FAQs
How soon should I book my event/trial run?
Typically I suggest you book no later than three to four months before your event day.
Where does the trial run take place and how long does it typically take?
The trial run will usually take place at your home or a venue of your choice. As a freelance artist my kit and services are completely portable and travel to you!
What should I bring to my trial?
Anything you think would make the trial go smoothly. Images of makeup ideas you like are a useful jumping off point to create your event look.
If I’m happy at the trial, what is the process for booking?
In order to secure your date I require a $100 deposit for your services. Along with the deposit, you will be asked to sign a contract. The contract protects you to ensure that I will be on-location on the day of your event. All final contract payments are due 1 week from your event date.
Can I make changes to my contract once it is signed?
If you would like to add services and as long as I can accommodate you, that is not a problem. Deletions of services once the contract is signed are not permitted and no refunds are given for unused services. You can replace a person’s service with another if necessary as long as you let me know before the event day. So this is why it is highly suggested that you know for sure—at the signing of the contract—how many of your attendants will be getting services.
Why can’t I delete services and receive a refund?
Clients book my services very far in advance—sometimes a year out. That means I book for your event ONLY and those dates/times are taken off my booking calendar for your date. They are dedicated to you and your party and take no other weddings or work that day except for yours and that is why deleting services last minute or even months before is not permitted.
Can I simply pay for the trial?
Of course. However, your date is not secured until a contract has been signed and the deposit has been paid.
What forms of payment do you accept?
I accept cash, check, Venmo, and Zelle.
Do you accept separate payments from bridesmaids?
No. As the bride you pay all deposits and final balances, and it is your responsibility to garner payment from your bridal party.
Should I tip?
Tipping is never required but it is always very much appreciated! Industry Standard is 20%. Please tip cash only.
How far do you travel?
Travel and mileage fees may apply depending on your location and the date of the wedding if outside a 1 hour window from Plainfield, IL.
What makeup products do you use, and how are they sanitized?
I use professional grade cosmetics that are held to the highest standards to be camera ready. All product/brushes are sanitized and disinfected with 70% alcohol between uses. Brushes are deep cleaned at the end of every event and separate brushes are used to each party member in order to have a safe and clean environment.
