GENERAL QUESTIONS

Q: Why should I book a professional hair and makeup service?
A: Booking professional hair and makeup ensures you feel confident, polished, and truly yourself. We not only enhance your natural beauty but also make sure your look is long-lasting, no matter what the day brings. You’ll also have a stress-free experience, knowing that you’re in expert hands. We have an eye for detail, customization, and the right techniques to create a flawless, timeless look that suits you perfectly, all while saving you time and energy. It’s about investing in yourself and your experience.

Q: How long does a makeup and hair application take?
A: Makeup can take anywhere from 30-45 minutes and hairstyling can take anywhere from 30 to 1 hour. It all depends on what you’re looking for and the prep that would be needed!

Q: How far in advance should I book with you?
A: To ensure we can accommodate your date and provide the best service possible, we recommend booking as soon as you're ready. Our schedule tends to fill up quickly, especially during peak wedding season. Booking early will give you peace of mind, knowing your spot is secured.

Q: What’s the difference between airbrush foundation and traditional foundation?
A: To be perfectly honest, with how cosmetics are formulated now -there is not much difference anymore between airbrush foundation and traditional foundation. It comes down to the artist specifically and their preferred medium. Much like a painter, one person may prefer acrylic paints and another watercolor!

Q: Do you have travel fees?
A: We have a standard travel rate of $0.75/mile after 25 miles from our studio in Hopkins, MN. No travel fees if you are coming to our studio in Hopkins, MN.

Q: Do you travel out of state or out of country?
A: Yes we do! Please inquire with us to get a more detailed quote!

WEDDING QUESTIONS

Q: How do I book your team for my wedding?
A: In order to book we require two things: a signed and completed contract and a $500 non-refundable retainer to officially put your wedding on our calendar! The retainer is non-refundable and non-transferable and does go towards your wedding day total. Inquiries do not reserve your date, neither does booking only for the “trial before booking”. Due to the demand we are unable to inform clients when other inquiries are made about their event date -so we recommend booking as soon as you can!

Q: Can I book a trial before signing a contract?
A: Yes you may! The cost would be $250 to have a trial before booking with Lisa (makeup only) and $150 to have a trial before booking with the team (hair or makeup). Just keep in mind this does not guarantee us (as a team or the specific artist) being available for your event date.

Q: What about a trial for my mom (future mother in law, sister, aunt etc)?
A: They can definitely book a trial as well! The cost for a trial for a wedding party member would be $150 - hair or makeup!

Q. Do you offer touch-ups for the day?
A: We do offer quick 15 minutes of touch ups at the end of the scheduled services. Otherwise if you’re wanting extended services (like into the ceremony for example) it would be $50/hour per artist with a max of 5 hours. This would be calculated with a 1.5 hour break at the end of the initial morning services to the designated time. The hourly rate includes the application itself, our time, and mileage traveled to the next location for touch-ups. Touch-ups are not look changes, if you are looking for a completely new look then the special events rate would come into play on top of the hourly rate. Touch ups are dependent on artist availability.

Q: Can I make changes to my booking after signing the contract?
A: Yes, you can always add on additional makeup or hair services -but you cannot remove. If you’re unsure about someone wanting services, please exclude them and add them on later! If the getting ready location needs to be changed, that’s ok -we will re-quote the distance if needed! And do not worry about the timeframe we can easily adjust that need be.

Q: Okay, so is there a cut off for when I can add services?
A: You can add services up to 120 days before the wedding. We like to have pretty much everything set in stone at this time for us to work on your timeline and to coordinate with your other vendor team!

Q: What other fees should I be aware of?
A: All fees listed above (Holiday, Early AM and Relocation) and a $15/15 minutes of delay on the wedding day if someone is not ready at their given time slot.

Q: Is gratuity included in your pricing?
A: No it is not. I’m a firm believer of a tip being reflected from how your service was. If you feel like your artist did an amazing job, please tip them directly by cash or venmo

PAGEANT QUESTIONS

Q: How do I book your services for the pageant weekend I’m competing in?
A: In order to book we require a 50% non-refundable retainer to officially put your event on our calendar! The retainer is non-refundable and non-transferable. Pageant season does overlap wedding season, so I would book as soon as possible if you are certain about hiring us for your pageant competition!

Q: My daughter is only a pre-teen and doesn’t require a ton of makeup, do you have different rates for this?
A: Yes we do! The rates we have posted are for the JR Miss / Miss division. Please inquire directly if you have a pre-teen or younger contestant for a more accurate quote!

Q: What is your experience with working in the pageant industry?
A: We have provided hair and makeup for the Miss USA Minnesota division twice, Miss USA Wisconsin once, Miss USA North Dakota once, and are the recommended hair and makeup providers for the Princess of America Great Lakes division! We have also worked exclusively with Brittany Link Photography for many photoshoots.
