SERVICE NUMBERS

How many people can you do hair and makeup for on my wedding day?

I work alone, and not part of a team. It depends on the time you need to be ready, but my bookings are generally capped at a maximum of 7 services. A service is per person, hair styling OR makeup. (Hair and makeup for 1 person is 2 services, hair and makeup for 3 people would be 6 services.) Some venues won’t permit hair and makeup to start before a set time, so that restriction needs to be factored in where applicable.

Is there a minimum number required for mobile services?

A minimum booking of services to the value of $700 is required for all Saturday and mobile wedding services. If you have a small bridal party or the number of people in your booking reduces, you will still be required to meet the minimum charge, regardless of the actual number of people in your booking.

This minimum doesn’t include travel fees, surcharges, or the cost of a trial, as the trial is a separate service held on a different day and is treated as a distinct service.

Unsure about numbers or what styles people would like?

It can be hard to know early on what you or other people would like, so don’t be stress about that at this stage. The main thing to know is the service value can’t go below the minimum service value, and that I can’t do more services than there is time allowed for on the day. For now, you could just put roughly what services you think you’ll need, and other details can be confirmed by email.

I love your style but my bridal party is too big. What are my options?

For large bridal teams, I recommend you have another stylist so one can do hair, the other makeup. You don’t necessarily have to choose straight away whether you’d like me to do hair or makeup for you. Once you’ve locked me in, I can recommend other hair or makeup artists for you to choose from and I’ll be able to fit in with what you need.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

My service extends beyond just creating beautiful hair and makeup
I work hard to go the extra mile to help you be ready to walk down the aisle. It starts with giving you advice on choosing the right style for you, how to prepare your skin and hair in the lead up to the wedding and helping you with creating a getting ready timeline. On the day it’s sometimes setting a 4am alarm for very early morning starts, helping you get into your dress, doing up buttons, helping your Dad with his buttonhole, keeping the calm or embracing the loud! I have your best interests at heart, so you can breathe and enjoy because I’ve got you covered.

HAIR

For the bride, I will add in your own extensions, trimming face framing into shape, hair padding for upstyles, veil and accessory placement.
If anyone in your bridal party wishes to use their own extensions, a surcharge will apply to cover the additional time required for the style.

MAKEUP

On the day, each person will receive one makeup application and be provided with touch up lip colour. Full makeup includes the usual applications to the face area and lightly to upper neck only. False lashes are included if desired. Mini Makeup services includes light foundation, soft makeup style only. No bold or bright lips, liquid eyeliner, or false lashes.

HAIR EXTENSIONS

If your heart is set on having your hair down but it doesn’t hold curl well, you have fine hair or it’s not very long and would like a full bun/upstyle, then I recommend clip in hair extensions. Many of the inspiration images we see use hair extensions to make the style achievable. No one will even know you have them in! I recommend Zala extensions. They’re great quality, very reasonably priced and I have colour swatches to match you at the trial so you can order yourself directly from Zala.

Will my makeup and hairstyle last all day?

Ensuring long lasting hair and makeup is my priority. I use professional products and techniques so that your makeup and hair will last all day and night. Factors such as your skin and hair type, the weather affect how well it lasts as does how well you look after your makeup and hairstyle. If I am creating an upstyle for you, then absolutely your hair will stay. Any soft tendrils around your face will soften naturally during the day. With a downstyle, unfortunately there’s no way to guarantee the longevity of your style.

What brands do you use in your kit?

My makeup kit is filled with professional and luxurious products. Some of my favourite makeup brands are M.A.C Cosmetics, Melli Cosmetics, Danessa Myricks, Atelier Paris, Anastasia Beverly Hills, RCMA, Estée Lauder, Kryolan, Embryolisse and Skindinavia. For those who love faux lashes, I have a wide variety of strip and individual lashes by Helen Dowsley and ModelRock. For hairstyling, I use and recommend De Lorenzo Haircare styling products. You’ll find Dyson Professional, Evy Professional, GHD, MUK, and Babyliss hot tools in my kit.

BOOKINGS AND PAYMENTS

What are your prices?

My rates are listed on this page, above the FAQ section.

What are your Terms and Conditions?

Every business needs to have some terms and conditions to ensure we are on the same page and to ensure our safety and more. I operate fairly and my terms and conditions are in line with consumer law and fair trading.

To provide the best protection for us both, my terms and conditions are quite detailed and are too lengthy to include here. When you are ready to make a booking, I send a unique, secure browser link to the Service Agreement (contract) which includes the full terms and conditions. After you’ve read them thoroughly, you have the opportunity to get in contact with me if you have any questions or need further clarification.

What is required to make a booking?

Bookings are date specific and require a formal booking: paying a non-refundable booking fee of $300, as well as a signed Service Agreement.

The Booking Fee is an administration fee to cover my time spent in relation to you securing a booking, any pre-wedding communication, wedding day schedule and all other correspondence and phone calls. The Booking Fee is your commitment to booking my services exclusively for the Service Date. Once I accept your booking, I decline requests for my services for that date. This Booking Fee is deducted from the booking total.

Are you able to hold my wedding date for me?

To ensure fairness to anyone who enquires, I operate on a first-come first-served basis and a date will remain available for someone to book until a formal booking has been made. I aim to maintain integrity in my booking process and use this approach to provide an equal opportunity for all.

What is the payment schedule?

The final balance is due no less than 4 weeks before the wedding date. I do not accept payments from individual people in your bridal party or split payments.
