Trial Questions:

  • Although trials aren’t mandatory, they are recommended! This gives us a chance to meet, discuss your style, and try out your vision.

  • Plan for about an hour to an hour and a half.

  • I recommend 3-4 months out from your wedding date.

  • I take trials on weekdays and limited Sundays. All trial appointments are taken at my studio in El Cajon.

  • Come with a clean, bare face and inspiration photos!

    Please make sure to bring inspitation photos of MY work - every MUA has a certain style to offer!

Wedding Day Questions:

  • Make sure to allow at least an hour for Bridal Makeup and for all others (Guests, Bridesmaids, Moms, Juniors) please allow 45 minutes.

  • Once the contract has been signed, that number is not subject to change. I plan the day based on that number of people and plan the need for an assistant based on that number.

  • The need for an assistant is based on the number of services. My maximum number of solo services is 6, so for any larger parties, my assistant will be required at an additional cost.

  • We can add on the assistant service if required, but this all depends on availability. This is why it is always best to have your set number of girls/services at the time of booking.

  • Trust me, we understand they are beautiful and make for the best photos, but venues fail to let you know that you typically don’t get access to the bridal suite until around 11.

    With a large bridal party that timeline becomes highly unrealistic for hair and makeup.

  • You can always book an AirBnB (more ideal for space and lighting) or a hotel room the night before to get ready in and then head to the suite afterwards.

Booking Questions

  • Yes, when booking expect to put down a retainer and a signed contract to secure your date. Holding off can result in you unintentionally losing the day and me as your vendor!

    You do have a 24 hour grace period from the time the contract has been sent to sign and pay your retainer, otherwise your date is void and becomes available for others to book.

  • Absolutely!

    But this is on a first come first serve basis, and with an abundance of inquiries rolling in from 2020/21 postponements, nothing is secured unless your contract is signed and the deposit has been made.

  • Cash is best! Pay cash and I will love you forever, even though I already will.

    I also accept Venmo and Zelle - please note that payments via Venmo must add the 2% service fee to their total invoice.
