Sam Rose Beauty

Sam Rose Beauty works on site, going to the bride's home, a hotel, or another wedding venue, and is based out of a studio in North Easton. The business says it has worked on more than 500 weddings and has 15 or more years of experience. A travel fee may apply depending on distance from the home base, and the business presents its wedding makeup services for the Brockton, MA area.

Trials are a central part of the process. A pre-wedding trial starts with a conversation about the wedding theme, the dress, and the look the bride wants, then builds the full wedding day look. The trial also shows how lighting will affect the makeup, and adjustments are made during the appointment. Weekend trials from January to March are suggested during bridal season, and trials should be booked at least three months before the wedding.

The Bridal Beauty package is for parties of six or more and includes full face makeup and a pair of lashes, with a choice of airbrush or traditional foundation, at one all-inclusive price. Bridal party makeup is available in group packages for bridesmaids, the mother of the bride, and other family members, and the business accommodates parties of any size. Makeup styles offered include natural and dewy, classic elegant, bold and glamorous, and soft and romantic. Each look starts with an analysis of the client's skin type, tone, and features, and products are chosen with photographs in mind.

Wedding day hair styling is provided by traveling hair stylists. Each stylist needs a minimum of five services to secure a date for onsite work, and additional stylists for a larger party carry a $150 fee each. A date is reserved only after a signed contract and retainer are received. Early booking is recommended, and some brides book up to 18 months ahead. Free consultations include full pricing details. Payment is accepted by Venmo, credit card, and cash. Gratuity is not included in bridal rates, and tips can be given to the artists in cash or by Venmo on the day of service. Clients are asked to arrive with a clean face and clean hair. Bridal inquiries go through the wedding inquiry form.

Makeup lessons are taught at Beauty Haus Studios in North Easton, MA, in individual and group classes starting at $175. The lessons cover choosing good-quality brushes, learning one's skin type, and building looks gradually. They are open to beginners and to people with more makeup experience.

Each look is customized after analyzing the client's skin type, tone, and features, with style preferences discussed before the wedding day and products chosen for how they will photograph under the lighting conditions.
