Everything you need to know before sitting in my chair.

Bridal FAQ

How do I secure my wedding date?

Your wedding date is secured once your signed contract and booking fee have been received.
Enquiries alone do not hold your date.

The booking fee is deducted from your total balance, with the remaining amount due 28 days prior to your wedding day.

Do you offer Bridal Previews?

Yes. Bridal previews are highly recommended.

Your preview is where we refine and confirm your complete hair and makeup look ahead of the wedding. This appointment allows us to perfect tone, structure, balance and longevity so that your wedding morning feels calm and seamless.

Previews are typically scheduled 3–6 months before your wedding date, and for late enquiries can be fit in based off of availability.

Is there a minimum booking for Bridal Parties?

Yes. A minimum of four services is required for bridal party bookings.

A bridal party can include; the Bride, Maid of Honour, Bridesmaids, Mother of the Bride, Mother of the Groom, Flower Girls, etc.

This ensures a structured timeline and a relaxed, enjoyable morning for you and your bridal party.

How long does everything take on the wedding morning?

To maintain a calm and refined experience:

Bride (Makeup only): approximately 1.5 hours
Bride (Makeup & Hair): approximately 2 - 2.5 hours
Bridesmaids / Mothers / Bridal Party: 45–60 minutes per service

A detailed timeline is created for you to ensure glam is completed with intention and without rush.

Do I travel for Bridal Parties?

Yes, I offer mobile services for bridal bookings.

Travel is charged at $0.99 per kilometre from my base location in Noranda.
For extended distances, accommodation fees may apply depending on location.
Early start fees may apply for commencement times before standard business hours.

Travel, early start, & accomodation fees will always be clearly outlined in your quote.

What are early start fees?

Early start fees apply when services are required to begin before standard business hours.

This accounts for extended working hours, early setup and travel preparation to ensure your morning remains smooth and stress-free.

What products do I use?

I use professional, long-wearing products selected for performance, photography and longevity.

Every product is chosen based on your skin type, tone and the environment (natural light, flash photography, stage lighting etc.). Hygiene and sanitation are always prioritised.

Can I recreate a pinterest photo exactly?

Inspiration is always welcomed and encouraged.

However, every face is unique. Rather than copying a look exactly, I tailor your glam to enhance your individual features while capturing the essence of the inspiration you love.

This ensures your final look feels authentic, balanced and timeless.

What if someone in my bridal party cancels?

If a member of your bridal party cancels, the minimum booking requirement still applies.

All changes must be confirmed in writing. The booking fee remains non-refundable as it secures your date exclusively.

Do you offer touch-up services?

Touch-up services are available upon request and can be added to your booking at an hourly rate.

If touch-ups are not booked, final refinements are completed before I depart to ensure longevity throughout your ceremony, photographs, and reception.

Event Glam FAQs

How far in advance should I book?

Event appointments are recommended to be booked as early as possible, particularly during peak seasons.

Last-minute bookings are welcome where availability permits.

Do you require a deposit?

Yes. A booking fee equal to 50% of the total service is required to secure your appointment time.

Your appointment is not confirmed until payment has been received.

Can I book hair only or makeup only?

Yes — you’re welcome to book hairstyling, makeup, or both depending on your needs.

How should I prepare for my appointment?

Arrive with clean, dry hair (washed the night before unless advised otherwise)
All clients must disclose allergies, sensitivities, or medical conditions.
Avoid heavy facial oils prior to your appointment & remove any heavy self-tan residue.
All hair removal treatments (including waxing, laser, threading or depilatory creams) must be completed no later than 72 hours prior to the scheduled service.
Bring inspiration images and a photo of your outfit

Preparation allows us to achieve the best possible result.

The Experience

Every service is approached with structure, intention and attention to detail.

Whether bridal or event, my focus is not just how you look; but how you feel sitting in the chair and walking out of it.

Calm. Refined. Confident.
