FAQ

Experienced stylists

Each of our senior stylists has a minimum of 8 years of experience in the makeup and hairstyling industry.  In particular, we are very popular for wedding bookings.  We typically have wedding bookings every weekend.  During peak wedding seasons (March to May, September to November) we could be booked for up to 7 appointments on a single weekend.  Our stylists know everything that you need to know on how you can look and feel your best on your special day.

Premium products

Different stylists have different preference as to the products they use.  This is particularly true to our team because of the versatile background of our stylists.  In line with our premium image, it is our policy not to endorse any supermarket brands.  In addition, we never use any products that are of unknown origin.

Products used by our team include Gorgeous Cosmetics, Bobbi Brown, NARS, Stila, Shu Uemura, Clinique, MAC, Urban Decay, Too Faced and more. We are proud to be an authorised stockist of Gorgeous Cosmetics - a preimium Australian cosmetics brand developed by the Academy of Makeup for professional makeup artists.

Hygiene

Our principal stylist Stella has a doctorate in biological sciences and so we all follow a stringent hygienic regime.  We use disposable products (such as mascara wands and sponges) whenever possible.  We never use our brushes on our clients without first sanitising them.

Friendly and helpful serivce

We understand how important your special day is to you, so we listen and do our best to make you look and feel beautiful and confident.  We are not only skilled but also punctual and more importantly, very cheerful! 

Our services do not stop at makeup and hair.  We do everything we can to assist you.  In the past, we have helped our clients with finding wedding dresses, photographers and videographers in the last minutes. We have even helped our clients to map out a reception run sheet.  Think of us as your walking encyclopedia.

What is a trial? Must I book a trial?

A trial session is time for you to get to know us, and for us to understand exactly what you have in mind.  We also provide you with professional advice of the styles that would suit you most.  It is more than just makeup and hair - we are keen to discuss with you about your skin, sun protection, colour theme, and help you to plan the schedule for your special day. Trial is not mandatory but is highly recommend to make sure we can bring out the best in you.

Tossing up between whether to do one or not? See our blog post here.

How many styles can I try in one trial session?

We will fit in as many as we can do in the 2.5-hour session.  Typically we can do 2 makeup styles and 2 hair styles in 2.5 hours.

What do I wear to a trial?

Comfortable outfit with a similar colour to your special day outfit.  This will enable us to see how the tone and intensity of your makeup interact with the colour of your dress.

What else do I need to prepare for the trial?

efore a makeup trial, avoid wearing makeup or sunscreen.  If you plan to wear contact lenses on your special day, wear them to the trial as well.  One-day old hair is usually best for hair styling.  Wash and dry your hair on the night prior.  It is a good idea to bring your inspiration pictures.  If you have any hair accessories (such as a veil) that you are planning to use, please bring them to the trial to find out whether they would work with the hairstyle you want.

Can I bring a friend?

Due to special COVID circumstance, please do not bring any additional guests to our studios.

Can I do photoshoot with my photographer after the trial?

In a trial we aim to provide you with different styles to choose from, meaning that we will be changing your makeup and hairstyle a few times.  By the end of the trial session the result will not be of perfect photographic quality.  You should book a separate makeup and hairstyling session for your photoshoot.

 

How do I secure booking for my special day?

The Faces Makeup and Hair Team provides superior quality services and as such we are in high demand all year round.  Bookings can only be secured by paying a non-refundable deposit.  Please note that filling in an enquiry form, asking for a quotation or booking for a trial does not guarantee the date will be vacated for you.

The deposit required is 50% of your entire booking.  Once this deposit is received we will reject other jobs that conflict with your booking.  Therefore your deposit cannot be refunded under any circumstances.

I have done a trial.  When do I need to confirm my special day booking?

We encourage you to look at your makeup outdoor, indoor and in different lightings.  We do not pressure you into paying a deposit right after the trial.  However, bear in mind that after the trial we are not obliged to vacate the special day for you unless we have received a deposit.

How much time in advance do I need to make a booking?

Typically we receive enquiries 9-12 months in advance.  However, in many cases we are able to look after clients with a much shorter notice.  Working as a team means we have more capacity than other sole-trading businesses.

When is the balance due?

The balance is due 28 days prior to service.  Once paid, the balance is strictly non-refundable.

Can I add my mother-in-law to the list after I made a booking?

If you need extra services please let us know as soon as possible.  We will try our best to look after your needs as long as we have capacity.  An additional deposit will be required.

My mother changed her mind.  She does not want to have her hair done anymore.  Can I take her off the list?

You may not reduce the number of booked services once you have made your balance payment or less than 28 days prior to the special day, whichever is earlier.

Otherwise you may reduce the number of makeup application or hairstyling you have booked, subject to payment of a cancellation fee (See our booking terms and conditions at the bottom of the page).

Can I change the time or location of my booking?

We will try our best to accommodate your changes as long as they do not impact on our other commitments on the same day. An admin fee applies.

 

Pricing

Are there any discounts or packages for large group booking?

The Faces Makeup and Hair team is highly sought after for wedding bookings.  Our standard prices are published and can be downloaded here.  We offer extremely competitive pricing for the quality of service we provide.  As such we do not provide further discount off our published prices.

We offer student rates for school formals (Monday to Friday only).  Please visit our website for further information.

Do the hairstyling prices include hair accessories?

We do not include hair accessories in our hairstyling prices.  For hygienic reasons we do not provide hair accessories, but we will be able to place or incorporate your accessories into the updo.

Holly was so warm, friendly and easygoing. She did an incredible job replicating the makeup and hairstyle from the photo I provided the night before the big day. The makeup lasted well into the night without a touch-up. Thank you for making my wedding day special.

The team at Faces was always so professional and lovely to work with. Hannah and Joanna help me and my 2 bridesmaids on the day with beautiful hair and makeup. Can't thank them enough! Hair and makeup lasted through a long day without needing any touchup, even our lashes stayed on in the intense wind! Thank you girls!

There are many artists who specialise in the "natural" look, but there is something extra special about what Stella does. She seems to have the ascended ability to not just make up a face, but enhance it - to bring out the natural beauty of the person she is attending to. It goes without saying that Stella is extremely knowledgeable and experienced. She provided bridal makeup and hair for me on two occasions, both of which looked fantastic and lasted the entire day. Stylists Joanna and Hannah provided makeup and hair for my three bridesmaids, my mother and my mother in law. Everyone looked absolutely flawless each time, with lush, natural-look makeup and perfectly styled hair. The entire team are friendly, so very patient and attentive. Even when things go awry, they are unflappable, always professional, constantly smiling and reassuring. I honestly could not recommend Faces more!

Would highly recommend for both the trial and the bridal makeup/hair! Ping in particular was amazing, really accommodating and would change what she was doing based on my feedback to her. Got lots of compliments on both my makeup and hair, would highly recommend (especially if you have more Asian features too!)

Stella was easy to work with and very responsive. Everyone in my bridal party was happy with their hair and makeup. My makeup was a little different from the trial but it was okay overall.

When's the best time to have a hair and makeup trial?

Wondering how far out before the wedding is best, but also, would like to use the trial to help me choose my suppliers.

Faces Makeup and Hair

If you would like to use the trial to help you choose which supplier, then we would recommend asap.  The wedding industry is currently dealing with backlog from Covid and combining with staff shortage dates can be booked out very early.

If you have already decided which supplier to go with, then we generally recommend a trial 4-8 weeks prior to your wedding day.

Emergency backup plans for makeup artist?

Hi there. Wondering about emergency backup plans in the event my makeup artist is sick or is in an emergency on our wedding day. What contingency plans are in place? Do I need to pack my own makeup just in case?

Faces Makeup and Hair

This is such a good question!  Using a company with a team of makeup artists will take the pressure off you to find last minute back up plan.  Faces Makeup and Hair has a team of 6 stylists and we have not had one wedding cancelled due to illness of a staff member, as we have each other's back!  If you would like to chat to us, send us a short message - www.facesmakeupandhair.com.au

Do makeup artists generally travel?

Hi, we're considering a semi-rural wedding, but not wanting to limit our suppliers to just the town. How far do makeup artists generally travel without charging extra, and at what point would they charge a travel fee? Thank you!

Faces Makeup and Hair

Absolutely - all bridal makeup artists will provide travelling for their services; however the distance and fees they charge for traveling will depnend on individual makeup artists.

Very rougly speaking, our team charges approximately $1 - $1.5 per stylist for every km of travel once it is outside the metropolitan area.  However it also depends on the size of bridal party, timing of the day, etc., so a lot of variables.  It would be best to check with your makeup artist.
