FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: What sets you apart from other hair and makeup artists?

A: We offer more than just hair and makeup—we create a calming, luxury experience tailored to each bride.

With a focus on timeless, photo-ready beauty, we bring professionalism, warmth, and refined artistry to every

wedding day so you feel confident, relaxed, and truly radiant from start to finish.

Q: Can I book just hair or just makeup?

A: Yes! While many of our brides book both services, you’re welcome to book hair-only or makeup-only

depending on your needs. Just keep in mind that our service minimum still applies per category.

 

Q: Is a bridal trial required?

A: While it’s not required, a bridal trial is highly recommended. It gives us time to collaborate, explore your

vision, and perfect your look in advance—so you feel completely confident and relaxed on your wedding day.

 

Q: When should I schedule my trial?

A: We recommend scheduling your trial 6–12 weeks before your wedding. This allows your inspiration, hair

length, and skin tone to closely match your day-of look.

 

Q: Do you travel for weddings?

A: Absolutely! We’re based in Baltimore, Maryland, but we happily travel wherever love takes you. Travel fees

apply for locations outside our studio, and we also accommodate destination weddings upon request.

 

Q: Is there a service minimum to book?

A: Yes. We require a minimum of four adult services per category (hair or makeup) to book wedding day

services. If your group is smaller, you can still book by meeting the flat rate. Please contact for details.

 

Q: How long does each service take on the wedding day?

A: We typically allow 30–45 minutes per service for bridal party members, and up to 60 minutes per service

for the bride to ensure every detail is flawless. A personalized schedule will be provided to keep your morning

running smoothly.

 

Q: How does the payment process work?

Full payment is due one week prior to the event. We do not accept separate payments from individual bridal

party members. As the bride and primary client, you are responsible for submitting the deposit and final

balance, and for collecting payments from your bridal party if needed.W E H A V E A N S W E R S

 

Q: How do I secure my date?

A: To officially reserve your wedding date, we require a signed contract and a $400 non-refundable retainer. This

retainer also covers the bride’s wedding day hair and makeup services. Dates are not held without both items

completed.

 

Q: Do you offer touch-up services or stay for the ceremony/photos?

A: We include final touch-ups at the end of your scheduled services to ensure everyone looks fresh and photo-

ready. If you'd like extended on-site touch-up time or a stylist to stay through photos or the ceremony, hourly

touch-up rates are available upon request.

Q: Can I request a specific artist from your team?

A: Absolutely! If you have a preferred artist in mind, we’ll do our best to accommodate your request based on

availability. All of our team members are highly trained and share the same standard of excellence, so you’ll be in

great hands no matter what.

Q: What products do you use? Are they suitable for sensitive skin?

A: We use a curated mix of professional-grade, long-wearing products that photograph beautifully and perform all

day. Many of our products are hypoallergenic and suitable for sensitive skin. If you have specific allergies or skin

concerns, just let us know—we’re happy to customize your product selection.

 

Q: What forms of payment do you accept?

A: We accept credit cards, debit cards, and ACH bank transfers through our secure booking platform. All payments

are processed digitally for your convenience. Gratuity can be given in cash or via payment apps if preferred.

 

Q: Can you accommodate large bridal parties?

Absolutely! We specialize in on-location beauty for bridal parties of all sizes. For larger groups, we’ll bring additional

artists from our trusted team to ensure everything runs smoothly and stays on schedule.

Please note: An additional artist fee of $150 per artist applies when extra support is needed, based on party size

and timing. We’ll create a custom schedule tailored to your event to ensure a seamless, stress-free experience.

 

Q: What if I need to cancel or change my booking?

We understand that plans can shift. If you need to cancel or make changes, please notify us in writing as soon as

possible. The $400 retainer is non-refundable and secures your date and artist team.

Cancellations made within 90 days of the event may incur a 50% fee, and those within 30 days will be responsible

for 100% of the remaining balance. Reductions in services must still meet the minimum booking requirement.
