FAQs
How long do the services take?
I have a minimum service time of 60 minutes for the bride and 45 min for wedding guests. while larger parties over 5-7 people including bride, are usually on a strict time schedule this time is standard which I do my best to abide by. Trials usually take on average 1.5 hours because during this time we’re covering everything and making the proper adjustments necessary to execute your wedding day look to exact perfection.
while I handle all day of timeline coordination with you, your photographer, and hair stylist punctuality is something I pride myself on and strive to factor in every minute utilizing your time and mine efficiently.
Where does the trial take place and what should I expect/prepare for?
I am onsite only, so I come to you. wether this be your home, a salon, a friend or family house. moms and friends can have trials too! Your trial day is the perfect time to have inspiration photos ready, your skin clear and clean of any makeup residue, your hair slicked back and away from the face and any counters or tables clear of clutter for products and equipment. I do provide all lighting and tools. *A reminder that pets and small children do need to be kept safely out of the way during our session to prevent any distractions and safety hazards.
I recommend scheduling your trial date to align with your hair trial, a bachelorette, shower or rehearsal dinner, If my availability allows. otherwise 1-3 month out from your wedding date is best.
How far do you travel and what is your travel fee?
The answer is anywhere and everywhere. For weddings and trial locations outside of 35 miles of my home in Maple Grove I charge $1 per mile round trip. otherwise an agreed upon flat rate fee will be given. For locations over 1.5hr - 2 hours additional travel and lodging will be applied at the brides personal responsibility. All reasonable travel expenses parking/valet, hotel, airfare accommodations will be billed to the bride and will be due at time of invoice sent.
What products do you use?
I have years of product knowledge and experience with all different brands and formulas, what works best for different skin types, longevity and finish. I use High End Luxury products ranging from Dior, Armani, Chanel, Hourglass, Makeup by Mario, NARS, Makeup Forever, Huda, Charlotte Tilbury, Patrick Ta, M.A.C, Este Lauder, Laura mercier, and for products like brows&mascara, Nyx, Lorreal and Maybeline have been equally comparative. Airbrush is also available on request. All lashes are included in each service and are custom individuals, clusters or strips.
My skin care product range and prep is customized for each person and their personal skin type and texture. I try to keep things simplified but offer recommendations of what and how to prepare your skin care routine before your wedding date.
*Most of my products In my kit are hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin, while before each application I always ask about allergies and sensitive skin to ensure client safety. I do my best to keep myself educated on what ingredients to be aware of and what to use when woking with allergy prone skin. The more information you provide me the better. Please be aware it is YOUR responsibly to know what is safe for you and what is not, and to communicate that with me immediately before any and all applications.
What is your Retainer fee and cancelation policy?
Deposit fee of $200 is due immediately upon booking to reserve the date. Retainer applies towards your wedding day services. All payments are non refundable, transferable. Cancellations made within two months of the wedding date will be billed 50% of the total service cost, cancelations made less than two months of the wedding date will be charged in full. This policy ensures that I can accommodate all clients fairly and account for the time reserved.- If a cancelation occurs by the artist, the artist will do everything/anything possible for an acceptable replacement, or a reimbursement for the day of services cost.
