Hair + Makeup FAQ's
How far in advance do you book?
Currently, I am only accepting bookings through June 2025. My books for July-December 2025 will open in April 2025. Feel free to submit your inquiry and I would still be glad to send you additional information.
Where are you based and do you travel?
I'm based in Tampa, FL. But yes! I will travel to you to wherever you choose to get ready at (home, hotel, venue, etc.) and even long distance, destination weddings! Travel fees pay apply for on site services, please inquire within.
What is your travel fee?
My travel fees are based on the location where services are to take place and the number of people being serviced. Travel fees start at $50.
How do I book?
First I'll send you a service contract to lock in your date. Once that has been filled out and submitted back to me, a 25% non-refundable retainer fee will be due at the time of booking to lock in your date.
Do you have a minimum?
We do not have a minimum/maximum as far as number of people go. We do have a "minimum spend" of $500 per artist booked (excluding travel costs and preview sessions) for our peak season (October-May) Friday-Sundays for onsite services.
Do you do trials before I book with you?
Preview sessions are reserved for my committed brides who have already booked their wedding dates with me. If you would like to do a trial prior to booking my services for your wedding day, it will be at full bridal rates and no date will be held until you have signed a contract and paid your retainer fee.
Do you have a team?
Yes. I have a team of talented hair and makeup artists that align with my vision and style. If you have a particular artist you are interested in booking with, please be sure to specify in your inquiry. Artists are booked to weddings based on availability and client request. But fear not, any artist you are paired with through The Veil are sure to exceed your expectations!
What are my deadlines?
30 days prior to the wedding, all timeline information will need to be communicated to The Veil Beauty Co.
2 weeks all final payments must be submitted. Your 25% retainer fee will be applied to the overall cost.
Do I need to provide anything?
No! I provide everything from products to lighting to directors chairs. The only thing I request that you provide is ample room to set up our stations and a large table or counter space.
Are you able to accommodate large weddings?
Yes! Based on your party size and timeline restrictions, that would determine the number of artists I will need to reserve for your event. Anything over 8 people receiving services will need a second artist performing the same services.
Do you automatically apply gratuity to your service costs?
No. We believe gratuity should be earned based on an exceptional experience and services provided. Gratuity is always appreciated, never expected. Leaving us a review goes a long way a well to show us your appreciation!
How do you accept payments?
I take Venmo, PayPal and card. It it the responsibility of the bride to collect all of her bridal party's payments in advance and submit it altogether. I do not accept individual payments from each bridal party member as it is hard for me to keep track of who in your party has paid vs. who has not.
I like a certain product, can you use my makeup on me?
Due to insurance and liability restrictions, the only products I use on my clients are products purchased by me for quality control purposes (aside from a lipstick or lipgloss). If there is a certain product you would like me to use that I do not already carry in my kit, I have no problem purchasing that product for you and be reimbursed for the cost.
Do you do "eyes only" services?
No, I do not offer partial makeup services.
Did I miss anything?
Send me a message and I'm sure I have an answer!
Aesthetic FAQ's
How do I know which service to select?
Don't worry about that! When you book an appointment with me, I will tailor your treatment to what would be the best option for your skin type, concerns and goals.
How long before my skincare treatment should I stop using my retinol?
Please do not use any active ingredients on your skin 72 hours before your appointment.
How long does a lash lift last?
On average, a lash lift will last you around 6 weeks before needing to re-treat the lashes.
What should I do to prepare for a spray tan?
1. Exfoliate + shave your skin 12-24 hours before your spray tan
2. Arrive with clean skin (free of makeup, lotions, perfumes or deodorants)
3. Do not shower less than 12 hours before your appointment to avoid disrupting your skin's PH.
4. Wear long, loose clothing to your spray tan appointment
