Bridal Hair & Makeup FAQ
How far in advance should I book bridal hair & makeup?
Most brides book 9–12 months before their wedding date, especially for popular Saturdays during peak season. A good rule of thumb is to book your venue first and then hair & makeup within the first 4 things you book after securing your venue.
If your date is coming up faster than that, reach out anyway — I may still have availability.
Your trial (I actually refer to it as a bridal preview) is where we test (or preview) your full hair and makeup look together before the big day. This helps the wedding morning feel like a rehearsal, not a first attempt. I highly recommend it, especially if you're not used to wearing much makeup day-to-day and if you think you'll experience decision fatigue by the time the wedding day arrives. The trial is not required if you'd rather skip it.
If you plan on having bridal portraits done before your wedding day photos we can coordinate your preview to coincide with your bridal portraits (based on availability).
What happens at a bridal trial and do I need one?
What affects the total price of my bridal hair and makeup?
Your final quote depends on a few things: your location (travel fees apply outside Waco), the size of your bridal party and which services they're booking, your venue entry time and photo ready time as well as any optional add on services you've selected. I'll go over exact pricing with you during your consultation.
When needed, I have a dedicated group of talented beauty professionals (hair and makeup artists) that I work with. If extra artists are needed I will source and schedule the artist so you don't have to. If I am able, I will complete the services myself.
