How long does a hair and makeup service take?
Hair and makeup require a window of 1.5 to 2 hrs include set up and pack up time and may vary depending on complexity of style. I take more time on the bride (for bridal makeup services) the bridal party is styled first and the bride is done three quarters of the way.
All my products are long lasting, water proof and humidity resistant. It does not matter who sits first for hair and makeup because we touch up everyone before we go.
What do I need to do to prepare for a hair and makeup service?
Clients are encourage to have inspo photos or an idea of the look and direction you want to go with hair and makeup but I am always happy to make a professional suggestions as well if you don’t have an exact look in mind.
For hair and makeup:
- Please cleanse and exfoliate your skin is dry, please apply a moisturizer before bed time.
- Drink water to hydrate your skin because hydrated skin means cake-free long lasting makeup. Reminder that water is good but optimal hydration is the key.
- All styling is done on dry hair. It’s extra time we didn’t account for and might run behind. Please make sure that your hair is 100% dry before I arrive. Best to wash the night before or morning of if hair gets oily over night. If your hair type is very curly or frizzy please blow dry or straighten it to smooth it out the day before your appointment.
- Wear loose fitting button up or a robe so you don’t smudge your face taking it off (optional)
Put your contacts in if you wear them to save time before the service start.
For the bride and bridal party, make sure to share these tips so everyone can have their best hair and makeup day.
- A touch up kit available for only $15 which has all kinds of goodies to keep your makeup fresh including lipstick, powder, powder puff, mirror, blotting paper, lash adhesive, facial tissue and makeup remover. Please let me know if you want to purchase so I can prepare for you.
Are lashes included?
Yes always! I have different lash style from natural to full volume that you can choose from.
Do you provide all products necessary for hair and makeup?
Yes, you don’t need to bring anything! Unless you have a specific product that you wish to use like skincare products or lipstick.
Note: If we use the client’s desired product and not my own, I cannot guarantee the wear time or outcome if I am not familiar with it. The products in my kits are chosen and curated to perform best under all circumstances.
What if I don't typically wear makeup?
I offer bespoke hair and makeup service and that is not a problem! I am happy to customize your makeup to be as soft and natural as you like and feel comfortable with.
Do you provide hair extensions?
No, I do not provide hair extensions. Client will need to provide the extensions and bring them to your appointment. Hair must be human hair for us to work with it (style, heat, curl)
Do you do large groups/parties?
Yes but it depends on the number of people in your bridal party and the amount of time you have in the morning to get ready. I usually hire another stylist to help out so we can finish on the scheduled time.
Is gratuity included?
Gratuity is not included but always appreciated.
