Can I have a hair and makeup trial before confirming the booking?
We advise scheduling a trial session if you have any reservations about your choice of vendor. This will allow you to gauge compatibility and style before the big day. However, it's important to keep in mind that your wedding date will not be secured with the talent until a deposit payment has been made.
Can I opt to not have a trial?
Trials are beneficial for testing products and perfecting hair and makeup looks ahead of the wedding day, but they are not mandatory. If you choose not to have a trial or if your schedule does not permit, we can arrange a detailed conversation to discuss your desired look. This ensures that you feel confident and prepared for your special day.
How do I know which talent is best for me?
If you’re uncertain about which talent best fits your needs, please send an inquiry. One of our bookers will contact you with suitable options and recommendations.
Do your talent charge travel fees?
Yes. Travel fees are calculated based on the duration required for the talent to reach your venue. These fees account for the time spent traveling. If the talent incurs any travel expenses, these will be quoted separately for your review. Travel expenses include costs such as flights, accommodation, and transfers necessary to reach your destination.
How long does hair & makeup take?
When planning your beauty routine, it's essential to consider the time allocated for both makeup and hair styling. Typically, we recommend setting aside at least 1 hour for makeup application. This duration allows for a thorough process, ensuring that every detail is attended to, from foundation to lash application.
For hair styling, the time required can vary significantly based on the desired look, the length of hair, and its density. We generally suggest anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes for hairstyling. Shorter, simpler styles may take less time, while intricate updos or styles requiring more product and precision will need the full hour.
To create a tailored schedule that best fits your needs, please provide as much detail as possible in your inquiry about the specific looks you want. Information such as the occasion, any preferred styles, or inspirations will help your booker recommend the ideal timeline for your beauty preparations.
How does your pricing work?
All of our talent set their prices independently, resulting in varying quotes based on their skill and expertise. As a guideline, a hair or makeup service starts at $200 per person, or $400 AUD for both hair and makeup. Most talent requires a minimum call-out of at least four services plus a travel fee. For international and destination weddings, we provide quotes based on a day rate rather than a per person rate. Photography pricing begins at $4950 AUD for a 6-hour package.
What kind of products do your makeup use?
Our talents are all unique, and their kits reflect that individuality. Each artist uses premium products from renowned brands such as Giorgio Armani, Chanel, YSL Beauty, Fenty Beauty, Hourglass, Rhode, Clarins, NARS, Urban Decay, BECCA, Clinique, Charlotte Tilbury, KKW Beauty, NARS, Westman Atelier, RMS, Kevyn Aucoin, L’Oreal, Ilia, Stila, Oribe, and MAC. They curate their selections based on your specific skin type and complexion during the trial consultation process. With a suitcase filled with options, they ensure that every need is addressed. If you have a particular brand or product you love, just let us know, and we will ensure it is included in their kit.
