Questions
Do you provide a mobile hair and makeup service?
Yes of course! Holly provides her service from her studio in Ermington for trials and special occasions. We can also come to your chosen location for weddings or group bookings (travel fees apply).
Do you travel interstate or overseas?
Absolutely. Holly has done many long distance weddings. Traveling interstate or overseas is not a problem subject to availability. Please note that flight, accommodation and meal allowances must be covered for. Please discuss with Holly directly.
What products do you use?
We only use high-end and hypoallergenic products, including brands like M.A.C, Bobbi Brown, Laura Mercier, Becca, NARS, Urban Decay, and Hourglass. All our products complement various skin tones.
Do I need a bridal trial and how does it work?
A bridal trial allows you to meet your artist and test the hair and makeup look for your big day. Adjustments are made for your preference. Trials are ideally done in-studio but mobile options are available. Patch tests may be conducted, and trials last up to 2.5–3 hours.
11 more questions
When should I do the trial?
Ideally, as close to the wedding as possible to reflect your final skin and hair condition. However, you may also do it early to help you decide before booking. Some brides choose to have two trials.
Do you hold my wedding date when I have booked a trial session?
Unfortunately, we do not hold dates unless a booking with deposit is made. Due to high demand, we operate on a first-come, first-served basis. Trial fees are refundable only if not yet performed.
Will I get the same artist at my trial on my wedding day?
Yes. You'll get the same artist, unless in rare emergencies like illness. In such cases, a replacement from the team will be arranged.
What should I bring to the trial?
Bring inspiration photos, hair accessories, veil, clip-in extensions, and anything that influences the look like dress or bouquet images.
Will your products work on my sensitive skin?
All products are tested on ourselves first. However, reactions vary, so a trial is highly recommended. We’re also happy to use your own preferred products.
Do you offer touch up and what are my options?
Yes. We offer once-off (1 hour) or onsite (multiple hours) touch-up sessions. These can include refreshing or changing your look for different parts of the day. Options are best discussed during your trial.
How long will hair and makeup take on the wedding day?
We allocate around 2 hours for the bride and 1.5 hours per other person. Final estimates are provided after the trial. It's important everyone sticks to their time slot.
Do I need to prepare anything leading up to the wedding?
Yes. Holly will send you preparation guidelines for your skin and hair before the wedding day.
How do I set up at my location for makeup and/or hair?
Provide standard chairs, tables, natural or white lighting, access to power outlets, and mirrors. Contact Holly if you’re unable to meet setup requirements.
I want to book, what should I do next?
Submit the online enquiry form. After receiving your quote, pay a 50% deposit (or $50 for trials) to secure the booking. Deposits are non-refundable.
What if I need to cancel my booking?
Due to the nature of the business and lost opportunities, deposits and any paid balances are non-refundable. Please refer to the Terms and Conditions.
