Frequently asked questions
You may be wondering about some things
Booking & Availability
When should I book my date?
I always recommend securing your date as early as possible, as my calendar books quickly. Please note that I accept reservations up to six months in advance, so once you’re within that window, it’s the perfect time to lock in your date.
How do I reserve my date?
Start by submitting the inquiry form. I’ll follow with a personalized proposal, and once you accept it, you’ll receive your invoice. Your date is officially booked once the deposit is paid—dates are not held without a deposit.
Can I schedule a phone consultation before booking?
Absolutely. If you have additional questions or would like more clarity, I’m happy to schedule a quick phone consultation to walk through any details or concerns.
Trials & Preparation
Do you recommend a trial?
Yes — a trial is required. It’s an essential step in making sure you feel confident, comfortable, and excited about your wedding day makeup and hair. It also allows us to make any adjustments beforehand so everything is flawless when it matters most.
Where do trials take place?
All trials are held in my private studio in Houston. They include a full consultation, customized look, and product recommendations.
What should I bring to my trial?
Bring inspiration photos, details about your dress or wardrobe, and any accessories or veil you plan to wear. Arrive with clean, dry hair and a moisturized face.
On the Day Of
How long do services take?
Allow approximately 60-90 minutes per service for individuals and 90–120 minutes for bridal applications. Larger parties will receive a custom timeline to ensure the morning flows smoothly.
Do you travel on location?
Yes. I travel throughout Houston and surrounding areas. Local travel has a flat fee, with additional mileage quoted in your proposal. Out-of-town and international travel are available with a consultation.
Do you offer services for large bridal parties?
Yes. Depending on the party size, I may bring a team of artists to ensure we stay on schedule and maintain quality for every guest.
Do artist require anything for on location appointments?
All we require is ample table space for our kits and a comfortable area to work. Each artist needs approximately four square feet of space, along with access to a nearby power outlet.
products & experience
What products do you use?
I use a curated selection of professional, camera-ready products chosen for longevity and skin health. All products are sanitized and customized for each client.
Can you accommodate all skin tones and hair types?
Yes. My kit and training are fully inclusive. I take pride in providing an excellent experience for every complexion and texture. If for any reason you have very sensitive skin and would prefer any of your own products please advise me and I will accommodate.
How should I prepare before my appointment?
Once your appointment is confirmed, I’ll send a detailed “Prep Guide.”
Please arrive with clean, dry hair; wet or unruly hair may result in an additional fee.
For makeup, follow your usual skincare—just avoid sunscreen.
Do not wax within 7 days, and avoid new products or treatments to prevent irritation.
Do you provide extensions?
No, we do not provide extensions but we can give you recommendations based on your needs and desired look.
Can I bring my own extensions?
Yes, you may bring your own extensions. We can install and style 100% human-hair clip-in extensions for an additional fee.
If you already have extensions professionally installed, those are perfectly fine as well.
Do you provide blow-outs?
NO, our stylists are not always equipped with blow dryers. If for any reason you arrive with wet hair, and we have to blow dry it, it will be an additional fee.
policies & details
What happens if I’m running late?
A fifteen-minute grace period is provided for individual appointments. After that, service time and deposit may be forfeited to keep the day on schedule.
Do you offer touch-ups or a second look?
Yes, touchups are provided before the artist team leaves the venue. Additional time, or second-look services can be added to any package and will be detailed in your proposal.
What forms of payment do you accept?
All invoices and payments are handled securely through HoneyBook. Payment plans are available for bridal packages upon request.
