Having your hair and makeup professionally done for your wedding day is not just an expense—it's an investment in ensuring you look and feel your absolute best. Here's why it's worth prioritizing in your budget:

1. Long-Lasting Impression: Your bridal look is one of the most enduring memories captured on your wedding day. Professional hair and makeup ensure you look polished and radiant in person and in your timeless photographs.

2. Complementing Photography: A skilled photographer will capture your special moments beautifully, reflecting your personal style. Professional hair and makeup enhance these photos by ensuring you appear flawless and camera-ready throughout the day.

3. Expertise and Products: Professionals use high-quality products and have the expertise to create looks that withstand the entire event. They understand how makeup and hair behave under different lighting and conditions, ensuring your look is perfect from ceremony to reception.

4. Minimized Stress: A reputable artist not only enhances your appearance but also manages time efficiently. They anticipate challenges and ensure a smooth, relaxing experience, allowing you to focus on enjoying your day without added stress.

5. Specialized Skills: Wedding and special event styling differs significantly from everyday makeup and hair care. Professionals are trained to handle the emotional and logistical aspects of weddings, ensuring you feel confident and comfortable throughout the day.

Ultimately, investing in professional hair and makeup is about more than just aesthetics—it's about ensuring you feel pampered, confident, and at ease on one of the most important days of your life. Choosing the right artist means ensuring your wedding morning runs smoothly and that you look and feel beautiful from the first photo to the last dance.

For weddings, we highly recommend booking your hair and makeup artist 6-12 months in advance. Wedding dates fill up quickly, so securing your artist early ensures you get your preferred date and artist. This early booking also allows us to plan and prepare thoroughly for your special day, ensuring everything goes smoothly.

For other services, such as individual appointments or special events not tied to weddings, we recommend booking at least a week in advance. Availability for these services operates on a first-come, first-served basis, so booking early ensures you get the time slot that best fits your schedule.

By planning ahead and securing your appointments early, you can relax knowing your beauty needs are taken care of with the utmost attention to detail and professionalism.

After receiving your inquiry via email, our dedicated admin assistant will promptly respond to provide you with our current pricing and detailed information. Along with the pricing details, you will receive a questionnaire to fill out and return. This helps us understand your needs, preferences, and any specific details relevant to your event. Once we receive your completed questionnaire, we will prepare a detailed estimate and contract tailored to your requirements. To secure your booking and reserve your date, we require your signed contract and a non-refundable deposit. Upon receiving your signed contract and deposit, your booking will be confirmed, and your date will be reserved exclusively for you. Please note that your booking is not considered secure, and your date is not reserved until we have received both your signed contract and deposit. We recommend completing these steps promptly to avoid disappointment, as dates can fill up quickly.

Unfortunately, demand for services during peak wedding months is very high, and for that reason, dates cannot be held for any longer than 7 days from first contact.

We generally prefer to use our own products for hair and makeup, as we are confident they will perform optimally for your event. We understand that our clients have products they can’t live without on a day-to-day basis, but those products may not be suited for our climate or professional photography.

We are continually researching new products that will suit our clients’ needs. Specific products depend on the location and climate, as well as skin/texture and final look desired.

Once the time for finishing hair and makeup is established, we will create a detailed timeline for your wedding day services. We prioritize ensuring that you and your loved ones are ready for the next stage of the day. Based on past experience, we have found that specific time slots can be problematic if someone is late, which can disrupt the entire schedule. Instead, we recommend using this time to enjoy quality moments with your favorite ladies, share a meal, reminisce, and embrace these last few moments as a single person. This will be a cherished opportunity that you won't regret.

We will ensure to schedule the appropriate number of artists to accommodate your requests on your special day. If you require more artists than we initially recommend, an additional "extra artist" fee will apply. Rest assured, we have a proven track record in scheduling and can handle it efficiently. If you choose to engage other artists, please keep in mind that our timeline takes priority, similar to the VIP line at a concert.
