Frequently Asked Questions
I know that world of wedding hair and makeup can be a daunting one. Here are some questions frequently asked by my brides to browse through. Hopefully, these might be useful but please don’t hesitate to contact me if you didn’t find your answer below.
Bridal Experience & Preparation
What do you offer to help brides stay organized leading up to the wedding?
To ensure a stress-free and seamless experience, I provide a customized wedding timeline during our consultation, tailored specifically to your schedule and needs. You’ll also receive periodic emails to make sure every detail is accounted for throughout your planning process. Additionally, I share expert tips on skincare, hair care, and overall bridal prep to help you look and feel your best. For even more guidance, be sure to check out our Bridal Beauty Guide, filled with everything you need to prepare for your special day.
Do you offer bridal previews or trials?
Absolutely. Bridal previews and trials are part of the elevated experience I provide for my brides. One of our bridal packages already includes a trial, and you also have the option to add one later if you wish. Trials are reserved exclusively for booked brides, ensuring a dedicated and personalized experience.
For the most seamless results, I recommend scheduling your trial one to two months before the wedding. This allows everything we create together to remain fresh and memorable for us both. To bring your vision to life, it’s essential that you bring your bridal outfit and jewelry, so we can craft a complete and true-to-day preview of your look.
How much time does the bridal application take?
Our full bridal experience typically takes about 3 to 3.5 hours, which includes makeup, hairstyling, jewelry placement, and dupatta setting. Every detail is customized to you, and sometimes it may take a little longer—especially if you’re wearing a nath (nose ring), jhoomar, multiple dupattas, or have any special requests.
To ensure everything is perfected with ease and without feeling rushed, we ask our brides to arrive at least four hours before their “ready by” time. This allows us to create a seamless, luxurious experience while incorporating all the little details that make your look truly yours.
How should I prepare my skin for makeup?
Arrive with a clean, moisturized face (no makeup or SPF). We recommend exfoliating your skin and lips 24-48 hours prior to your appointment for the smoothest application. Completing any facial waxing or threading should also be done 24-48 hours in advance.
Do I need to bring anything to my appointment?
Yes, it is mandatory to bring your outfit and jewelry to the appointment, even if you plan on changing later. This helps us create a cohesive look.
Services & Travel
Do you travel out of state or internationally?
Absolutely! I love bringing my artistry to brides everywhere, both out-of-state and internationally. For destination weddings, travel and accommodations are arranged in advance, ensuring a seamless and luxurious experience for you on your special day.
What makes you stand out from your competitors?
What sets me apart is the experience I create for my brides. From the moment you sit in my chair, it’s not just about makeup-it’s about giving you a calm, luxurious, and memorable start to one of the most important days of your life. I dedicate unrushed, personalized time to each bride, ensuring every detail is thoughtfully perfected.
My signature style focuses on enhancing your natural beauty, so you’ll still feel like yourself-just the most radiant, elevated version. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, I customize every look to complement your features, personality, and vision.
While many artists can do beautiful makeup, my brides appreciate not only the flawless, long-lasting glam but also the stress-free, pampered experience that makes them feel confident, comfortable, and truly special.
Products, Skin & Safety
What brands of makeup do you use?
I use only high-quality, professional-grade makeup to ensure your look is flawless, long-lasting, and photograph-ready. My products are carefully selected to suit all skin types and complexions. In addition to premium products, I maintain the highest standards of hygiene, using disposable applicators, alcohol sprays, EPA-approved cleaners, and disinfectants to keep every item safe and pristine.
I have sensitive skin or allergies. How do you accommodate my skin concerns?
Every client’s skin is unique, so there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. During your consultation, I take the time to ask detailed questions about your skin, sensitivities, and any allergies. This allows me to tailor every product and technique to your individual needs, ensuring a flawless, comfortable, and safe look on your special day.
What are your sanitation procedures?
I believe that luxury isn’t only about how you look, but also how safe and cared for you feel throughout the process. Every step of my application is designed with your health and comfort in mind. All powder products are carefully sanitized with 70% isopropyl alcohol, cream products are professionally depotted onto a pristine palette, and each client receives a freshly cleaned and disinfected set of brushes. Sponges are always brand new and never reused, giving you a completely fresh, personalized experience. My goal is to provide you with the peace of mind that your beauty experience is as safe and indulgent as it is flawless
Booking, Payments & Aftercare
How do I book?
To ensure your inquiry doesn’t get lost, please reach out via email rather than DMs. The best way to get in touch is by filling out the contact form on my website—this helps prevent messages from going to spam. I typically respond within 24–48 hours, with the exception of weekends, which are reserved for appointments.
When is the final payment due?
The remaining balance must be paid in full on or before the day of your event.
What do the touch up kits include?
Each touch-up kit is thoughtfully curated with a customized lip color sample, a powder puff, mints, a makeup remover wipe, and all the essential applicators you may need throughout the day. For my brides, I love to elevate the experience with a few extra indulgences—such as additional powder, lash glue, and even some bobby pins—so you feel beautifully prepared for every moment.
Studio Policies
Can I bring a guest to my appointment?
Only clients who have booked a service are permitted to enter the studio. We do not allow additional guests, males, or children. An exception may be made for a guest at a $50 fee, but they must remain in a separate room.
What is your cancellation policy?
Cancellations made within 60 days of the event will be charged the full service amount. Deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable.
What happens if I am late?
A late fee of $50 will be charged for every 30 minutes of delay.
