Frequently Asked Questions
top questions
Yes, you should expect to spend at least $150 a face when booking for your wedding depending on the logistics of your wedding day.
Bridal pricing is not listed on my site because bridal pricing can be situational. Situational meaning that pricing depends on the logistics of your wedding day (location, ceremony time, total number of services, number of artists required, etc).
My studio is now located on the East End of Henrico County (Richmond, VA) one minute away from the Richmond Raceway. You will receive a separate email containing my studio address and appointment need-to-knows after booking. Please be on the lookout for this email as you will be asked in that email confirm receipt.
NO. Please do NOT bring anyone with you to your appointment. No boyfriends/husbands, no cousins, kids, best friends, etc. If you don’t drive, your ride will need to stay outside or drop you off/pick you up. Having someone else in my space while I am working diverts my attention away from you, as the paying client. If there is someone interested in learning my techniques, they can email me to set up a one-on-one lesson for a fee. I apologize for any inconvenience.
No. If you need to cancel your appointment, please contact me as soon as possible via email. However, the deposit paid is NON-REFUNDABLE.
YES! I need to know if you have any makeup related allergies. For instance, if you are allergic to latex, I would need to use an alternative lash glue on your lashes. If you fail to mention it and you have a reaction, I cannot be held responsible legally. Even if you’re not sure if you’re allergic but you’ve had some type of irritation with certain products, please let me know.
For traveling services, please run your computer mouse over the book online tab (website menu) and click “Travel Makeup Services” and complete the inquiry form. Once you submit that form with all of the details, I will email you a quote within 48 hours of receipt.
YES! I have done makeup for women of every shade, race, ethnicity, etc. For pictures of my work, please check out my galleries on this site as well as my Instagram and Facebook page.
No. All payments should be made via credit/debit card.
Yes, that would be much appreciated. However, it is not mandatory whatsoever. Brows frame your entire face. If your brows are not done, it will take away from your final makeup look.
Bridal
I will send you a customized proposal within 48 hours of submission based on the responses on your form. Instructions on how to select a package and book with me are all detailed within every proposal.
The easiest way is inquire is to complete my bridal inquiry form under the “Bridal Services” tab. Another option is to send me an email with all of your wedding details to (th*********@gm***.com). However, I will still redirect you to my form if you email me.
Short answer, yes. On most wedding days, time goes by EXTREMELY fast so we will not have time to waste. Booking a preview will eliminate any issues the day of so we can swiftly move through your makeup and you can enjoy your day.
During your preview, we will discuss what you desire to look like on your wedding day and I will actually do your maeup based on our discussion and your makeup inspiration pics.
Luckily, all of my bridal makeup packages include a preview so if you book your wedding day with me, you’re all set! However, should you decide to book the preview first before booking our wedding, should you decide to book with me, the cost will be deducted from your package total.
I will send you a proposal with all of my packages and details of each one. However, if you still want me to call you after seeing the packages and you have more questions, we can schedule a brief phone call.
Since every bridal client’s wedding details are different, pricing may vary depending on the circumstance.
For example: I am currently based in Richmond, Virginia, however, a bride wants me to travel to do her and her bridal party’s makeup in North Carolina AND finish service before 11am.
Obviously, the North Carolina bride’s pricing would be very different than a bride needing service in Richmond, VA who doesn’t need to be finished with service until 3pm.

COVID-19
Great question. Fortunately, I have always maintained a clean, sanitized work environment. However, with the present situation, I have added a few more safeguards to protect my clients and myself.
– Clients should wear a mask upon entering my studio or work space. The client will take off the mask once the skin products need to be applied.
– Clients will be required to use hand sanitizer upon arrival to my studio or work space.
– Lead times in between appointments will be extended to ensure the space is adequately sanitized before the next client arrives.
– I will be wearing a mask, gloves so don’t be alarmed!
– Nothing new, but clients CANNOT bring anyone with them to their appointment. NO kids, NO family members, NO significant others, etc. NO EXCEPTIONS.
Photo Shoots
I most certainly can. Just keep in mind, there is a higher cost for traveling appointments.
Short answer – it depends. Please email me withall of the details of your shoot. For instance, I need to know if you need multiple people serviced or if you want more than one look, etc…
