What’s required to book?

-When you’re ready to go forward, you’ll receive a proposal of services, which includes an itemized invoice, payment schedule, and contract. A 50% retainer payment and signed contract are what’s required to secure your date.

How quickly do you book?

-Weddings have been booking quicker than ever nowadays with up to 18 months in advance! The longer you wait to book, the quicker someone takes the date, as anyone is open to book a date if the contract + retainer payment are not completed.

Do you have a have a minimum booking cost?

-Yes, a minimum of the bride + 4 others or the cost equivalent. Meaning: if you don’t have a total of 5 people, the minimum cost is firm. You’re able to substitute the remaining applications for wedding related events!

I haven’t confirmed the number of people that want makeup. How do I book? When should I confirm this number by?

-How to book?: Leave anyone on the fence out of the count. While people can opt out later on, the balance due remains firm.

-When to confirm?: For a head count of 7 or less, it must be confirmed 2 months before the wedding day. For head counts of 8+, it must be confirmed 6 months before if the wedding is June-September, and 12 months before if the wedding is October-May due to needing another artist to assist.

What if people decide to opt in or out after I book?

-People can opt in on a case-by-case basis based on timing and potentially needing another artist if it reaches 8 or more people.

-People are able to opt out, but the cost of services remains firm.

Do you take separate payments from each person?

-I only take accept directly from you. If someone is financially helping out or if your wedding party is paying for their own services, please have them pay you privately!

Can I book a trial before committing?

-Trials do not hold dates, therefore they are exclusively for booked brides.

Is my trial a separate cost?

-Your trial is included in your investment.

When are where are trials held? How long does it take?

-Where?: Trials are held in Old Town Alexandria, VA. The address will be provided once the booking is confirmed.

-How long?: Trials are allotted for 90 minutes, give or take some.

Can anyone else besides me book a trial?

-Anyone who is receiving services is welcome to schedule a trial! It’s priced at the same rate as their day-of application.

Can we get ready at my venues bridal suite?

-Please reach out to your venue to see when they open their bridal suite. Some locations don’t open them until early morning/late afternoon which does not give hair and makeup enough time to complete services. I always recommend getting ready at an AirBnB, residence, or hotel suite if this is the case!

Do we need to bring any of our own products or brushes?

-NO! Down to the single paper towel, I bring everything I need to do the job!

Do you provide touch ups before you leave?

-Yes! I provide final touch ups (powder, lip gloss, etc.) for you and your girls before fully packing up my kit.
