Frequently Asked Questions for Beauty & Health
What beauty services do you offer?
Hair, Makeup
 
Do you offer trials and consultations?
Yes
 
Can you service a large group or bridal party?
Yes
 
Do you charge for trials?
Yes, I offer Trial Makeup as one of my services. It is a separate service from the Wedding-Day Makeup. Trial Makeup is great to do on the day of your engagement photos (just a tip)!
 
Do you travel to the client on the day of the event? If yes, is there a fee?
Yes, I offer a mobile makeup, hair and photography service, so I travel to the client. I mostly service the Los Angeles and Orange County areas. There may be a travel fee depending on the location. And there may also be a minimum booking required for services to travel certain distances. I also travel to Las Vegas and anywhere else you need me to go as long as my travel expenses are paid. Please contact me with the location to inquire about travel fees.
 
How many customers can you serve at one time if the bride were to book her entire bridal party? Are there discounts for doing so?
Being that I am only one person and can only do so much, sometimes I cannot accommodate large parties entirely by myself and would therefore possibly need to hire an assistant (which could be an extra charge). Makeup is my specialty, so if there are too many people for me to do both the makeup and hair, I will only do the makeup, and a separate hair stylist will be needed. However, I only do hair if I am also doing the makeup. The question of how many people I can service at one time depends on the time allotted. Please let me know the time of your ceremony and/or the time you need to be done by with the number of people and what services they'll be needing. Then I can tell you whether it's feasible for me to do it alone, or if I will need someone to assist me.
 
How far in advance should clients book your services?
As soon as possible! Contact me as soon as possible to inquire about my availability and request a reservation for your date/time. While I might occasionally have openings at the last minute, I usually get booked at least a month or two in advance (especially for Fridays and Saturdays), so the earlier the better! Contact me though even if it's less than that because you never know....I might be booked later in the day but be available in the morning (or vice versa). It never hurts to ask, but try to give me as much notice as possible. Thanks!
 
What is your cancellation policy?
I require a deposit along with a contract to book a date for a wedding. Services may be cancelled prior to 30 days before the day of the wedding. However, the deposit is non-refundable.

What kind of equipment do you typically bring with you on the day-of?

Do you charge hourly or full day?
I can charge either way. It just depends on the clients needs. I can usually tailor my rates to fit within a clients budgets and/or photography needs.
 
Do you charge for travel?
It depends on the location. See similar question above pertaining to makeup.
 
In what format are the initial proofs offered?
I offer all of the high-resolution images on a DVD. I will give this DVD to the client. They can then do what they want with the images.
 
Do you reserve the right to publish the photos?
Yes, I reserve the right to publish the photos unless we have worked something out prior to the event.

Additional Questions and Answers
How much do you charge for your services?
Please contact me for my rates as they are customized for each specific service. I have individual prices for my makeup, hair and photography services. I also offer package deals for multiple services as well as group rates for large parties (i.e. weddings, birthdays, special events, etc). So rather than charge each person or each service individually, I can usually offer a discounted total rate for the entire group or services. I also have half-day and day rates. I am also willing to try to work within one's budget. Therefore, it is difficult for me to post set prices. Contact me, and I'm sure we can work something out! Fill out my Booking Request Form (http://www.artistrybybriana.com/booking.html) or email me with as much information as possible, and I can give you an accurate quote.

What do I need to do to book you for your services?
Click here and fill out my Booking Request Form (http://www.artistrybybriana.com/booking.html) or you can also email me) to give me the date, time, location and service(s) you need me for. After I receive that information, I will get back to you and let you know whether I am available or not for that date/time. If I am available, I will give you a price quote and a booking contract. I do require a contract and a non-refundable deposit to reserve your date/time since I tend to get booked up.

How long does the service take?
It all depends on the individual service being performed. I can usually work within a given time frame (I'll let you know if it will work or not). However, I tend to be a perfectionist, so if the time frame is flexible, I'd like to give myself as much time as possible, rather than have to rush and cut myself short. Worst case scenario, if there's not enough time for me to do makeup and hair, I can always get someone else to help me out with hair. It will usually always work out one way or another (when there's a will, there's a way!).

Can you do both the makeup and hair for me and my bridal party?
It depends on how much time I have to perform both services. SInce I am only one person, I can only do so much by myself. I would say that I can typically do the makeup and hair for an average of approximately 4 people (give or take) if I have enough time.  Please note that makeup is my specialty, and I only do the hair (light hair styling, such as blow-outs or curling, straightening, pompadours and basic up-dos) if I'm also doing the makeup. However, if there are too many people for me to do both the makeup and hair by myself, I will only do the makeup, and I can hire an assistant or refer a separate hair stylist for you to use.
