FAQ’s

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.
We are proud to be a California compliant employer with our hair and makeup artists hired on as part time employees and our admin team full time with benefits.

We handle the timeline for all of our bookings! 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!
-
A non-refundable deposit and signed contract completes your booking and secures your artist. The remainder of your balance is due 2 weeks before your event - no worrying about paying on the day of! Your date/booking is not confirmed or held available until deposit paid and signed contract is received and counter signed.

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.
-
Our hair and makeup artists are local to Los Angeles. We do not operate as a salon - our 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!
-
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.)

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 view our PDF HERE.

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

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.
