Facts, Questions, & Tips
• What products do your artists use?
We pride ourselves in using the best products from the top lines such as Kryolan, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Tom Ford, Dior, Kenra and Sebastian to name a few. We use only the highest quality products suitable for all skin types. However, if you prefer us to use your own products, please simply let us know and we will do our best to accommodate your requests.
• What if my mom, my mother-in-law, and my bridesmaids want professional hair and makeup too? How large of a group can you handle?
We can accommodate any size group for hair and makeup services! Your lead stylist will determine how many artists are needed based how many people are included in your group and how much time you have set aside for getting ready in the morning.
• How much time should I allow in my schedule for hair & makeup?
It varies on the amount of styling and application. We allot fourty-five minutes for each service, however based on the complexity it can sometimes be longer. We’ll ask you to provide hair and/or makeup inspiration photos as well as images of yourself during your consultation.
• What is included in my Preview?
You should be sure to go through pictures of hairstyles and makeup looks you like with your makeup artist and/or hairstylist. Feel free to bring photos of styles you would like to try to your preview appointment. After deciding on the look that is right for you, your stylist will create and cater it to what is suitable for you. If at any time during your consultation you want to change your look, just let your stylist know. After your look is complete, a picture and video are taken to assure the same look on your big day. Be prepared to answer any questions about your big day such as the final headcount, the timeline, etc. We love to gather all those important details the day of your preview.
• How long does the Preview usually take?
The Preview is a trial run intended to be a dress rehearsal for how getting ready will go on your wedding day. However this could quite possibly take longer since this is an opportunity to work through your preferred styles, make tweaks according to your features and preferences, and find the best overall look for you. This is also an opportunity for your artist to talk through some tips, any preparation needed, and the best method or products for your specific skin type or hair type/texture. We recommend planning on an hour for your makeup preview, and the same for hair.
• What if I want a style change between my ceremony and reception? What about touch ups for photos?
We can certainly provide hair and makeup assistance throughout your special day for style changes or touch ups during photos. Your stylist will be present for as many hours as you need, beginning when your initial bridal style is complete. This type of service can be reserved separately and is billed on an hourly basis at a rate of $100/hour with a two-hour minimum.
• How many artists will I have?
For parties with more than eight services, there will be two artists assigned, anything less and there will be one assigned artist. For more than twelve services, your lead stylist will determine how many artists your group will need based on the timeline.
• What if not everyone wants their hair & makeup done?
While we highly recommend that our artists' style your entire group to ensure a cohesive look, we're happy to build a custom package for you, too. Please contact us for more options including hair only, or makeup only.
• Is gratuity included in my service charge?
While this is not included in your invoice, gratuity is always appreciated.
• What’s the advantage to airbrush foundation? What about false lashes?
Airbrush foundation provides a flawless, touchable, long-lasting, and transfer-proof matte or dewy finish for your skin. It is compatible with all skin types and hypo-allergenic. It requires fewer powder touchups and coverage can be adjusted easily for light to heavy concealment, and it covers blemishes extremely well, giving your skin a smooth, airbrushed finish.
False lashes are a great accent to add that extra sparkle to your eyes in your photos. False lashes photograph very well, and can be applied differently according to how much drama you want to add. There are many different styles of false lash strips. We highly recommend both airbrush foundation and false lashes and that is why they are complimentary to any full makeup service.
• How should I prepare for my appoinment?
We ask our clients to arrive with hair freshly blow-dryed, and preferably washed with a clarifier to remove any heavy buildup. This will allow your hairstyle to last until you take it out.
If your have naturally curly hair we suggest flat ironing your hair as well. Alternatively, if you prefer your natural curl, we are happy to style your curls without using hot tools.
Artists do not bring blow dryers on site so please arrive with dry hair otherwise your hair will be styled wet.
It is very rare for a style to come undone during the course of your wedding day, barring rain or other inclement weather.
Please arrive with no makeup and minimal skin care. We love using SPF daily, however if your skincare contains Titanium Dioxide or Zinc Oxide then you risk a dreaded white cast when using flash photography. We have skincare products for every type so feel free to skip the regimen for the day and we’ll take care of the rest.
Our signature application techniques allow your makeup to have wonderful staying power, even though tears, gentle touching, or contact throughout the day and long through the night.
Tip #1
Airbrush foundation is a must for hot weather weddings. Airbrush foundation is sweat and water resistant, and provides a flawless, touchable, long-lasting, and transfer-proof matte or dewy finish for your skin. It is compatible with all skin types and hypo-allergenic. It requires fewer powder touchups and coverage can be adjusted easily for light to heavy concealment, and it covers blemishes extremely well, giving your skin a smooth, airbrushed finish.
False lashes are a great accent to add that extra sparkle to your eyes in your photos. False lashes photograph very well, and can be applied differently according to how much drama you want to add. There are many different styles of false lash strips. We highly recommend both airbrush foundation and false lashes and that is why they are complimentary to any full makeup service. This is one of the best tips!
Tip #2
Having on-site hair and makeup services can save you time and money. You can start getting ready later in the day (letting you get your beauty sleep!) and since the artists come to you, you don't have to worry about hiring transportation to the salon.
Tip #3
Bring your jewelry, veil or other headpiece with you to your preview appointment so you can see what works best when your artist is doing your makeup and/or hair.
Tip #4
Surprise your mom and bridesmaids with a gift they'll be sure to enjoy: the gift of beauty. Everyone in the bridal party will feel gorgeous on your big and it will show (especially in photos!) when you reserve our on-site hair and makeup artists.
