Bridal Hair & Makeup FaQ

We can’t hold a date without a contract and deposit. The sooner you know your date, the better. Sophie and the team books up to 12 months out and goes quickly. Once you have secured a venue and date, we advise that you book hair and makeup right after. We have great photographer recommendations as well— just ask! ;)

Due to high demand we are unable to reserve your date past your trial without a deposit. If you book a trial only, you risk your artist being unavailible for your wedding date.

I have a team of awesome artists that are highly trianed and we are able to accomodate larger parties and create a stress free enjoyable experience for you and your wedding party.

Yes, due to high demand, we require a minimum of 4 services and 1 Bridal Package (a service is hair or makeup) or a Bride Only package for all on location events! During off season (Summer & Winter) we may be able to accommodate smaller parties, feel free to ask us. Additional fees may apply.

We charge an artist fee (after the two that are included) to cover all my additional administrative work to secure an artist , Schedule the additional bridal party , Additional time spent creating the timeline, invoice, contract, etc, coordinating with the additional artists. You are having multiple artists turn down other work to take care of your event in a reasonable amount of time. It is also a convenience to have your prep time cut down.

Yes, we require a non refundable, non transferable retainer of 50% of the contracted services. It is collected when you sign the contract and is put towards your total invoice. Balance is due two weeks before your wedding day.

No. Your deposit/retainer is non-refundable in the event you decide to cancel.

Yes, we charge a travel fee for all locations from our Studio in Houston TX 77056. The minimum Travel fee is $50 per artist Travel fees are paid per artist.

2 weeks before the event date.

90 Days or more prior to the Event Date, then no cancellation fees are applied. 90 days (written or otherwise) prior to the Event Date, then you will liable for the full amount of the final balance owed.

We will draw up a schedule and send it to you 2 weeks before your wedding day! You will have a set start time detirmined by the number of services needed and the end time is detirmined by your ceremony time. We like to have everyone ready 2 hours before the ceremony, so you have time for getting ready photots after the photographer arrives.

Don't worry! I work alongside a team of the top makeup artits and hairstylists. I'll be able to book you with someone I trust in my team as long as they are availible.

Yes, we don’t require you to book our team for both services. You can book us for just makeup, just hair, or both.

On the wedding day, your makeup artist and hairstylists will bring everything they need to service you at your location. The only thing we need is table/countertop space and access to an electrical an outlet per artist. For Touch ups: Lipcolor/gloss & a touch up powder( We love Charlotte tilbury Airbrusflawless powder) Are highly encouraged.

We respectfully ask that no one is allowed to touch or use anything in our kit due to infection control protocols and for liability reasons. Thank you for understanding.

Upon signing the contract, we guarantee that our artist/stylist will be at your wedding. If there is an extreme emergency, we will send another member of the Blooming Beauty Co to perform the services. This hasn’t been an issue thus far, and we will try our absolute hardest to keep it that way. If there is an issue on the wedding day, please call our office immediately at 713-259-3908

Yes. Due to the amount of equipment our team must bring, our clients are responsible for any parking fees/valet.

All services are paid via online invoice. We accept major credit cards and ACH payments from your bank account via our online portal.

Overtime charges take effect when the artist/stylist is not done with your bridal party at the contracted “Service End Time” through no fault to the artist/stylist or the amount of time scheduled for them by our staff. We allot plenty of time for them to do your party. These charges will be incurred if the end time is exceeded at the fault of the client and their guests. For example, if people aren’t ready when our team gets there, if there isn’t a steady flow of people ready (with mascara in hand) to have their makeup/hair done, or if additional people or services are added on the day of. Since there are instances where our artists need to do another wedding on the same day, running late may result in them being late to another wedding.

If someone backs out of services that you have already paid a retainer on, there are no refunds. If someone backs out of services, ask a friend or other family member to take their spot.

We will send you an invoice to pay online in one lump sum. We also can include tips/gratuity if you wish.
