​Where are you based out and do you travel?

My home studio is located in La Puente, CA and I offer to travel for on-location services as well as destination weddings/events.  Travel fee will apply for any on-location services.

​

What is included in a trial session? 

A hair & makeup trial (1 hair + 1 makeup) is a 2.5 to 3-hour consultation where you’ll meet your day-of-event artist and see your complete hair and/or makeup look as if it were your actual event day. Having that peace of mind is so important for your wedding day so you can feel confident knowing exactly how you’ll look and feel on your big day.

​

This session allows you to test, tweak, and perfect your look, ensuring it aligns with your vision. It also helps both you and your artist streamline the process, eliminating any last-minute stress on the wedding day. Plus, you’ll get a sense of how long your makeup and hairstyle will last, allowing you to make any necessary adjustments in advance.

​

We encourage you to ask questions, stay open-minded to suggestions, and, most importantly, be honest about any changes you’d like to make. This is your moment to ensure you love your final look—so don’t hesitate to speak up! Our goal is for you to leave your trial feeling excited, confident, and like the best version of yourself.

​​

​

Am I able to do a trial first before booking for the day-of wedding?

Yes, if you prefer to see the trial results before making the full commitment, you can definitely do so! If you decide to book after the trial, the trial fee will go towards which ever package you decide to book for the wedding.

​​

​

Would I be able to combine my trial session with engagement session?

Scheduling your engagement photoshoot on the same day as your trial session is a great idea! This allows you to see how your hair and makeup photograph professionally before the wedding day. Since professional photography can sometimes wash out makeup, we apply it slightly heavier to ensure it looks flawless on camera. By doing this, you’ll get a better sense of how your look translates in photos and can make any necessary adjustments for the wedding day.

​

Please keep in mind that if you decide to do your trial session the same day as your engagement photoshoot, you will have the same look for both engagement + wedding photos.  If you want to switch up your hairstyle for the engagement look, you can add-on that additional service.  Please refer to the À La Carte menu for pricing details.

​​

​

How early do we need to start getting ready for the day-of wedding?

The start time would depend on the ceremony start time, if you are taking any pre-ceremony photos (first look and/or getting ready), and the total services you wish to book for the day-of. Typically, the bride takes about 3 hours and additional guests takes about 1.5 hours for both hair and makeup.

​​

​

What is included in the bridal touch-up kit? 

The touch-up kit includes a small sample of the lip color and/or gloss used for your makeup look, a lip applicator, q-tips, bobbi-pins, and oil-blotting sheets (for the oily skin type), and setting powder with puff.

​​​

​

Is additional touch-up services necessary?

Touch-up services are optional, as the bridal services includes a touch-up kit to help maintain your look throughout the day. I am confident that your hair and makeup will hold well, provided you follow the recommended prep instructions leading up to the wedding. However, if you've diligently followed the prep steps and still find that your trial hair or makeup does not have the longevity you desire, then I would suggest considering the addition of touch-up services for extra peace of mind.

​​​

​

What kind of makeup products do you use?

I use products that range from luxury to prestige and even drugstore brands.  All products used ensure high quality, longevity, and are hypoallergenic.  If you have severe allergies to certain types of ingredient(s) and/or brand(s), please notify me before the appointment.  

 

Giorgio Armani , Charolette Tilbury, Danessa Myricks, Rare Beauty, Dior, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Hourglass, Givenchy, Patrick Ta, Natasha Denona, Fenty, Huda Beauty, Tower 28, Tarte, Glossier, Viseart, Ardell, MAC and more.

​​

​

Do you provide airbrush makeup? 

Yes, I do offer airbrush makeup; however, I prefer working with traditional makeup because it provides more flexibility while still achieving a flawless, airbrushed look. Airbrush makeup may not be the best choice for dry, textured, or mature skin, as the spray application sits on top of the skin rather than blending seamlessly into fine lines and texture the way a foundation buffing brush does.

​​

​

Would you recommend getting eyelash extensions or will you provide false eyelashes? 

I recommend not spending extra on getting eyelash extensions done since the makeup service already include eyelash application for strip and/or individuals.  Eyelash extensions tend to get dirty during makeup application with powder/cream products applied near the eye area.  If you prefer to have eyelash extensions for your wedding and afterwards (honeymoon), I don't mind working around them, but please be open to having a light coat of mascara (waterproof of course) applied to your natural and extensions for cleaning up the excess product.  If you plan on getting eyelash extensions, try getting it done 2-3 days before the event to avoid fall-outs.

​​

​

Do you provide clip-in hair extensions?

Unfortunately, extensions are not included in the bridal package. However, I’m happy to provide recommendations on where to purchase high-quality extensions. If you decide to use them for your trial and/or wedding day, there is an additional fee. Please refer to the À La Carte menu for pricing details.

​​

​

Do you provide eyebrow grooming? 

Eyebrow grooming is included with the makeup application.  Eyebrow razors are used to shape brows and eyebrow scissors are used to trim excess hair that are too long.  If you prefer to go to your normal threading/waxing salon to get your eyebrows groomed, that works too.

​​

​

Do you recommend getting a haircut, hair colored, or facial before the event? 

Normally, I would not recommend getting a haircut/trim before your appointment since some hairstyles require max amount of length to achieve the most accurate look.  Unless you have very thick hair that needs to be thinned out, please consult with me before doing so.  Hair coloring could be good for your hair to bring a dimensional look to your hairstyle.  If you wish to get a facial before your appointment, try to get it done at least a few days to 1 week before the appointment (depending on how your skin reacts) so your skin has some time to heal and renew as a fresh and smooth canvas -- ready for an even more flawless makeup application!

​​

What forms of payment do you accept?

I accept payment in form(s) of cash, check, Venmo, Paypal and Zelle (Chase).  Please note that balances do not include gratuity for your artist(s).  The amount of gratuity will be based on your satisfaction with the overall performance of the services.  It is not required to pay gratuity, but it would be appreciated knowing that you were pleased with the services provided.
