About

Brushes & Brows is a hair and makeup studio in Suite 301 at 231 East Second Street, Clayton. The studio is open Monday through Thursday, 10am to 5pm, and works by appointment only, without walk-ins. Street parking is available along Second Street, avoiding yellow curbs, and downtown Clayton parking is free. Public lots are shown on a map on the FAQ page.

Bridal work is the studio's core. A Bridal Preview costs $400 and begins with a discovery call before the trial date, followed by a two and a half hour appointment covering a consultation, skin and hair prep, makeup with strip lash application, and hair styling with accessory placement. Bridal makeup and bridal hairstyling are each $250 and include customized prep, tailored work and a deluxe touch-up kit. Attendant services are $140 each. The studio says its rates reflect years of experience, and its lead stylists are joined on wedding days by a team of stylists.

Beyond weddings, the studio offers hair and makeup for formals, prom, wedding guests and nights out, along with photo shoot styling for maternity, headshots, boudoir and senior portraits. Photography packages start at $260 and include a consultation, prep, simple hair styling, natural to soft glam makeup, strip lash application and a touch-up kit. They cannot be booked for wedding or formal events. Add-ons include airbrush makeup, individual lashes, tattoo cover-up, blow outs, clip-in extension placement and men's hair grooming. SFX makeup is quoted on request.

Lessons suit clients who want to learn their own routine. A one-hour makeup lesson costs $150 and focuses on a topic the client chooses, with professional products to take home and a PDF of product links. A 45-minute skin care consultation costs $125 and includes sample products, taught application techniques and a sample bag. A three-hour skin and hairstyling lesson costs $450 and covers skincare, makeup and styling with professional products, tools and a deluxe sample bag.

Booking is first come, first serve, and a date is not confirmed until a signed contract and non-refundable deposit are received. Quotes are valid for 14 days and are reassessed after that. Peak wedding Saturdays from April to June and September to November need a minimum number of participants, and reserving those dates requires at least $1,200 in services before surcharges. Holiday surcharges start at $100 per artist, early starts before 8am add $75 per hour per artist, additional artists start at $250, and travel starts at $1.00 per mile round trip per artist. All prices are non-negotiable.

The studio aims to make every client feel welcome and to treat each person with respect and dignity. The goal is to help clients feel comfortable and confident in how they look for their events.

The chair experience is described as relaxed and friendly.
