A kit you'd trust on your own face
Brushes washed and sanitised between every person, disposable wands and spatulas, and nothing decanted from a used pot. Tell us about a sensitivity and we'll patch test in advance.

Glow that lasts from the first photo to the last dance
Hair and makeup for brides, guests and cameras — at our studio or wherever you're getting ready. Long-wear, photographed a hundred times, still perfect at midnight.
Long-wear and camera-ready
Built for flash, heat and a twelve-hour day: skin prepped properly, everything locked in with a fixing mist. It reads soft in person and holds up in every photograph.
We come to you

What will it cost?

Bridal bookings take a 30% deposit — it holds the date and is non-refundable — with the balance due 7 days before the event. Everything else is 50%, and the rest is paid at the appointment.
From three people, 10% comes off the service. Paying by Interac e-Transfer takes another 3% off the whole appointment.

The studio
One artist, one bride, no rush
Your morning is booked with time to spare: three unhurried hours, good light, a mirror you can actually see yourself in, and nobody waiting in the doorway. Your mother and your sister can sit down too.
We recommend starting with a trial: we try the look, photograph it in daylight and in flash, and write down every product so the morning of the wedding is nothing but repeating something we already know works.
How it works
From trial to last dance
01
Trial
Two hours at the studio. We try the look, photograph it in daylight and flash, and change whatever isn't quite you.
02
Plan
We write down the products, the order of the day and your ready-by time, and book in everyone else getting ready with you.
03
Day-of
We arrive early with the whole kit, unpack by a window, and work to the clock so you're ready before the photographer is.
04
Touch-ups
Lips blotted, skin refreshed, every curl checked. Take a touch-up kit along and you can do the rest yourself at midnight.

Questions we hear most
How much is the deposit?
Bridal bookings take 30% to hold the date. It is non-refundable, but it moves with you if you reschedule, and the balance is due 7 days before the event. Everything else takes 50%, refunded minus $10 if you cancel at least 24 hours ahead. Pay by Interac e-Transfer and 3% comes off the whole appointment.
Do you come to us?
Yes — home, hotel or venue. Travel is $50, the local area, $90 for the surrounding area and $150 beyond it, up to 100 km. We need a table by a window with a power outlet and somewhere to park.
Can you start before 7am?
Often, yes — brides frequently start at 5 or 6. Early starts can be booked online and add a $75 early-start fee, shown before you confirm.
Can my bridesmaids book with me?
Up to six people in one booking for party and prom services, and up to four for photoshoots, and 10% comes off the service part from three people. The booking gets longer for each person, so tell us your ready-by time.
