Question 1

Do you travel and is there a fee?

Accepted Answer

Yes. $1.00 per mile each way starting from my home in Kunkletown, PA 18058.

Question 2

Is there a minimum number of people required for on site bridal makeup?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there is a 4 person minimum for on-site bridal makeup services (Bride plus 3 people).

Question 3

Do you create a schedule for the day of the wedding?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I create timeline which includes arrival time/set up, time slots for each bridal party member, and a finish time. I do offer final lip and powder touch ups before leaving. Typically, timelines are sent out a month before your wedding to confirm the number of makeup services and hours of service.

Question 4

Am I responsible if someone in my bridal party backs out at the last minute?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this is in the contract. You must confirm the number of people that are receiving makeup services when you send your contract back. You can always increase the amount of services, but not decrease. The full contracted amount will still be due. Substitutions of friends or family are allowed to fill in if bridal party members back out.

Question 5

How do I book my wedding with you?

Accepted Answer

Your wedding date is secured by signing and returning a service agreement, along with a non-refundable retainer of $300.00. The retainer goes toward the contracted amount. The remaining balance of the total price is to be paid ten (10) days before the event. The makeup trial is not included in the retainer amount as that is a separate service. Trials are required for all brides. No date or services are reserved until the signed agreement and retainer are received. Inquiries and trials alone do not hold your wedding date.

Question 6

What are the next steps after I send over my retainer and signed agreement for my wedding?

Accepted Answer

The next step is to schedule a trial so we can get acquainted and discuss how you envision yourself on your special day. I recommend scheduling your trial 3 months before as your skin is generally in the same condition as it will be on your wedding day.

Question 7

What happens during the trial run?

Accepted Answer

After a thorough consultation to asses your skins needs, allergies, and skin sensitives your face will be prepped with skin care to ensure your makeup is both natural looking as well as long lasting. I write down all the skin prep and products used during the appointment so come wedding day we have a blueprint to work from. I book out the appointment for 1.5 to 2 hours. Trails are done on a Sunday in salon only. I have a chair Allentown, PA or Stroudsburg, PA (which ever location is convenient for you). When we’re done I will take some photos and I will send them to you as well.

Question 8

I’m not ready book just yet, can I still schedule a trial run?

Accepted Answer

Of course; choosing a makeup artist for your wedding day should not be a rushed process. This gives us the opportunity to make sure we are a good match on a personal level as well as technical skills. I strongly advise scheduling within 2 weeks as trials alone do not hold your date. Payment for the trial is due in full in order to secure your appointment. The service is non-refundable once completed. If you need to cancel your appointment please give me 24 -48 hours notice and I will refund you.

Question 9

How far in advance should I book my date?

Accepted Answer

I would say that as soon as you know when your wedding date is and have the venue picked. The recommended booking timeframe is 10-12 months prior to your wedding.

Question 10

Can you accommodate larger bridal parties?

Accepted Answer

I will do the best I can to accommodate you and your bridal party. I can accommodate 7 people by myself to keep getting ready down to no more than 6 hours. If you book far enough in advance, I will do my best to recruit a secondary artist (at a fee) to assist me with your bridal party or if you are working in a short timeframe. Having a secondary artist ensures that everyone’s makeup is completed on time. I never like to compromise quality for quantity!

Question 11

Are there any other additional fees?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Early Morning Fee-Makeup Applications Before 7am | $50 per hour Holiday Fee (per artist) | $50 Additional Artist Fee (per artist) | $200

Question 12

How do you take payment?

Accepted Answer

I accept cash, check, Zelle and Venmo for your convenience
