We were pleased that I, along with my son's fiancé and maid of honor were able to have a pre-trial makeup done by Melissa. She is very knowledgeable about the art of makeup. She was punctual, courteous and professional. It was the first time we had ever done this and the wedding is in a couple of months. Melissa came to our home and we were all quite happy with the results. The pre-trial was for 3 of us; it took about 3 hours, and she spent a lot of attention on each client, to be sure the style and colors fit each person.

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    For Event/Special Occasion Makeup: $80 pp *false lashes are included free of charge! - Bridal Makeup Pricing! Bridal Makeup Trial (at North Providence Studio): $65 To Hold your wedding date I require a $50 deposit, which will get refunded to you on the day of the wedding! Bride Airbrush Makeup: $150 *includes false lashes free of charge Bridesmaids/Mothers/Guests Makeup: $100 pp *false lashes included free of charge ***They may be an additional travel fee depending on location!

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    When I receive a client inquiry, I see if I am available on the date requested. I always email potential clients back, if I am available I will send them my pricing, and discuss some details about the event or wedding. If it is a wedding, we schedule a bridal trial at the studio, and I email the client a contract. Once the Contract & $50 deposit (refunded to you on the wedding day), is received then the date is officially booked for their makeup services! As the date of the event gets closer, I reach out to confirm the timing and location of services, and any last minute details the client might have. I arrive a few minutes early to the clients hotel, home, bridal suite, etc. Perform my makeup services, and making sure each client is happy with their makeup before I leave the event.
