FAQs

How do payments work?

Payments are broken down as such: $600 non-refundable retainer pre-pays for your trial appointment and is due at signing. The remaining balance is due 14 days before the wedding date. Bookings less than 30 days before the wedding day require payment in full.

Where do you do your trials?

Trials runs are held in my home studio in Woodbridge, VA on weekdays between the hours of 10 am and 2 pm and are scheduled for 3 hours.

Do you do hair or makeup for bridal parties or moms?

While I specialize in bride only packages for a relaxing and luxurious wedding day experience for my brides, I do offer up to four total additional hair and/or makeup services for bridal party members.  This keeps the wedding morning from taking an excessive amount of time and allows me to focus on my bride. I do not have a team of artists to assist me. Packages are available to include up to five additional people for makeup only or hair only bookings. 

What if I only need makeup or hair?

I offer a flat rate hair only or makeup only package that includes wedding day services for the bride and up to five additional people along with the preview session for the bride.​  If you require less than that number of services, the package price is not reduced.  However, additional touch up hours may be added in lieu of services.

Can I do a trial before booking?

Trials are reserved only for brides already under contract and are meant to be a preview of the wedding day look and refine your hair and makeup so the wedding day flows smoothly and without stress.  They are not to try my services to see if we fit. Should you require an in person appointment for services in addition to my portfolio and reviews to make your decision, you are welcome to schedule a regular weekday studio appointment.  I’m more than happy to work with you for other pre-wedding beauty events!
