Frequently Asked Questions
Trials
Although not required, we highly recommend a hair and/or makeup trial. This gives you an opportunity to see your vision come to life, which will help to ease your mind on the day of. Once the trial is booked, we will send you a consultation intake form so we have an idea of what you envision for the big day. In addition, we encourage sharing your inspiration photos of hair & makeup styles to help convey the overall look and feel. We also recommend providing images of your dress, as well as images of yourself in formal makeup that you have both liked and disliked in the past for reference.
We suggest scheduling a trial within 3 months of the big day.
We dedicate two – two and a half hours for a hair & makeup trial.
Yes, however we do not generally recommend this. An engagement session or shower traditionally takes place in a more casual atmosphere than the wedding day. With that said, we offer an add on for a change-of-style. This allows us to do your trial and ensure that everything has been perfected for your wedding day look, and then change it slightly to be geared to whatever event you are attending/hosting that day!
In short, airbrushing uses the power of compressed air to mist foundation gently across your skin using special cartridges. Airbrush makeup is applied in even, thin layers giving off a flawless complexion and a glowing natural finish. Unlike traditional makeup, airbrush makeup is known to last for longer periods of time and stay flawless in different weather conditions. This is why it is most commonly used in professional photoshoots and weddings!
Timeline + Travel
We do half hour services for everyone but the bride. Half hour for hair, half hour for makeup, one hour for someone getting both hair & makeup. For the bride we designate one hour per service, a total of two hours.
Additionally, we will make a schedule for you prior to the wedding day ensuring everyone has a time slot.
My biggest suggestion is to add in some wiggle room. So many brides try to schedule every minute of their day and sometimes it just doesn’t go exactly to plan. Every wedding is different and we will work with you to create your personal timeline! Keep in mind travel time if you are not getting ready at the same location as the first look or ceremony! In general you should be finishing up with hair & makeup about one hour and a half prior to your ceremony/first look.
Remember, you want this to be fun and stress free!
