book, but it will go towards your total the day of.

Q: Are bridal preview appointments included in your pricing? 
A: No. I do not include bridal previews/trials in my pricing and they are priced separately as a budget friendly incentive to my brides. 

Q: What is your travel/set up fee?
A: My travel/set up fee is based off mileage to and from location as well as the total service amount of your bridal party. I will need to know the exact address of the location I will be traveling to to offer an accurate travel quote. 

Q: Do you include lashes in your pricing? 
A: Yes. All pricing is with or without lashes. You are welcome to bring your own as well or just opt for mascara only, although pricing will stay the same. 

Q: How far in advance should I book my wedding?
A: Currently, I am booking all 2025/2026 dates. Please check my availability calendar on the home page to see if your date is available.

Q: How do I go ahead and book you for my wedding? 
A: First, check to see if your date is available on the calendar on the home page. Then, I will need more details from you as described on my bridal services page. Fill out the bridal request form and I will email you more info about my pricing, etc. All wedding dates are first come, first served. I will respond asap.

Q: What all is included in your bridal makeup package?
A: For my brides makeup on her wedding day, the price includes, prep tips for the bride and bridal party, your customized timeline for wedding day services, wedding day makeup/hair consultation, skin prep for makeup, lashes (if desired) & makeup application, chest glow, and a complimentary deluxe touch up kit.

Q: Do you offer airbrush makeup?
A: I do not offer airbrush makeup. 

Q: Can you style hair with extensions in?
A: Yes! I am also a part-time hairstylist and have styled with extensions many times.

Q: Will you accommodate weddings that would like a later start time? 
A: It depends on how late we are talking and what your timeline looks like. This request can sometimes come with added fees as well.

Q: What makeup brands do you use? 
A: I use a variety of different brands from low-end to high-end. I have specific products that I like from specific brands that I trust will make you look amazing and will last all day. All products are sweat proof, 24 hour wear, and transfer resistant. All have been tested in performance and have been photography tested as well. Ex: Makeup Up Forever, Becca, Ben Nye, Laura Mercier, Morphe, Nyx, Nars, Maybelline, and a lot more. 

Q: I am looking for a super natural makeup look. Is this something you can do? 
A: Definitely! As a makeup artist, I offer a range of makeup styles to suit various preferences. If you're new to professional makeup or have specific concerns, I highly recommend getting bridal trial done prior to securing your date. I can usually book trials pretty fast.

Q: Can I book you for just one service and hire another artist separately? 
A: Absolutely! I offer both services as a perk to my brides so that they don't have to hire a second artist if the bridal party is smaller. I have been hired for just hair and I have been hired for just makeup. 

Q: Do you travel long distances? 
A: I do! Depending on times and other factors, I usually will require a one night hotel stay prior to the wedding so we can start early in the morning and a travel fee. All of this will be determined after I have more details about what you are needing. 

Q: I have a fairly large bridal party in need of services. How many can you handle on your own? 
A: Unfortunately, this question is not easy to answer without specific details. It depends on SO many things, start times, ceremony time, desired hairstyle types, and more. In order for me to correctly answer this question, you will need to fill out a bridal request form located on this website and I will respond momentarily.

Q: Do you have other artists you can bring on to help with services?
A: If you have a bridal party of 5+ wanting hair and makeup, typically for most artists and time limits, you'll need two artists- 1 stylist for hair only & 1 makeup artist for makeup only. The day runs smoothly, no one feels rushed, and there's room for time flexibility if its needed which most of the time is. Not to mention, 12+ services on one artist is a lot of work in one day & it makes it harder for us to offer high quality artistry.

I also recommend hiring two separate artists because we require contracts to secure your dates with us. Contracts = a legal binding agreement that the artist will show to do the job as opposed to "hoping my artists assistants/employees don't call out sick the night before so this artist has help to do their job". (I have heard horror stories.)

I do have a recommendation list that I offer to the bride once she has fully secured her date with me.

Q: My venue won't allow us to be there that early? What could I do?
A. Based off experience, I do know there are a lot of venues that won't let bridal parties or vendors in until a certain time and that cuts down the amount of time to get ready. Because of this, it could cause you to have to hire another artist or stylist to help with time. Some other ideas are to get ready at someone's house and then go to the venue, slip on their dress there, and then do pictures. I have even had some book a VRBO or a AirBNB to get ready at as well that way everyone can stay together the night before and then are ready for the stylists when they show up that morning.  

Q: Is it okay to possibly start later? 
A. Of course! However, because that will shorten the time available for me to get all of the services done (depending on your specific situation) you may have to hire a second artist/stylist. So just keep that in mind. I can help you decide that after I get all of your specific details. Depending on how late, fees may apply.

Q: Will my makeup last all day? 
A. Makeup sits on peoples skin differently. I set my makeup in a way for it to last many hours of the day & have yet to have any real complaints about it. However, I don't have control over what you do or what happens after I finish your makeup. I do offer free lip touch ups for everyone to use later in the day and deluxe touch up kits for purchase on the day of.

Q: How can I get more info about my specific wedding and your booking requirements? 
A. First, check to see if your date is available on the on page calendar, then click the "bridal request form tab" and fill out the form as much as you can. The more details the better! You will get a automated response letter email letting you know I have received your inquiry and I will email you back asap. Please double check your junk and spam mail. 

Q: How do I finalize my booking with you?
A: At this point, we should have finalized the details of your agreement through email. Once you are ready to book, please let me know and I will forward you your contract and deposit invoice. My contract will come from a sign website for easy fill-in & my invoice for your deposit will come from PayPal for easy payment. 
Once both are received, you will get a text confirmation letting you know your date is secured & I will text you personally as well. 
 
Q: What forms of payment do you accept for me and my bridal party? 
A.  Bridal Parties are now cash only However, I have Venmo and cash app - Processing fees are added for cards. Brides typically cover their balance via their final PayPal Invoices. Sorry, No Checks or AfterPay.

Q: What is the best way to keep in contact with you?
A. I like to stay in contact via email only, unless at some point, it becomes absolutely necessary, then we can exchange numbers. I deal with multiple inquiries, clients, and brides, and this is the easiest way to keep up with everyone without having a ton of contacts in my phone. Also, my email is set to notify me for all emails so it's all the same.

Q: Do you provide services for all ages and skin tones?
A. Absolutely!

Q: Do you provide touch up kits with your services?
A. I provide free lip touch up kits for each client to have as well as deluxe touch up kits available for $5. Bride gets a free deluxe touch up kit as well.

Q: What is your availability for wedding bookings? 
A. I am available for wedding bookings any day of the week/weekend. Saturdays are the most popular wedding days, so if you are wanting a Saturday wedding, I wouldn't hesitate to book it.

Q: Do you accept individual appointments on Saturdays & Sundays? 
A. Typically, my weekends are reserved for weddings and large bookings. Single appointments needed for Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are now only booked up to 3 weeks in advance. 

Q: Do you offer 1:1 Makeup Lessons?
A. I do! See makeup lessons under the services tab and send in an appointment form today!

Q: As the bride, can I go last in the line up for the wedding day so my makeup stays?
A. Absolutely not! My brides will never go last for so many important reasons! Brides will always go somewhere in the middle of the wedding day line up.
