From my clients to Makeup and Hair by Elsa

If you have a question… I got an answer! Keep reading!

How can I book your services?

To secure your artist(s) for your requested date, we require you to sign our contract and make a deposit of 50% of the total service. The rest of the balance is due 30 days before your event.

Is it okay if I don’t know how many services yet?

100%! We can finalize the number of services no later than 8 weeks before your wedding date.

When is an Additional Artist Needed?

Depending on the amount of services needed + the timeline on your big day. We want to ensure all artists are receiving at least 5-6 services.

What should I bring to my preview appointment?

If you have already chosen your wedding accessories, such as a veil, earrings and/or hairpiece, bring them with you to your preview/trial. This will help us to determine the best hairstyle to complement your accessories. It is best to wear a white or light-colored top, that will give you a better idea of how your makeup and hair will look against your wedding dress. If you have a shirt with the same neckline even better!

Will my makeup last all day?

Our professional makeup artists and stylists know all the tips and tricks to set your wedding makeup so it lasts all day, even in the hot summer months. We use setting sprays, powders, blotting papers and water-resistant products, and we provide a touch-up kit to keep you looking fresh.
