Booking starts with an inquiry form. If the date is open, a booking link is emailed, and a phone chat can be arranged for questions. The studio then sends a detailed questionnaire and selects the artists best suited to the bride's preview and wedding day. Looks are designed through a three-touch consultation process that the bride works through with the team.
Packages scale from a bride-only option to large party setups. The Bride Only Hair and Makeup package is priced at $800 and includes one artist, a deluxe bridal touchup kit, complimentary lashes and travel. The Select Edit Package at $1,000 covers the bride plus three people for hair only or makeup only, with a customized timeline and two hours of roundtrip travel. The Main Character Package at $1,750 covers the bride plus three people with one hairstylist and one makeup artist. The Inner Circle Package at $3,100 covers the bride plus seven people with two hairstylists and two makeup artists, and includes scheduling built for large parties.
Brides can add hair and makeup services up to three months before the wedding, depending on timing and availability. Upgrades are welcome, but downgrades are not allowed once the agreement is signed. Preview sessions, priced at $350, are reserved for booked brides and usually take place around the two-month mark. The official hair and makeup start time is set about four weeks before the wedding day. With a standard bridal party, the day typically starts between 7am and 9am.
Spray tans are offered in a private studio. Each one is matched to the client's undertone and includes a consultation, professional application, detailed finishing and aftercare guidance. Clients are asked to exfoliate and shave 24 to 48 hours beforehand, wear loose dark clothing, and arrive free of lotions, perfumes and deodorants. Spray tans are available for brides, bridal events, special events, vacations and everyday clients.
Each bride moves through a multi-point consultation, from an inquiry form to a detailed questionnaire and then to artist selection for the preview and wedding day. Looks are designed through a collaborative process built around how hair and makeup will hold up on the wedding day and in photographs.
A small team whose signature styles stay consistent no matter which artist works on a client.
