FAQ's

IS A TRIAL REQUIRED?

Although trials aren't mandatory, they are recommended! This gives us a chance to meet, discuss your style, and try out YOUR bridal glam vision.

HOW LONG DOES A TRIAL TAKE?

Allow an hour to hour and a half for your trial.

HOW FAR OUT SHOULD I BOOK MY TRIAL?

I recommend 3-4 months out from your wedding date. You don't want to wait until the last minute since our schedules are JAM PACKED due to postponements and we may not be able to get you in.

WHEN ARE YOU AVAILABLE FOR TRIALS?

I take trials on my normal work week schedule - tuesday. wednesday, friday, saturday. I do not work Sunday, Monday or Thursdays. All trial appointments are taken in my studio location.

WHAT SHOULD I BRING TO MY TRIAL?

Come with a clean, bare face and inspiration photos! 

DO YOU REQUIRE A RETAINER TO BOOK?

In order to finalize and initiate the booking process, I will need two things: a signed contract and a non-fundable non-transferrable $100 retainer. A retainer is a pre-payment made in advance to reserve your specific date. 


This fee serves as a commitment from parties and ensures that I am exclusively available to cater to your needs during the agreed-upon period. This is a separate fee from your day-of invoice. Once I have received both the signed contract + retainer, I will lock you in to my calendar. 


You do have a 24 hr grace period from the time the contract has been sent to sign and pay your retainer, otherwise your date is void and becomes available for others to book.

CAN I BOOK A TRIAL PRIOR TO SECURING MY WEDDING DATE?

Absolutely!


But this is on a first come first serve basis, and with an abundance of inquiries rolling in from 2020/21 postponements, nothing is secured unless your contract is signed and the deposit has been made.

HOW MUCH TIME SHOULD I ALLOW FOR MAKEUP ON MY WEDDING DAY?

This isn't your everyday 20-minute makeup! Make sure to allow at least an hour  for Bridal Makeup and for all others (guests, bridesmaids, moms, juniors) please allow 45 minutes.

HOW DO YOU TAKE PAYMENT?

Cash is best! Pay cash and I will love you forever, even though I already will.

WHAT IF I WANT TO ADD PEOPLE/SERVICES?

Once the contract has been signed, that number is not subject to change. I plan the day based on that number of people.


If the number of services jumps from 5 to 11, I can't do that many girls by myself.

CAN YOU HIRE AN ASSISTANT?

Absolutely! This is recommended since bridal parties have been very large lately. My maximum number of solo services is 6, so for any larger parties, my assistant will be required at an additional cost.

WHAT IF I SIGNED MY CONTRACT WITHOUT AN ASSISTANT BUT NOW WE NEED ONE?

We can add on the assistant service if required, but this all depends on availability. This is why it is always best to have your set number of girls/services at the time of booking.

CAN WE GET READY IN MY BRIDAL SUITE?

Trust me, we understand they are beautiful and make for the best photos, but venues fail to let you know that you typically don't get access to the bridal suite until around 11.


With a large bridal party that timeline becomes highly unrealistic for hair and makeup.

WHERE DO YOU RECOMMEND GETTING READY?

You can always book an AirBnb (more ideal for space and lighting) or a hotel room the night before to get ready in and then head to the suite afterwards.
