Yes! In fact, we highly encourage scheduling a bridal trial. Not only does a trial allow you to perfect your wedding-day look, but it also gives you the opportunity to get to know your stylist and feel confident and comfortable before your big day.bFor the best experience, we recommend scheduling your first trial approximately 6–8 weeks after booking to begin exploring your vision and confirming your preferred look. We also recommend a final trial 2–3 months before your wedding day to refine any details and ensure everything is exactly as you envision it.

Yes—winter weddings are very popular in Detroit and Ann Arbor, especially at historic venues and downtown hotels. Our artists adjust products and techniques based on the season, focusing on skin prep, long-wear makeup, and hairstyles that hold up through indoor and outdoor conditions.

Many Detroit weddings take place in downtown hotels, historic buildings, or large event spaces. These venues may include valet parking, larger layouts, or specific access requirements. Our team plans arrival timing carefully to ensure a smooth setup and stress-free timeline.

Michigan’s seasons can vary significantly, so we tailor each bridal look accordingly. For colder months, we focus on hydrating skin prep and styles that hold under layers. For warmer months, we use long-wear, lightweight products and styles designed to last through outdoor photos and celebrations.

The booking retainer is $250. This is collected along with your booking agreement to secure your date on the books.  

The $250 booking retainer is non-refundable. Of this amount, $200 will be applied toward your final wedding day services balance.

Absolutely—the more the merrier! Many Michigan weddings include larger bridal parties and extended family, especially for cultural or multi-day celebrations. We use a team-based approach, bringing multiple artists as needed to keep your timeline organized, efficient, and stress-free. For parties larger than 15 people (not services), please inquire so we can coordinate the best setup for your group.

We base our services on a 4-6 hour time window. We bring adequate number of staff to ensure that all services are done in this time frame. Time and staff allotted is also based on the amount of services in the party. In most cases, the time you need services completed by is dictated by your photographer and or planner. We start with the time services need to be completed and work backwards to set your services start time. 

You may request an additional stylist to be added to your wedding day in order to have services completed in a shorter timeframe. Additional stylists are subject to availability and fees start at $250, depending on the services, timeline, and staffing needs of your event.

Please note that a minimum of $600 in services is required for each additional stylist added. Pricing may fluctuate based on your specific timeline and service requirements. We strongly encourage coordinating any staffing changes well in advance, as adding stylists closer to the wedding date is often not possible due to scheduling limitations.

When you complete your Services Agreement after booking, you’ll be asked to provide inspiration photos and details about your desired wedding day look. Our team carefully reviews this information and matches you with the artist or artists who are the best fit based on your style, service needs, and team availability.

Approximately 6–8 weeks after booking, we will finalize your services, assign your wedding day team, and schedule your bridal preview. This allows us to thoughtfully pair you with the stylist best suited for your vision while ensuring availability for both your preview and wedding day.
