FAQs
What is a Bridal Preview?
The bridal preview is not required, but is highly recommended! At the bridal preview, we have a thorough consultation, share inspiration images, talk in detail about your wedding day and most importantly curate your perfect bridal look! Not only is the bridal preview to see if you like the hair and makeup, but see how it wears throughout the day / night.
Can I bring anyone to the bridal preview?
We highly recommend only the bride at the bridal preview so we can really get to know you and your style. In the event where you need your best-friend, or mom that is totally acceptable. We do not allow anyone under 18 at the bridal preview.
Is there a minimum to book you and your team?
May - October we require a service amount of $350 plus the bride. If you do not reach this minimum, that’s okay! You can still book with us but you will just need to meet $350 in services. This can also be used for touch up services.
i.e. It’s only the bride for hair and makeup, but she still wants to book us. It will be the price of the hair and makeup + $350 service minimum. You can add on up to 3 hours of touch ups.
What is the difference between airbrush and traditional makeup?
The main difference between the two is application. Airbrush makeup is best for clients who already have hydrated skin since airbrush can cringe on to dry spots. Traditional makeup is great for clients who have mature skin, or skin that leans more on the dry side. No matter what you choose, our makeup is water resistant.
How much is the bridal preview and when do brides normally book this?
Each bridal preview is $150 per service and typically takes about 1.5 hours to complete. We only allow bridal previews after 5:00 PM, but we are flexible in off season months (January - March). Brides can book the bridal preview before signing the contract which is recommended to make sure we are the bridal team for you! We allow a 7 day grace period after the bridal preview to lock your date in. You can also book your bridal preview after locking your date in if you trust in our ability and references.
Do you offer discounts? Military, senior, large parties, etc?
Our prices are firm because we do our best to give you a quality and exceptional bridal look that looks good all night, and in every image. If you are inquiring for prom hair and makeup, we offer group discounts for minimal styles and looks.
How do we lock our wedding date with you?
In order to officially lock in your favorite beauty team we require a $300 nonrefundable / nontransferable retainer that goes towards your balance plus a signed contract. Everything is done electronically and your remaining balance is due 30 days prior to the wedding.
Do you offer lip samples and touchup kits?
We offer all of our brides a lip sample of their wedding day color. For the bridesmaids and guests, we recommend that they bring a color to touch up with later. Out makeup applications and hairstyles are made for optimal longevity however we do offer touch up services at $125 per hour for you and your bridal party. We also have touch up kits available for purchase for $50 and full size lipgloss available for purchase.
Are you able to style natural hair curl patterns?
We are able to style any hair texture, and work with natural hair. If there is a specific style you are looking for, please reach out. We want to accommodate each and every client. Each of our team members have specialties!
How should I prepare for the bridal preview?
Upon booking your bridal preview, we will send you a preparation guide tailored to your appointment!
Why is the brides price SO much more than the bridal parties?
When we book a bride, there is a lot of admin time that goes into each booking. We spend an ample amount of time conducting your contract, creating a seamless timeline, coordinating with all of your vendors, and paying the most attention to the bride on the big day!
How long will it take your team to finish?
Every time we book a bride we coordinate with the photographer and curate a seamless getting ready schedule. This will include set up / break down, cushion, and touch up time. We typically book out every 45-60 minutes. In the event where you need X amount of services done in less time, we will require a $150 assistant fee to speed things up.
Are you able to work on all ages, skin tones and complexions?
Many of our clients hire us because we have an extensive knowledge of skin. Each client's skin is analyzed before the makeup application begins. Oily? Dry? Combo? Normal? Young? Mature? Little melanin, or a surplus of melanin? Our clients skin is prepped to perfection. The foundation is the most important part of the makeup application so we customize this to your exact skin tone and texture! We strive to accommodate all ages, skin tones and textures.
