Frequently asked questions

You want to book your hair and makeup as soon as your certain of the date and time you’ll need it. Phoenix hair and makeup artists are very busy, we accept appointments as far out as 18 months! However, if it’s a last minute appointment, give us a call and we will see what we can do to fit you in.

To officially reserve your date, we require a signed contract and retainer. Dates are first-come, first-served and not held without both.

Many times brides secure us for their big day, but aren’t able to confirm the exact number of services at the time of booking. In these cases, it’s always best to book us for what you know is confirmed and add on services later up to 90 days before your day. Please let us know as soon as possible in order for us to secure additional artists if needed and/or include an early start time etc.

Yes — we use luxury, long-wear products that are camera-ready and built to last through tears, hugs, and hours on the dance floor.

We schedule 45–60 minutes per bridesmaid and up to 2.5 hrs for the bride. A finalized schedule is provided prior to the wedding to ensure a seamless and stress-free morning.

For makeup, some of our favorite brands are Makeup ForEver, Armani, Tom Ford, Charlotte Tilbury, Makeup by Mario, DIOR and Bobbi Brown. For hair, we really love Kenra, Color Wow, Big Sexy and L'anza. Part of what is so great about the beauty industry is the variety of options, so we can continue to test and try new products out to figure out the best ones to add to our kits.

May we suggest clip-in or halo extensions? If you want long, lush locks for one event, it’s best just to go with these type of extensions. It’s also great because next time you want that effect, you’ll already have them! Clip-ins and halo's are a great option for length and fullness. We have proudly partnered with HALOCOUTURE® and offer extensions for our brides wanting to go this route. Some hairstyles simply can’t be recreated without a halo or a few packs of extra hair, so feel free to ask us about our extensions. Hair color matching and consultations are always complimentary!

For a bridal preview, we recommend thinking about how your skin and/or hair may change before your big day. If you plan to do anything that could change your look, then it’s definitely best to have your preview when you’re going to be as close to your “day of self” as possible. Usually, this is between 30-60 days out from your big day. It’s also important to note that your hair and makeup should coordinate with your dress and vision for your wedding so having those decided on by your preview date is also extremely helpful in giving you the best experience possible.

Typically, each service during a preview or a trial takes between 1 hour - 1.5 hours. So, if you’re getting a hair and makeup preview, it will take anywhere between 2 and 4 hours to complete. This is due to the nature of the experience vs. the day of your event. As not only are you getting your hair and/or makeup done by a professional artist whatever the look you’re going for, but you’re also discussing your vision and needs, getting any of your questions answered about the day of, possibly adding hair extensions, and we’re getting to know you and the story of your love!

Previews are available Monday - Wednesday 8 am - 5 pm, as brides are our number one priority with weddings on weekends. Weekend sessions may be available outside of peak season (December - January and June - August) Sessions are held at our Queen Creek location. We also offer on location sessions for an additional travel charge.

You totally can. However, we really don’t recommend it. Your bridal preview is meant to show and test out your look for your big day and dedicate that time to creating your desired wedding day look. Most likely, you’re going to want a different look for your engagement photos, party or shower. And sometimes, brides don’t want their partner to see how they look before their big day. We offer hair and makeup for our booked brides at special pricing for engagement, boudoir, bridal shower and rehearsal.
