-
Most of my bridal bookings are booked about a year in advance.
-
I highly recommend scheduling a bridal preview appointment, and I offer bridal packages that include a preview appointment. I also accommodate requests to book a preview appointment separately, but this option does not reserve the wedding date or guarantee availability.
-
You should expect to be in the bridal makeup chair for 1-1.5 hours and to spend another hour or so having your hair styled. Exceptionally full hair and styles requiring a lot of heat styling or extensions require more time.
Bridal makeup and hair styling are premium, luxury services that involve more products, intentional techniques, and precision than standard services. The process ensures that your bridal looks last as long as possible and can withstand heat, humidity, and emotional moments.

I do not offer airbrush makeup application. I prefer the look and finish of cream and liquid makeup formulations, and I work with a variety of different professional makeup brands and formulas, choosing the best option for each individual client.

I am able to accommodate up to 10 people for hair and makeup or 20 services total. Each makeup application and hair styling service counts as a separate service.
Note : For bookings with more than 6 services or tight timelines, I schedule 1-4 additional stylists.

Yes, I have experience with all skin types and textures. Check out my gallery pages to see some of my work on various skin types.
-
Absolutely! I have experience with styling naturally curly hair worn down or in updo styles. I also have experience with straightening curly hair if necessary for the requested style.
Note : Proper prep is super important for my naturally curly brides, so please be sure to communicate your natural hair texture and your desired style when booking! Including example photos is always great as well.
-
Please thoroughly cleanse and blow dry your hair the evening before your booking.
I have products to add texture or a bit of grip as needed to achieve hold and volume, but dry shampoo can only do so much to revive dirty hair. Also, hair that has been previously heat styled often doesn’t hold a new curl pattern as well as clean, dry hair and may even fall flat when exposed to a second round of heat styling.
-
Fresh clean skin is the perfect canvas for your professional makeup application. Light hydrating serums and a bit of moisturizer after cleansing is perfectly fine. However, it’s best to avoid applying exfoliating or “brightening” serums or acids as well as excessively heavy moisturizers or sunscreens just before your booking.
Also, please be sure to schedule any waxing for at least a week prior to your booking. Any more intense or long lasting treatments such as microneedling, exfoliating facials or peels, injections, microblading, or brow tinting should be done even further in advance to minimize the risk of skin sensitivity or a reaction impacting your makeup application.
