The Cost of Professional Bridal Beauty Part 2

There are a number of factors that contribute to the cost of wedding day Beauty services, including but not limited to the following:

1) Luxury: On-site Beauty services are considered a luxury service; my team and I will be packing up and transporting multiple cases of equipment and supplies directly to you in the comfort of your bridal suite, hotel, or home on demand at the hour you specify.  As opposed to going to a salon for services, an experienced team of pre-screened & dedicated professionals who know and understand your needs will be coming to you, allowing you to relax, sip some mimosas, and enjoy your special day without the added stress of traveling to and from service locations.

2) Experience & Professionalism:  What made you want to contact me for services?  I’m sure factors like positive reviews on Yelp and on my website, the look of my website, and the quality of my images brought you here in the first place.  If you’ve read the About Me section, you probably know that I am an Aveda Institute trained licensed cosmetologist who underwent a rigorous 1,000 hours of training in all aspects of hair and skin care and graduated with a certificate for ethics and professionalism.  Beauty is my full time job.  As a trained professional in the beauty field, my expertise is broad and extensive, and I bring this ever growing body of knowledge to each consultation.  All of that training and experience make my billable time as a professional more valuable, the same way it does in any other profession.

3) Time: My rates reflect my investment in my training, experience, travel time, preparing and proper safe handling of tools and products, product replacement costs and labor time.  Aside from providing services on the day of, I will be providing skincare advice, taking your emails and calls to answer questions, provide referrals for other vendors if asked, and help set a timeline for your day of services among other things.  Your schedule becomes mine; if you have an early start in the morning, I have an even earlier start!  All of the time spent reviewing your Pinterest boards, discussing styling options, providing skin care suggestions, going over scheduling, coordinating with bridesmaids, etc. is time “on the clock” where I am devoting my attention to you.  If you have a large party that requires a second artist, I am happy to accommodate you –but remember that I have to compensate them fairly for their travel, expertise and training, and labor as well.

4) Products & Tools: All of my products and tools are professional grade and kept in proper sanitary conditions in accordance with industry standards.  This means not only a constant acquisition of new products for testing and to replace ones that are depleted or past their prime, but also maintaining stock of proper sanitation materials and disposables such as cotton rounds, Q tips, makeup sponges, mascara wands, and false lashes, as well as hair pins to match every shade of hair.  I am also required to have makeup for every skin type, texture, and shade in addition to different styling products and thermal tools appropriate for every hair type.  It adds up very quickly!
