Question 1

How far in advance should I book with you?

Accepted Answer

For weddings I recommend booking as soon as you know your date and have the wedding venue secured. I only take one wedding a day so my availability is very limited. I have some people who book over a year in advance and then some lucky ones who book a couple months before their wedding.
 
For in studio makeup appointments, facials, and brows I open up my online calendar for bookings 120 days in advance. If you need an appointment further out please inquire with me!

Question 2

Do you have a minimum amount of services to book a wedding?

Accepted Answer

For on-location weddings I require a minimum of 3 adult services to be booked. Ex. Flawless Bridal Makeup Package + 2 Bridesmaids(or Moms). 
I do offer a Bride Only On-Location package for my half day rate of $500. Please fill out my contact form to learn more about this option.

Question 3

Do you require a retainer to book with you?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I require a non-refundable retainer to be paid to book any appointment with me. The amount varies depending on the appointment you are booking.

Retainer Payments -

On-Location Weddings - 30% 
In-Studio Bride Only - 50%
Facial/Brow - Card is kept on file and will be charged in the event you either No-Show ($60 fee) the appointment or Last Minute Cancellation (less than 48 hours $25 fee). If you do not want your card saved on file I will send an invoice over for 50% of the total as a retainer payment for your appointment.

Question 4

What payment methods do you take?

Accepted Answer

I accept cash, Venmo/CashApp, and any credit/debit card payments. For weddings you will receive an invoice to make payments on.

Question 5

How far do you travel?

Accepted Answer

I LOVE traveling! The farthest I have gone so far for a wedding is Cabo San Lucas. I am passport ready and fully capable of packing up my kit for flying. 
Please keep in mind there may be travel & lodging fees for locations farther than 2 hours away. But I am always open to talking it through about your desitination wedding and making it work with your budget.

Question 6

Can you accommodate large wedding parties?

Accepted Answer

I limit my self, personally, to a total of 5 faces at a wedding. But I have a wonderful network of makeup artists that work with me in both the Tulsa and Oklahoma City areas. I will add them on when there are 6 or more in a bridal party. This will cut your wedding getting ready time in half!

Question 7

Where do you take appointments at?

Accepted Answer

Appointments take place at my studio in Tulsa. I am located at 51st and Harvard inside the SpiritBank building. If you are needing me to come to your location for a special event appointment or wedding a travel fee may apply.

Question 8

What if I want to schedule a trial run before actually booking my wedding with you?

Accepted Answer

We can also do a trial run before fully committing to each other. You will just pay the cost of the trial ($200) and I recommend scheduling it ASAP as your date is not held until the contract is signed and the remaining retainer balance is paid.

Question 9

How long does a makeup appointment take with you?

Accepted Answer

I am definitely a perfectionist so I like to take my time. For special event appointments I typically plan 90 minutes. At weddings I plan 90 minutes for a bride and an hour for everyone else.

Question 10

How do you keep all your products and tools sanitized?

Accepted Answer

I am very passionate about keeping my things clean and sanitary! I hand wash all my makeup brushes after each use and disinfect the brush handles every time. I use a stainless steel palette that I sanitize in between clients. The palette is very important because I can place products on it that I should not be double dipping in, such as concealers, lip products, and powders.

Question 11

How long will my makeup last?

Accepted Answer

Your makeup will last until you wash it off! The products I use are all long wearing since I specialize in bridal makeup. If you do happen to cry or sweat just remember to blot away moisture. Do not rub or wipe the moisturize. I also recommend to avoid touching your face as much as possible. Our hands naturally have oil on them so if we are rubbing and touching our face the makeup could potentially move.
 
For brides a touch-up kit is included with the option to upgrade the touch up kit.

Question 12

What makeup brands do you use?

Accepted Answer

I use a ton of different brands ranging from professional only, to luxury to consumer products! The brands you will see in my kit are Charlotte Tilbury, Temptu, Estee Lauder, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Danessa Myricks, Dior, Givenchy, Natasha Denona, Face Atelier and more.

Question 13

Do you do Bridal Hair as well?

Accepted Answer

No I do not, hair has never been my thing. I can send a list of bridal hair stylists I highly recommend in Oklahoma upon request.
