Consultations and quotes are complimentary! Please fill out the form here to obtain a quote for your special day, engagement photos, or trial.

4. Do you offer group discounts?
I do not offer any discounts for services for parties of any size.
5. Why does the bride cost more? Why is there a fee if you are not working on the bride?
There is an immense amount of communication and preparation that occurs before the event to ensure you are heard, your goals and desires are listened to thoroughly, and everyone is on the same page. The higher cost includes the time that goes into ensuring your day runs smoothly because all the details have been ironed out long before. It also includes the travel cost within a 20 mile radius. If I am only working on your attendants, consider having them split the service fee.
5. Does that mean just my party & attendants can be serviced?
Yes! However, there is a fee if the bride or individual getting married will not be serviced.
6. Who is an attendant?
An attendant is anyone attending your special day that may need services. This includes but is not limited to, bridesmaids, parents, aunts and uncles, grandmothers and grandfathers, future in-laws, wedding guests, flower girls or children, ring bearers, and groomsmen. No matter needs a service, I’d love to help.

Sort of, please reach out if you have an elopement, microwedding, or are only hiring me for yourself for more details.

Absolutely, I encourage you to do whatever you need to be comfortable with your choice. However, your date is not reserved until a contract is signed. You will be notified and your deposit returned if someone books your date before the day of your trial.
11. How many looks are included in the trial?
Your trial is for one hair look and/or one makeup look. If you would like to preview more than one option for your hair and/or makeup, please notify me so I can schedule additional time, or book you for multiple appointments.
12. What do I bring to my trial?
I suggest you bring photos of your dress or wedding day outfit, makeup and hair styles that speak to you, and also examples of styles you do not like. I encourage you to bring your makeup bag so I can see the type of makeup and textures you are already most comfortable with. For sanitary and health purposes, please bring your own new or newer mascara to your makeup preview.
13. Can I bring my friends, family, or children to my trial?
Of course! If you are coming to the salon, depending on the day, I may ask that you limit friends and family to 2 people. If your child is under the age of 12 and not receiving any services, I ask that you obtain a sitter and enjoy the special time to yourself. All guests will need to remain masked for the entire duration of the appointment and to allow me to work without being disruptive.
14. What type of makeup do you use?

Just let me know! There are no discounts for not receiving lashes.
18. Do you work with all skin tones and hair types?

19. Are you able to cover blemishes?
Absolutely. Color corrections can be applied to the face where needed, however, please note that texture or raised area of the skin cannot be “corrected.” The skincare I use will properly prepare the skin for best possible application, however, it can not erase or minimize the size of anything. I cannot apply makeup to open wounds on the face. There is no makeup cure for dehydrated skin or puffy, swollen, eyes if you party the night before.

No, you are welcome to book me and my team for only hair or only makeup. If you do book us separately, I ask for their contact information so we can coordinate on the schedule.

23. How should I or my attendants prepare for the day of our services?
I highly recommend seeing an esthetician before your wedding day. Colorado is extremely dry, especially for our of town brides. I am not responsible for a lack of skin care preparation day of. I will provide a details and information that is to be sent to everyone in your party after signing your contract. In general, they need to arrive with a clean face, dry hair, and bring their own brand new water proof mascara.
24. Why does everyone need to bring their own mascara?
Brand new waterproof mascara right out of the tube, with the intended wand is ideal for your makeup application. There will be an additional charge for a brand new mascara if an attendant or bride does not bring their own NEW mascara.

While assistants are not always required for events, they always make my life easier.

34. What is an overtime charge?
Overtime charges occur when services are not done at the scheduled service end time to no fault of myself of my assistants. If things start late, attendants or party members are not ready with mascara in hand at their scheduled time, anyone sits down with their hair not 100% dry, additional services are added day of, someone changes their mind about their style or makeup and wants a change that runs over time, or any other issues arise there will be an overtime charge.

However, if there are any additional surprise fees that occurred day of I will have your card on file to cover them.
38. What if I or my attendants do not like our hair or makeup and want changes?
I would hate to hear that, but love honesty even more! If at any time you are unhappy, please speak up! I am unable to adjust anything about your look and style if I do not know you are not satisfied. We will find a solution and a style you love. Sometimes, what you love on a photo you do not love on yourself. For this reason, I highly recommend a hair and makeup trial so you can see what your desired styles look like on you.
If someone would like a change and there is time after everyone is done with their services, I am able to make adjustments to previously agreed upon hair or makeup styles. I do extremely thorough consultations and ask for photos of desired styles and of your attendants before the day of to ensure expectations are realistic and possible. Unfortunately, sometimes what someone likes in a photo they do not like on themselves. If there is additional time used because an attendant is not happy with their look, requests changes, or prolongs the scheduled time, there will be additional charges.
