What Is Required to book?

All reservations require a signed contract as well as a non-refundable, non-transferable retainer fee (as seen in my services tab). All clients are booked on a first-come first-serve basis. 

I highly recommend a bridal consultation and trial for every bride. This step ensures your wedding day look is perfect and you feel confident. To prepare, bring hairstyle inspirations, your veil and any accessories you plan to wear on your big day. It's the key to achieving your dream wedding look. Click HERE to see my prep guide.

Yes! Although I am primarily booked in hair I personally offer makeup servies to smaller wedding parties in additon to their hair services. For large bridal paries I typically bring on another makeup artist to help me complete all services in the desired timeline. Email me if you want more info!

Additional travel beyond 60 miles (round trip) from 54703 (Eau Claire) will be charged at a rate of $1.00 per mile. The date retainer fee covers 50 round miles of travel. In the event there are parking, valet or toll fees I have to pay, this amount will be due on the day of the event.

To ensure availability and a stress-free planning process, I recommend booking my services as early as possible. Bridal bookings typically begin up to 12-18 months in advance of the wedding date, especially for popular dates and peak wedding seasons. However, I understand that timelines can vary, so I encourage you to reach out as soon as you have a confirmed date in mind. This allows me to secure your reservation, plan the details, and tailor our services to your unique vision, ensuring a flawless and memorable wedding day.

Contract  Cancellations/Modifications

Clients are required to provide a minimum of 90 days' notice for cancellations of their reserved date. Failure to do so will result in the client being responsible for the full amount of services agreed upon in their contract. In the event that the bride cancels the contract before the 90-day mark, the retainer fee remains non-refundable, and an additional $150 cancellation fee will be applied. Should I cancel the contract at any time, regardless of the reason, the date retention fee will be promptly refunded. Please note that any modifications to the contract must be made through a revised agreement signed by both parties and completed prior to the 90-day threshold before the wedding date.

Payments

The final balance is due 2 weeks (14 days) prior to your event date. Amendments to the initial contract are available until 90 days prior to your wedding date.  After that, everything is locked in, and you are liable for the total amount as per the contract. 

Acceptable forms of payment:

Trials, add-ons, and fees - Venmo, Zelle, card (proccessing fee applies) or cash

Contracted service balance- Payment through the invoice link

Do You Have An Assistant?

Although I like to take as many services as possible myself, I may have additional makeup artists or hairstylists assist me in the case of large bridal parties or small time frames.  I can typically do around 12 maximim per event. For context, I have completed as many as 12 hair services before 1:30 at 2 separate venues on the same date, just to give you an idea on how efficient I am.

What time do we need to begin on the day of the event?

The timing for the start of services on your event day is flexible and tailored to your specific needs and schedule. I understand that every event is unique, and I work closely with you to determine the ideal start time to ensure everything runs smoothly and on time. Feel free to discuss your preferred timing during our consultation, and I'll make sure to accommodate your requirements to help you have a stress-free and enjoyable event day.

How long will hair take on the wedding day?

I typically spend 45 minutes on the bride for hair. Bridesmaids will take about 30 minutes each unless someone has abnormally long or thick hair. I prefer to do the bride toward the end so that she is the most fresh and camera ready.

Are touch-ups included for my entire bridal party? 

Yes! For every wedding I block off the last few minutes before leaving to ensure that everyone looks perfect! I will check for any loose pieces of hair or bobby pins while applying last minute hairspray to make sure every strand of hair stays in place and your makeup looks flawless.

Yes. I understand that sometimes there might be a member in your family or bridal party that asks if they can receive services on the day of. Please make sure to ask me first before adding them! All services that are added on must be paid ONLY by cash, card, or Venmo to me the day of. I will only take additional services if they fit within the timeline and are approved by the bride.

Why is gratuity added to my quote? What is your tip policy?

20% gratuity is added to all quoted services (except date retainer & travel fees). This ensures that I am fairly compensated for the personalized services, attention to detail and expertise I provide. For your convenience, there is no need to tip for day-of services, as the gratuity is already included in your quote- eliminating any extra hassle on the big day. (Please note: 20% gratuity does NOT apply to the quoted price for bridal trials, extension install, date retention fee and any travel fees.)

Yes. Wedding bookings have a 4-client minimum during the busy season/ on popular dates. If booking an individual appointment, simply inquire for availability 30 days prior.
