Is airbrush makeup and traditional makeup the same price?

Yes, but we prefer airbrush since it lasts much longer is water resistant, sweat proof and cry proof.

How should I prep my hair for services?

Arrive at your appointment with fully dry, clean hair.
If your hair does not hold a curl well, we ask that you wash your hair the night before your appointment with no conditioner and no leave-in products.
If you have naturally curly hair, you may arrive with your hair wet.

Yes, absolutely! We are a diverse group of artists that work with a diverse group of clients. Korean beauty, South Asian Brides, Middle Eastern weddings, European, Latin, American, and all other ethnicities you can think of!

Can I book just eyes?

We do not offer half face services. Picasso wouldn't sell half a painting so we don't either! Let us give you the entire pampering package, you will love it.

Sit back, relax, leave the beauty to us and enjoy every moment of your wedding.
