Q:I have a large bridal party, will you be able to accommodate everyone the morning of my wedding?
A:Of course! Emily and I have wonderful assistants to help us accommodate large bridal parties!
Q: How long will each service take?
A: We prefer to block 30-35 minutes per makeup application and 30 minutes per hair service. These times are subject to change if there is an intricate hair or makeup style. We will help you form a makeup and hair schedule before your big day!
Q: When should I schedule my hair and makeup trial?
A: This is completely up to you and your comfort level! We've had brides schedule as early as a year or as late as a couple of weeks! We usually schedule trials on Saturday afternoons from 2pm-6pm but if this timeframe does not work for you, please contact us and we can figure out a date and time that works for everyone.
Q:Is there is a travel fee?
A: We are located at 27 S. Northwest Highway, Park Ridge IL 60068. Any on-location services beyond 10miles of our salon will be subject to a travel fee. $1.50 per mile, after 10 miles, roundtrip. Feel free to contact me for more information on the travel fee for your area.
Q: Can my bridal party and I get ready at your salon?
A: Yes! We have a large room for bridal parties to get ready in! You're welcome to bring food and bubbly to celebrate the morning!
Q: I don't wear a lot of makeup and I'm worried I won't look like myself. Can you achieve a natural look for me but still make me look glam for my big day?
A: I get this question from most of my brides and the answer is OF COURSE! You want to look like yourself for your big day! Unless otherwise instructed, I will always start off light with makeup, and then build up from there. The "natural glam" look is my specialty! That being said, I can always create something smokey and dramatic to fit your makeup wants and needs! During your bridal trial we will discuss your customized makeup look for your big day!
Q: I have my own hair stylist but I'd still like to book you for makeup, is it possible to book makeup without hair services?
A: 100%! If you already have a hairstylist in mind you can book just makeup services. You can also book hair without makeup.
Q: Is it possible for my mom and or bridesmaids to have a makeup or hair trial?
A: The more the merrier! Contact me about booking a trial together.
