Most brides secure their date 9–12 months ahead. I recommend booking as soon as you’ve set your venue.

Your date is officially secured with a signed agreement and a $150 non-refundable, non-transferable retainer. This retainer is applied toward your bridal makeup services (not travel or additional fees) and is forfeited if the wedding is canceled for any reason.

I can “pencil in” your date for 48 hours after sending your proposal. After that, the retainer is required to secure your spot. Dates are only held with a signed contract and retainer. Without these, bookings remain open and are first-come, first-served.

Trials aren’t required but are highly recommended. A trial allows us to create your ideal look, see how products wear on your skin, and make sure you feel confident and comfortable on your wedding day.

The best time is 2–4 months before your wedding. Many brides coordinate their trial with engagement photos, a shower, or a night out.

Bring inspiration photos, details about your dress and wedding style, and notes about your everyday makeup routine. A white or light top helps mimic your wedding day look.

Bridal makeup takes about 90 minutes. Bridal party members take approximately 60 minutes each.

Yes! I create a customized beauty timeline for you and your bridal party so everyone knows when they’ll sit for services. This ensures a stress-free morning and that you’re ready right on time.

Absolutely. With advance notice, I can bring trusted assistants or additional stylists to accommodate bridal parties of any size.

Phoenix Salon + Spa is a full-service destination — not only do I specialize in long-lasting, camera-ready bridal makeup, but I also offer facials, spray tans, and waxing under one roof. This means your entire beauty prep can be managed in one place, with a clear timeline and expert guidance. Brides also love my calm, organized presence on wedding mornings.

Yes! I use professional, long-wear products layered with airbrush and setting techniques. Every bride also receives a custom touch-up kit to stay fresh through happy tears, photos, and dancing.

Consistency is key. I recommend a professional facial 1–2 weeks before your wedding and daily hydration at home. Avoid introducing new products in the week before your wedding to prevent irritation.

Many of my brides wear little to no makeup in their daily lives. My approach is always to enhance your natural features so you feel like yourself — just radiant and polished.

Yes! Phoenix Salon + Spa is a full-service beauty destination. I’ve created Bridal Prep Packages that combine facials, spray tans, and waxing so you can look and feel your best from head to toe.

Facials: Ideally monthly, with your final treatment 1–2 weeks before the wedding.

Waxing: Final wax 5–7 days before the wedding.

Spray Tan: Trial 4–6 weeks before, wedding-day tan 2–3 days before.

Absolutely. Bundling your prep services saves money and takes the guesswork out of scheduling. I’ll provide a personalized plan so everything is perfectly timed for your wedding day.

The remaining balance is due 30 days before your wedding date.

Cancellations made before 30 days of your wedding date: only the retainer is forfeited.

Cancellations made within 30 days of your wedding date: the full remaining balance is still due and non-refundable.

Services may be reduced up to 2 months (60 days) prior to the wedding. After that point, all services originally contracted are due in full. Services may still be added if time allows, but not removed once we are within 60 days of your event. This policy ensures fairness and allows me to properly schedule assistants and timing for your day.

In the rare event I cannot perform services due to illness or emergency, all payments (including the retainer) will be refunded, and I will assist in securing a replacement artist.
