Common Questions
If you have any additional questions, comments etc please feel free to email us anytime or set up a phone consultation. Please note we are always out of office Friday - Sunday to prioritize face to face client interactions. Most of our job doing makeup and hair is hands on and we always prioritize client interactions over being on our phone and work laptop. We do our best to keep up with communication but please be patient with replies.
How to book:
- Inquire
- Complete and Sign Contract
- Pay Retainer
What to expect after booking:
- We will confirm your booking and that your retainer and contract are received.
- About 15 weeks before the big day we reach out to get you scheduled for a bridal preview! If you wish to schedule one sooner reach out!
- Once we have your photographers wedding day timeline and re-confirm your wedding service numbers we will create a custom getting ready timeline for your big day.
Timing Information
Every wedding day timeline gets customized, and the timing varies depending on the number of services and artists booked. Artist timing may vary based on their overall comfort and experience. Trust us to create a timeline for you that will have you looking your best and keep the day running smoothly on time. On average we schedule 40 min per client per service.
Extensions
We happily can help consult all our brides about various extensions for purchasing or rental. This is normally something we like to do for our brides after having already met with them since hair is more personalized to your needs. Clip in extensions can be a great option for adding volume, length and longevity to down styled hair. For a speedy non customized response purpose I would suggest Bellami or Luxy Hair clip in extensions. Stylist can only work with 100% human hair extensions. All extensions must be washed and dried prior to wedding day styling (they come with a coating to keep them extra smooth for packaging)
Bridal Previews
Time to “try on” your wedding makeup and hair to see your bridal hair and makeup vision in real life!
2023 Bridal Preview Pricing:
Bridal Makeup Preview 1 Look up to 75 $140
Bridal Makeup Preview Multiple Looks up to 2 hours $220
Bridal Hair Preview 1 Style 75 min $140
Bridal Hair Preview 2 Styles up to 2 hours $220
*Bridal Previews are a completely separate booking unrelated to the wedding day and costs help cover the stylists kit, product, time and expertise.
Bridal Previews often take longer than a wedding day or special event makeup application or hair styling. It is a great time to talk and get to know the artist! All appointments include a consultation. Full makeup application including false lashes. For hair trials there is no additional charge for application and styling of bring your own clip in extensions.
At this time due to high demand and busy schedules trials may be exclusive for our contracted brides. If getting a preview with an artist who is not officially contracted for your wedding day we will check they are available at the time of booking your preview but the wedding date is not reserved without a contract and retainer. All weddings are booked on a first contracted first served basis; no exceptions.
Where will my trial be?
Trials at this time are held in Old City Philadelphia. All artists are booked by appointment only and this is not a traditional salon.
Can I bring someone with me to my trial?
We respectively ask that the person having the trial only bring one supportive guest who understands and shares your bridal beauty vision.
What is the length of a trial?
Plan to spend about 1 hour 15 minutes per service.
What if I am a bride only?
All artist service cost minimums will still apply. The service cost minimum can be redeemed towards an additional reception style or touch ups.
