Frequently Asked Questions

There no such thing as a dumb question, and navigating wedding planning can be really overwhelming – I totally get it! Always feel comfortable reaching out with any questions you may have, but to aide in the decision making process, here’s a few FAQs!

Q: How long have you been doing makeup and hair?

A: I picked up my first makeup brush in 2012, but I’ve been working as a professional bridal artist since 2018!

Q: Where are you located?

A: Our team is primarily based out of the Alexandria MN and St Cloud MN areas, however we are more than happy to travel for our couples! Travel beyond 2 hours, or past 1.5 hours with a start of 7am, will incur mileage and hotel/lodging for our team the night before the wedding to ensure we are onsite bright and early.

Q: Do you offer makeup or hair?

A: BOTH! While I (Ashley) am trained in both makeup and hair, we have talented associates that specialize in makeup or hair. Krysten is our trusted associate makeup artist, Susan and Marissa are our trusted hair associates. We can service small and intimate bridal parties, or have the full team along to service larger groups as well. Hiring one team for your big day can ensure the flow of the day is seamless.

Q: Do you have minimum service requirements for booking?

A: Yes – we do require Bride + 5 Bridal Party members/family members per artist to book with our team. Essentially if you’d like (1) makeup and (1) hair artist, we would require (6) makeup and (6) hair services. If you have less than the required (5) members of the bridal party, you’re also welcome to cover the additional services to meet the minimum.

We are also more than happy to service just the bride, and have built packages that account for a more intimate morning, while still meeting our minimum requirements. Connect for full details!

Q: Do you offer partial services such as “only eyes” or “pinning without curl prep”?

A: No. In my opinion, if you have selected our team as your trusted beauty vendor, we want to complete the service start to finish to create the best experience AND ensure the most longevity and quality. Half services are not a quality experience for you, and so we refuse to do partials.

Q: My venue doesn’t open until 10am, can we change getting ready locations half-way through?

A: As much as it pains me to say no, I really have to say no. Services must be completed from start to finish at one location. While it may sound like an easy “set change” half-way through the morning, the reality is that you usually lose a MINIMUM of an hour in the timeline between setup, clean up, pack out, driving to the second venue space, setting up, and beginning services. It’s too stressful for you and for us. Trust me. You’ll thank me later!

Q: When is payment due?

A: Payment is due via invoice for your retainer within 3 dates of receipt from our team to book your wedding. Payment for final balances is due via invoice BEFORE the wedding day – full details located within your contract.

We accept Cash, Card, or ACH via Squarespace invoice.
