FAQ / POLICIES

+ What is your Bridal policy?

A booking minimum of adult services is required for WEDDING MAKEUP AND HAIR on location Friday to Sunday. Junior bridesmaids and flower girls do not count for minimum services. The farther your venue the higher the number required.

If your venue opens late or want to skip booking an Airbnb, we can host you and your party at our studio in North Dallas with NO extra cost.

Early ceremony = early finish time = early glam start = early morning fee

The products we use are highend and luxury like Sephora and professional brands you find in Makeup Artists stores.

No matter the size of your wedding or ceremony, any bride is under this rate. We appreciate your honesty.

A travel fee will apply for wedding parties outside our studios. Please fill in our contact form for an exact quote.

Please consider an extended travel fee if your venue is in the outskirts of DFW Metroplex or Ft. Worth, Weatherford, and beyond area, or out of State.

Solo Bride on location without a Bridal Party add on: +$175 For brides booking makeup and hair services without a bridal party that do not reach our minimum to travel, a solo bride rate applies. This fee ensures that your appointment receives the same level of dedicated time, expertise, and luxury experience as a full bridal party booking. It accounts for the exclusive, personalized service provided by our team, including the time blocked off for your appointment and preparation. Travel rate not included.

This policy allows us to accommodate solo bridal bookings while maintaining the high-quality service and seamless experience that every bride deserves on her special day.

Conditions and dates apply.

Additional Artists: $200 per additional artist will apply beyond the first artist to meet timeline requirements like a shorter glam time.

Early Morning fee: $50 rate per artist per hour before 8 am start time. We know you do not want to get up that early, and neither do we...consider your makeup artist wakes up 2 hours before start time to arrive to your location. This is an add on for any parties which start before 8 am. So if your ceremony is at 12pm, you are in a time crunch, or have to be ready before noon, consider early fee.

Second location tear down / set up: $150 Short on time at your venue but still want to enjoy your bridal suite? Don’t worry! We can begin your bridesmaids’ glam at your Airbnb or hotel and then complete—or start—yours in the comfort of your beautiful bridal suite.

Holiday Fee: $100 per artist applies to weddings scheduled on Federal Holidays and recognized festive occasions. This fee compensates for the additional scheduling adjustments required during peak demand periods, ensuring our team is available to provide exceptional service on these special dates.

Federal Holidays include, but are not limited to, New Year's Day, Memorial Day, President´s Day, Easter, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Festivities may include major celebratory weekends and other widely observed events.

This policy ensures our artists are fairly compensated for working during holidays while maintaining the high standards and personalized care our bridal clients expect.

Sunday fee: $100 per artist applies to all bridal makeup and hair services on location scheduled on Sundays. As a professional bridal beauty team, we dedicate extensive time and effort to ensuring every bride receives a flawless experience. Since Sundays are typically reserved as a day of rest for our artists or for personal commitments, this fee compensates for their availability on a non-standard workday.

By booking a Sunday wedding glam session, you are securing a dedicated team that will provide the same exceptional service, attention to detail, and personalized care as any other day.

We value your special day and are committed to making sure you look and feel your absolute best—no matter the day of the week!

+ Is a Bridal trial a must?

Your bridal trial is optional, but we highly recommend a trial run before the wedding. This is the time to choose wedding the exact look you want, so that on your day, it can be mastered and applied efficiently. A trial run also gives you the chance to photograph yourself in the makeup look and see how you feel! Trial appointments are booked like any other appointment and are not included in wedding package or added to minimum services. Family members trials are booked as another separate appointment. Our prices do not include trial.

As early as you need it. Consider early morning fee $50. Rate per artist per hour before 8 am start time. We know you do not want to get up that early, and neither do we...consider your makeup artist wakes up 2 hours before start time to drive to your location.

There is an additional fee for these assistants, ensuring we can deliver flawless makeup and hairstyling for your entire bridal party efficiently and beautifully. Let us make your special day perfect for everyone involved!

+ Why is the trial rate the same as wedding day?

It may seem is the same, but let´s do girl math...trial takes 3 hours so $300 / 3 = $100 per hour...on wedding day it will take 2 hours so $300 / 2 = $150 per hour.

During the bridal trial, the makeup artist and hairstylist dedicate more time than on wedding day. This includes consultation, testing different looks, and making adjustments to ensure that the final result is exactly what the bride envisions. The process is more time-consuming than wedding day itself.

The bridal trial is an essential part of the preparation process, allowing the artist to perfect the bride’s look. The same level of professional skill and expertise, high-quality products, and precision is applied during the trial as it will be on the wedding day to ensure consistency.
