Beauty
This is the complete wedding hair and makeup service for the bride: both halves of the look, from one team, on location in Alameda and across Northern California.
What the complete service covers
Day of wedding hair styling and day of wedding makeup application, both delivered by the same team on the morning of the wedding. The stylist and the wedding makeup artist come to the getting ready suite, the family home, or the venue itself, so the bride is not moving between a salon chair and a makeup chair with a schedule already running tight. The finish is built for the length of the day, from the first look through the last dance.
Why one team for both matters
Booking hair and makeup together removes a coordination problem that many couples only notice on the morning itself. There is one arrival window instead of two, one point of contact for the timeline, and one set of decisions about the order of work: skin prep and base can be timed around heat styling, and the final setting can happen after the hair is pinned rather than before it gets handled again. When two vendors are booked separately, that sequencing tends to be negotiated on the day by whoever is least busy, which is rarely the bride.
The trial, and what it settles
Because this package covers both services, a single trial can settle the wedding hairstyle and the makeup look together rather than across two appointments with two vendors. A trial is where you find out whether an updo holds the way you pictured it, whether the makeup depth reads correctly in daylight and again in photographs, and whether the two halves look like each other. Bring reference images that show the finish you want and the finishes you do not, and say plainly afterwards what you would change. That feedback is what the day of application is built from.
Where the team travels
Service is on location across the Bay Area, the East Bay, the South Bay, the North Bay, Napa, Sonoma, Sacramento, and the Central Valley. Wine country weddings and venues an hour or more from home are ordinary bookings here rather than exceptions, which matters when the getting ready room is at the venue and nobody has time to drive anywhere.
Booking terms for this service
A signed booking and a deposit are required to reserve your wedding date, with the balance due before the event. The team travels to your getting ready location across the Bay Area and up to one hundred miles, and travel beyond the standard service area may add a fee that is confirmed at booking. Hair and makeup trials are available in advance, priced separately, and strongly encouraged for the bride. Airbrush makeup is available on request and can be selected for the bride or any member of the bridal party at booking. False lashes can be added at booking and are not included in the base price. Per attendant pricing on bridal party services scales by the number of attendants, and the full cost is confirmed at booking.
How this compares with the single service bookings
The same team lists hair on its own and makeup on its own as separate bridal hair and makeup packages. This is the combined booking: choose it when you want one vendor responsible for the whole look and one timeline to manage. Choose a single service instead if you already have a wedding hair stylist you trust, or if you do your own makeup and only need the hair handled properly.
Who this suits
Brides who want the entire look covered by one booking. Brides with a compressed morning, where two vendors arriving at different times is a real risk rather than a theoretical one. Brides getting ready somewhere with no salon nearby. And anyone who would rather spend the morning with the people in the room than managing a schedule from the chair.
Planning the timing
Two dates are worth fixing early. The first is the trial, set far enough ahead of the wedding that there is room to adjust and try again. The second is the day of start time, which should be counted backwards from the first look or the ceremony rather than forwards from when everyone wakes up. Tell the team the photography call time when you book, because that is the real deadline the morning runs against, and it is usually earlier than couples expect it to be. One thing to raise in the same conversation: no standby artist is held in reserve behind this booking, so if the booked team could not make the morning there is no second name already lined up. That makes confirming early, and checking in again as the date approaches, the sensible habit.
