FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
FAQ ● Can you accommodate large wedding parties? Absolutely! A $150 fee will be added for parties consisting of 5 or more as an assistant will be required. ● What makeup brands do you use? I use a wide range of products from many different brands. Only high quality and high performing products are in our kit to ensure your makeup is flawless on camera. All products are tested for performance prior to making it into my collection. Please contact me with any questions regarding allergies in your party. ● Do you do trials? I require them mostly for weddings, Special events it is not required I believe makeup is personal, and must be tailored to each client specific style and facial features. I make a vision board prior to the trial so that we can get an idea of the style of makeup that you are envisioning. A trial is the best time for me to get to know you, and for me to fully grasp your needs as a Bride. I use this consultation to give you a sense of my artistry style. I like to test different products and style and make adjustments together so that your makeup is exactly what you are looking for on your big day. ● When and where do trials take place? And how long will it take? We have the trial in your home and/or mine in Arlington VA. I recommend to schedule a trial between 2-3 months in advance. Trials take between 90 minutes to 2 hours. This is when we create a look together, talk logistics and get a clear idea of how you will look on your special day. ● Do you require a deposit? Yes, I require a 50% deposit, and a signed contract to hold your wedding date. This is due on the date of your trial, and is then put towards your total invoice. The final balance will be due the day before your event. ● Im a bit nervous about booking right away. Can I book my trial and give a deposit at a later date? Due to high demand I am unable to reserve your date past your trial without a deposit. I often have inquiries per wedding dates during prime wedding season and highly recommend deciding the day of the trial to ensure you are able to book with us. I would hate to be unable to serve you. ● How far do you travel? As far as you need me! Rates apply after the first 15 miles traveled round trip. Valet parking required for all city venues. ● How far in advance should I book? The sooner the better! I start booking a year out. ● Can you stay during my wedding day? I would be more than happy to stay for the day or an extra few hours the cost of that will be $50 per hour. ● Do you do Bridal Hair? No, for such an important event I prefer to put all of our focus into our makeup artistry. I believe that your wedding day will run smoothest when makeup and hair are performed by two separate artists. ● Does Makeup or Hair go first? I have done it both ways, and it has worked great either way. I recommend the hair and makeup trial to be done on the same day. ● How long does each makeup application take? On the day of the event, the Bride is scheduled for a full hour and a half, and attendants are scheduled for 45 minutes each. This gives me wiggle room if we need it. For special events I schedule an hour and a half ● Will my makeup last all night? What if I cry? Absolutely. A true professional makeup application will last the full duration of your event. Not only are the eyes and skin prepared with the proper skin care and priming products, but you will be set and finished with professional powders and sprays that seal in and help fix the makeup in place. All the products in between the prepping and sealing are chosen for their longevity and high performance in all tear/sweat and weather conditions. ● When is the final balance? The final balance is due the week before your event. I accept all major credit cards but I do not accept checks ● Will I be required to pay anything the day of the trial? The trial is $100 flat fee and will be included in the final invoice if booked.
