FAQ

Will the artists doing the trial be the same as the wedding day?

YES!! Absolutley no questions asked we would never cancel our booked stylist and send a replacement. The only instance would be an emergency crisis to which I can report has never happened in 14 years of business.

Do you book multiple weddings on the same day?

We only book our teams to one wedding per day. We would never overbook and rush you to get to another appointment. YOU are our only priority on your special day.

What happens if I am not quite sure about my hair and makeup and want to tweak things on the wedding day.

We always encourage you to participate in a pre wedding hair and makeup trial to ensure that you are comfortable and happy with your chosen style however we do understand that you may want to tweak things on the day. If yourself or a bridal party member would like to make some changes then our stylists are willing and happy to work with you to get it right. We want everybody to love their looks and feel amazing, afterall that is our job.

I've never felt as glamorous and beautiful as I did on our wedding day, thanks to Monique and Kay of Hollywood Brides. What I loved about working with Hollywood Brides was that they celebrated my vision for glamorous wedding hair and makeup, without being constrained by outdated 'rules' for mature brides. They are true artists who deeply believe that glamour knows no age. Their professionalism and warmth put me at ease, allowing me to relax and truly savour the experience and excitement of being a bride. This is the ultimate glam squad.

Mon and the girls at Hollywood Brides made the morning stress free and relaxing. They are easy going and fun to hang out with in hours leading up. Communication in the lead up was fantastic and they bent over backwards to do all they could for my day. We had rain all day for our wedding and despite standing in rain and humidity and a hard night of partying my hair and make-up as well as all of my bridesmaids and flower girls held up perfectly. I was so happy with my end result, they really listened to what I wanted and made my dream into a reality. Hollywood Brides was hands down my favourite vendor and I will be looking for excuses to have them again and again.

Thanks Jade, we hope you can keep finding excuses to use us again and again as we consider you family now after experiencing two weddings and a trial with you. You are one of our favorite brides. x

I have no words to say how impressed and truly grateful I am to have found Hollywood Bridal. No words are really needed just look at the photos on insta! When I found out Kay had worked on Empress Masako’s bridal makeup in the late 90s, I knew I was in exactly the right hands. Monique and Kay did more than make my wedding dream come true, they comforted me, gave me energy, and made me feel like I could truly be myself and focus only on me and my bridely duties. Kay made sure my makeup and hair did what I wanted and not the other way around. It was truly and honour and privilege to have met Kay. I feel like I’ve met a celebrity! Let me just say they will not be soon forgotten. Go nowhere else, Hollywood Bridal is the only choice, I promise this. Xx

Monique and Kay were absolutely amazing! They made me, my bridesmaids and mum feel so beautiful! The communication leading up to our wedding was great, my questions were always answered. I had a trial done for my hair and makeup and they both did amazing. On my wedding day they both replicated my trial look beautifully. I couldn’t have been happier!! They were so comfortable to be around, they vibed well and helped create a calm morning for me which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend Hollywood Brides!

From start to finish, Hollywood Brides were the epitome of professionalism. From initial contact, to the hair and make up trial, to the wedding day, I could not be happier with their service. Monique and her girls have incredible skills, very reasonably priced, they were so much fun and made my 5 bridesmaids, my mum and I feel and look beautiful. I would hire Hollywood Brides over and over again.

Why is it a bad idea to do your own wedding makeup?

Hollywood Brides

If you are a lover of all things beauty and have some serious makeup game, then I think you are ready to handle your own bridal makeup. Let's face it (pun intended) you know your own face better than anyone, you know what products suit you and how well they wear throughout the day. Like never before consumers now have access to purchase Pro Products and tap into incredible information from talented people. Tips, tricks and product reviews from the world’s most sought after makeup artists are just a YouTube or Instagram click away.

However if makeup isn't your thing or you just want to relax then definitely hire a professional for the day. Always have a pre-wedding trial to make sure you are comfortable and confident with the artist and look.

Is it better to book one specific make up artist, or a makeup artistry company with multiple artists

Hollywood Brides

As long as the same artist who does your trial is the same artist who does your wedding it shouldn't matter. The benefits of an Agency is backup if the artist is injured or ill and cannot perform the job. Also make sure you see photos of previous work from the exact stylist before selecting as with Agencies sometimes you don't know who has done what. I make sure I allocate the stylists name to each picture.

How do you choose your hair and makeup artist?!?

There are so many different companies and people out there and I'm just finding it so difficult to choose. I dont know how much i should be spending and im no makeup expert so i dont know what I'm looking for. I dont know how to decide, what questions should i be asking? what should i be looking for? Also whats the difference between airbrush and traditional? Will airbrush be better if my wedding is in summer? Hellllpppppppp pleaseeeee

Hollywood Brides

Great question Alexandra and yes it is a virtual mine field out there trying to pick suppliers. Firstly what is your style? have a look at the types of hair and makeup a provider does on their online portfolio and see if it suits you. What are the reviews and feedback like from past clients and do these resonate with what you are after? Price is a hard one but be prepared to pay anything as an average from $80 to $130 per service for a quality experienced provider.

Narrow it down to a few businesses and then get on the phone/email and start a dialouge. Tell them that you have no idea about the process and take notes on what they tell you, a Professional will always ask you lots of questions, listen and give you direction. It is so important that you do this so you have some different experiences to compare.

Regarding airbrush vs traditional it really depends on so many factors and an experienced stylist will go over all of this with you in a consultation or at the trial. Then trust your gut intuition and make sure you feel 100% confident and comfortable as you are spending a whole morning with the stylists and you want to be relaxed, pampered and most of all having fun. Good Luck.. Monique x
