Answers To Frequently Asked Questions
General
Grand Rapids, MichiganI also offer at home trials at an additional cost for my super busy brides that are unable to make the trip to me. I know life can get hectic (school, work, being a homemaker, running a business etc...) and with my average bride being at least an hour away from me, sometimes making space in your calendar or getting away long enough to have your trial done can be hard. I am always super understanding that my brides are human at the end of the day and with that in mind, I try to be as flexible as possible.
Yes, I do require a non-refundable retainer to secure and book your wedding date. The retainer is a percentage of your total costs, which includes the makeup services for everyone involved as well as travel expenses. For example, if the total cost for makeup and travel is $800, your retainer will be a percentage of that amount.Please note that the retainer percentage increases as your wedding date approaches. Below is a guide to the expected retainer percentages:Retainer Percentages:50% if booked more than 5 months before the wedding60% if booked within 4 months of the wedding70% if booked within 3 months of the wedding80% if booked within 2 months of the wedding
Venmo, & Cashapp. I do not accept cash for retainers or final payments, but cash is accepted for tips. Checks of any kind are not accepted as payment for retainers, final payments, or tips. There are NO EXCEPTIONS to this rule and you will unfortunately not be able to secure your wedding date if your preferred payment method is cash or check.
Yes. I do allow clients to use their own makeup. Including, but not limited to; foundation, lipstick, and powder. However, this does not affect the set rate, and a release of liability form must be signed. Please note that using your own products is not recommended, as I cannot guarantee their longevity or flawless application. It’s best to discuss any concerns with me in advance so we can find solutions that allow me to use the products in my pro-kit (or buy substitutions that I have worked with before) to ensure the quality and durability of your makeup application.
Due to the high demand for my services and the nature of my schedule, I kindly request that brides commit to a signed contract and full booking prior to scheduling a trial. This policy ensures that I can dedicate my full attention to each bride and allows for flexibility in choosing dates for consultations and trials.I completely understand if this arrangement doesn’t align with your expectations, and I respect your decision should you choose to explore other options. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and truly appreciate your understanding.
