Question 1

Our Team

Accepted Answer

Every artist on our team will be able to execute a wide variety of hair and makeup styles for any skin/hair type, texture, age, ethnicity, etc. We don't book you or the bridal party with “assistants”, but with trusted industry professionals who all give that seamless, luxury client experience. Maintaining a high quality of work and professionalism from the bride's service to a bridesmaid's service is extremely important to us. When booking with any of our artists, we will still handle all questions, logistics, timelines, scheduling, and payments.

Question 2

What do other brides say after working with Emily Lynn & Co?

Accepted Answer

What our clients consistently tell us they didn't realize they'd value so much is everything that comes with having our team in your corner: the seamless communication, the detailed timelines we create to keep everything running smoothly, and the peace of mind that comes from working with a team rather than an individual... If anything unexpected happens, we have backup systems in place. We operate like a well-oiled machine, and that organization shows up at every step, not just when we're doing your hair and makeup. Here is a link to our Recent Client Reviews!

Question 3

Are you insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes! And if your venue needs a COI or to be additionally insured, we can absolutely accommodate that.

Question 4

How do you clean your kit?

Accepted Answer

Cleanliness is HUGE. We prioritize our sanitation practices and make sure that after every single job, our kits are clean and ready for the next clients. This is a commitment of time and a lot of energy after getting home from a long work day, but it's 100% worth it to know that we are doing everything we can to provide the best for our clients. You can read more about some of our protocols and safe practices HERE.

Question 5

Availability

Accepted Answer

Our team's availability is first come, first serve, and changes by the day. Email us through the contact form on our website and we will email you a custom quote. If you are interested in booking from there, we will check on our artist availability and usually this takes about 2-3 business days.

We use a secure, online system for our invoicing and contracts to keep things as easy as can be for our clients!

Question 7

How much does wedding hair and makeup cost?

Accepted Answer

Every wedding is different, so we don't sell fixed packages. Your quote is built around the services you want, your party size, your getting-ready location, your date, and any extras like a consultation or on-site touch-ups. Weekend bookings (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) carry an $875 minimum. A bride booking hair and/or makeup for only herself fits within that price range. Consultations and trials are booked separately and don't count toward the minimum. Most full weddings run into the thousands. A bride with a couple of bridesmaids or family members is usually $1,300 to $1,600+. Smaller wedding parties commonly land between $2,600 and $3,000+. Larger parties with more coverage, like a rehearsal dinner, mothers of the couple, and a full bridal party, typically run from about $5,800 to $8,600+, and sometimes more. Reach out with your date and details and you'll have a custom quote from us almost immediately, so you can see exactly what your day would look like before you book. Typical ranges and everything we offer are on our Services & Pricing page.

Question 8

Do you offer discounts?

Accepted Answer

We do not offer discounts, out of respect for our clients who pay our rates.

Question 9

What time do we need to start?

Accepted Answer

Normally, each service is scheduled in a 30-45 minute time slot. Our services for brides are scheduled with 45-60 minutes per service. Once we know the time you need to be ready, our booking manager will create a customized and detailed timeline that helps everyone stay on the same page! We suggest having a conversation with your wedding planner and/or photographer to determine the ready time. We like to be completely finished with hair and makeup before your photographer arrives. That way we will be able to pose with you for any “getting ready” shots you'd like, but you are already done, stress-free, and can jump right into the rest of your photos!

Question 10

How many hair stylists or makeup artists do I need to get myself and my bridal party ready on the wedding day?

Accepted Answer

We will help you decide how many artists you need, based upon how many services you have. Each artist on our team has different service minimums and maximums. Usually, each artist can do up to 6-8 services on a wedding day.

Question 11

What services do you offer?

Accepted Answer

We provide on-site hair styling, makeup application, men's grooming, touch ups throughout the wedding day, bridal trials and consultations, and more for your wedding, elopement, engagement shoot, rehearsal dinner, welcome party, photoshoot, or event! We love working multi-day or full weekend events! All of our makeup services include false lashes, strip or individual, and the option of airbrush foundation. See more here.

Question 12

Hair and Makeup Trials (Consultation) Appointments

Accepted Answer

We offer hair and makeup consultations for brides - also on-site appointments. (We use the term “consultation” and “trial” interchangeably.) This is a great chance before the wedding to meet your lead artist and implement any ideas you have. The consultation appointment includes full hair and makeup (with options of lashes + airbrush foundation included), and lasts around 2-3 hours so that you and your artist can nail your vision and create your dream look together! (Consultation balance is due 2 weeks before the appointment.) Read more about how to prepare for your hair and makeup trial HERE.

Question 13

What is airbrush makeup?

Accepted Answer

Airbrush foundation is essentially a highly pigmented formula that gets sheered out through an airbrush gun and compressor. The magic is that you get more coverage with less product on the skin — so it feels lightweight, looks natural, and wears significantly longer than a traditional liquid foundation. We have a whole page dedicated to airbrush - read more in depth HERE!

Question 14

I've never had my makeup done before. How should I prep?

Accepted Answer

We have a full PDF resource with all the details and suggestions on preparation for getting your hair and makeup done with us. You can learn more about preparing for hair and makeup services HERE.

Question 15

If I'm planning a destination wedding and can't schedule a consultation appointment, is that normal?

Accepted Answer

Southern California is such a destination spot for couples from all across the U.S. and also out of the Country! We work with so many brides on their destination weddings and elopements and feel totally and 100% confident executing the look on the day-of, without a consultation/trial. Our consult appointments are not required and really it's up to each client and their comfort level! We will try to be as flexible as possible to schedule consults the week of the wedding for our out-of-town brides who really want to make it happen but can't travel in multiple times before their wedding date.

Question 16

Where are you located? Where will the hair and makeup services be completed? Can you travel to my venue?

Accepted Answer

Our entire team is fully on-site/mobile with our clients, from the wedding day to consultations appointments. Our services involve each artist curating their meticulously clean kit and including the products and tools needed for every skin tone, hair/skin type, age, and desired look. We brave the LA traffic to arrive on time, transporting our 50+ pound kits all over the city, so you can relax in the comfort of your home, hotel, or venue! We want to provide an effortless client experience. Each travel fee quote is per appointment and per artist. We are fully on-site, and come straight to you to make it easy, and as stress-free as possible! Our main markets are: Los Angeles, Orange County, Malibu, Santa Barbara, San Diego, Palm Springs, & Joshua Tree, Carmel & Big Sur. And we also travel for destination weddings here and there!

Question 17

Do you charge a travel fee?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there will be a travel fee charge for every booking. We feel our fees are fair and conservative considering the time and effort we put into traveling to each client. This compensates your artist for their time in traffic, the cost of gas, car wear/tear, setting up at a location, and is equivalent to CA employee mileage requirements. Our team is local to the Los Angeles and Orange County areas. We will email you with an exact travel fee quote based on your location address!

Every detail, answered.
