 FAQ

  • Yes! Love is love is love & we're here to help you celebrate your love regardless of who you love. We are actually Equally Wed Certified Inclusive. All services are gender neutral as well.

  • You bet! We travel as far as our passports will take us. We actually have loads of experiencing traveling for styling as well as fun. We create custom packages for exactly your needs & wants no matter where we’re going.

  • We include 15 minutes of travel from each artists’ home bases. Above that travel is $100 per hour & is prorated ( one direction only). Anything over 100 miles or 1.5 hours in one direction requires lodging & anything over 8 hours driving requires a flight & rental car. In cases where it’s more cost effective to have a flight & rental car instead of mileage we're fine with that option.

  • Trials are either at the artist’s studio or your location. Artists without a studio will travel to you up to 1 hour one direction ( travel charge above 30 minutes). Artists with studios can com to you for a travel fee. If an in-person trial cannot occur then we can provide a complimentary virtual trial.

    Trials should take place 6-8 weeks prior to your wedding and are scheduled 3-4 months prior. They can take place or be scheduled earlier if requested with reason.

  • Technically anything over 100 miles in 1 direction is a “destination” event & requires 1-2 nights lodging (night before the event & possibly the night after if we finish after 3pm) + mileage. Destinations over 200 miles but less than 8 hours drive require 2 nights lodging (1 night before event & the night of the event)+ mileage. Destinations requiring flights require 3 night lodging minimum ( 2 nights before event & night of event) + rental car. In cases where it’s more cost effective to have a flight and rental car instead of mileage we're fine with that option. Each day of a destination wedding package also requires a $50 per day per diem for food unless vegan food is provided.

  • While we always encourage a trial when possible if it’s not that’s ok. Instead we will exchange oodles of emails & conduct a video call during which time we will meticulously go through all the same things we’d go through during a physical trial. In these cases we also add time to your day of styling to have more consultation time as well as time for adjustments.

  • We believe that beauty begins with kindness. So all the products we use are 100% vegan & cruelty free because we want a kinder, gentler, happier world free of suffering for ALL. Don’t worry, we're not mixing up concoctions in the kitchen or picking up items from an organic grocery store. They are all premium professional products, (see more in (Core Values).

  • As an overview we love them. They add extra raw material to achieve more volume & length which is sometimes needed. They are not always needed so we certainly won’t push them but just be aware that probably 70% of hairstyles you see on social media have extensions so you have to ask yourself what you want. Are you happy with what your hair can achieve or do you want more? Do you want it to match that hair style dang near exact or more so inspired by? If you choose to the route of extensions we will guide & assist you the whole way. We can even color match & purchase for you!

  • As soon as you know we’re besties & fall in love with my work. But seriously, we tell couple in general once you find your person in any field book them! Things move fast so you don’t want to miss out. Typically people book 6 months out but some earlier & sometimes I have openings later. Just reach out as soon as your interested & don’t wait for the industry “recommended” time you’ve maybe read about on some blog.

  • Yay! You want to book. To secure your date a contract is created which you finish & sign. Then you pay a 50% retainer via square. Once both items are in your date is secure. Your date is not secure until both of those items are completed & we can only hold your date for 5 day after our scheduled trial, (if you choose a trial first). Remaining balance isn’t due until 4 weeks prior to the event.

  • Yes, lots! We love curls & have worked extensively with all curl patterns. Plus we actually have been Ouidad certified. We want to embrace your natural curls & help them live their best life. Time after time we’ve heard styling horror stories from curly girls & their previously event styling experiences by other artists about how their curls were supressed. We would never suppress you curls but instead encourage them to thrive with tailored products & techniques. We love working with natural texture too & yes we can lay edges.

  • No. We do not provide silk press or straightening services. If you have naturally textured or curly hair but would like to have your hair straight on the wedding day or trial you need to arrive with a silk press, blowout or permanent straightening already completed.

  • Yes! Our artists have the full range of shades to accommodate every complexion regardless of how fair or dark you may be. Also we have palettes that look stunning on every complexion so every will receive the best bridal makeup experience. We have experience with all eye shapes so if you have hooded eyes for instance, no worries! We will make sure the look you are going for is adapted to each individuals’ face & benefits their natural beauty.

  • Ample! Experienced specifically with all the above listed. Actually we will either put the veil in or demonstrate to multiple people before we leave. While we are amply experienced with a wide range of different hair accessories & veils in a range of styles & cultural origins surely there’s always new ones out there that we’d be eager to learn about if we haven’t used them before. There’s always a first & that’s an opportunity we're excited to grow our knowledge.

  • Yes. If your venue needs a copy of insurance we're happy to provide.

  • Yes. We have talented makeup artists in each location. We even have a few airbrush MUAs.

  • Ideally a trial should be scheduled for 6-8 weeks prior to your wedding. We will reach out about 3-4 months prior to your wedding to secure the date. If you have a more complicated schedule please let us know and we can always schedule your trial further out to accommodate.

  • No, we do not have a minimum headcount just a wedding day service minimum value of $700 per artist. However you choose to meet that even if it’s just you is fine. We can round up if you're under so that we can still work together ! ( Trial, travel admin fee do not go towards minimum as they are not wedding day services.)

  • At the end of my services we will do touch ups & leave a standard touch up kit. If you’d like us to stay around throughout the day/evening with our concierge services for a fee of $75 per hour.

  • Yes! It's completely personalized & professionally packaged for future use to always remember your special day. ( Ie... not just a zip lock bag).
