Frequently asked questions

Yes! It is possible to make changes to the number of services after signing the contract, as long as you meet our minimum. We require two (2) months’ notice of the final services so that we can properly accommodate your requests. Last-minute requests will depend on our artists’ availability.

Unfortunately no. The trial fee is separate and cannot be applied towards the wedding day services minimum.

We can! Extensions are a great way to add volume and length to your hair. We recommend the EuroNext 18-inch Clip-In Extensions or Design Length Remy Clip-In that are available at Sally’s Beauty Supply. You can go into the store and have them match you with the closest ones to your color. They run between $120 to $140. For length, get the 16 inch (medium length) or 18 inch extensions (long hair). If you don’t want long extensions, but prefer to add volume to short hair, you can purchase the 14-inch extensions. If you would rather purchase extensions online, we recommend Bellami or Luxy Brand Extensions and GoGo Brand. These brands provide more color options, and tend to be thicker/more hair per box, but also pricier. These would bethe best option for better quality and customer service experience, etc. We recommend sending them a picture of your hair in natural light so they can match you to the correct color. Please allow time for shipping.

We do not cut extensions but use them as is. We charge $25 to add extensions to your hair.

Yes! We do offer hair and makeup services for bridal parties. We have a 5 service minimum per artist for all weddings booking hair and makeup services on Friday through Sunday from April through November and a 4 service minimum per artist for advanced booking December through March. We have a 6 person service minimum when booking hair or makeup only. This does not include the trial fee, travel, or parking fees. Please note that pricing will be adjusted to fit our minimum for advanced bookings, which is two or more months from the event date. Please submit an inquiry for availability.

Option 1: To submit a signed contract and a 30% non-refundable deposit. The remaining 70% isn’t due until two weeks before your wedding. Then scheduling your trial 1-3 months before your wedding. Most of our brides book and put down 30% or $350 (whichever is greater) and then schedule a trial closer to their wedding date since they are more sure of their look/style etc.

Option 2: You can choose to book a trial (must be scheduled within 2 weeks), which will put a soft hold on your date until after your trial at which time we ask you to let us know about moving forward with us for your wedding day.

Our contracts and deposits are made via our booking software, Honeybook. Most of our clients reserve their date with a credit card.

We currently allow one year in advance booking for your wedding date.

For the bride, we reserve one hour for makeup and one hour for hair. For bridal party members, we reserve roughly 35 to 45 minutes for each service. Our artists typically arrive 15 minutes before the first appointment to set up. We prefer to keep the total time for bridal party hair and makeup to be about 5 hours or less. Bridal parties needing more than eight services usually require a second artist.

A second artist is necessary for larger groups or parties with time constraints. Each additional artist carries a $130 fee. MAB Artistry will make arrangements concerning the planning, scheduling, and traveling for the artistry team. We will also provide a hair and makeup schedule with the assigned artists two (2) weeks before the wedding.

We have a 5 service minimum per artist for all weddings booking hair and makeup services on Friday through Sunday from April through November and a 4 service minimum per artist for advanced booking December through March. We have a 6 person service minimum when booking hair or makeup only. This does not include the trial fee, travel, or parking fees. Please note that pricing will be adjusted to fit our minimum for advanced bookings, which is considered as two or more months from the event date. For rates, please view our Bridal Services page.

We use long-wearing, high-definition liquid, and cream foundations from pro brands such as Charlotte Tilbury, Face Atelier, Makeup Forever, Armani Beauty, Fenty, RCMA, and MAC Cosmetics. We also use waterproof mascara and eyeliner. We do have artists who specialize in airbrush makeup at an additional fee. False Lash Application is included in all our pricing.

We recommend that the trial be done two months prior to the wedding. However, if you feel more comfortable doing a trial as soon as possible or prior to booking your wedding date, we can accommodate your request. Please note that we will put a soft hold on your date until the time of trial, after which you will have 24 hours to book your wedding date. 

Bridal hair and makeup rates are higher on weekends, especially Saturdays in the spring, summer, and fall, due to the high demand and numerous inquiries we receive for the same date. It’s similar to how airline ticket prices rise during the holidays. We adjust our rates to ensure our team of artists is fairly compensated for working on these peak dates.

There are several factors that influence bridal pricing. First and foremost, we specialize in providing exceptional hair and makeup services for brides. We prioritize ongoing training to ensure we deliver the best possible experience, and we maintain a fully equipped kit with professional-grade tools to achieve flawless results. While we are happy to extend our services to the bridal party, the bride receives our primary focus, with extra attention, time, and care given during both her trial and wedding day to bring her vision to life.
In the lead-up to the wedding, we engage in detailed communication with the bride and/or her wedding planner to coordinate and finalize every detail.
Bridal hair and makeup is a luxury service. We take great care to sanitize, organize, and prepare our tools and supplies, ensuring a seamless beauty experience. By bringing our services directly to the bride—whether at home, a hotel, or the venue—we prioritize her convenience and comfort. We are passionate about our craft, and charging a fair price allows us to continue offering the exceptional service we love to provide while sustaining our profession.

Yes! Extended coverage and extra edited reels are available for an additional fee. Let us know your needs and we’ll customize your package.

You’ll receive a download link to access your full gallery of unedited content, along with your highlight reel, all within 24 hours of your event.

Content creation focuses on capturing real-time, candid, and behind-the-scenes moments specifically for social media. While photographers and videographers deliver highly curated, long-form content, our goal is to provide short-form, unfiltered, ready-to-share footage within 24 hours — ideal for Reels, TikToks, and Instagram Stories.

You’ll receive a mix of vertical videos and photos perfect for social platforms. Think quick behind-the-scenes clips, fun transitions, candid reactions, emotional moments, decor details, and more — depending on the nature of your event.

Your content is yours to share! We may request to showcase some moments on our portfolio or social media (with your permission), but otherwise, you have full control.

Absolutely! You’re welcome to send us inspiration or reference trends you love — we’ll incorporate as much as possible to match your vision and vibe.

We work with a wide range of clients — from beauty professionals and creatives to wellness brands and corporate teams. If you’re looking to boost your online presence with authentic, behind-the-scenes content, this is for you.

A bit of both! We’ll organically document interactions and moments as they happen, but can also guide and direct content based on your goals — whether it’s showcasing a product, service, or your team’s personality.

Definitely. We typically arrive early enough to capture all the beautiful details and behind-the-scenes touches before guests arrive, then transition into candid coverage of the event as it unfolds.

Everything from milestone birthdays and bridal showers to baby showers, launch parties, or intimate dinners. We capture the energy, setup, decor, and moments that make your event special.

Yes! We offer  in-person makeup lessons where we show you how to do a full face from start to finish, for individual lessons or group.
