Ms Painted Lady

Ms Painted Lady is a traveling makeup and hair team based in Frisco, Texas, serving the Dallas-Fort Worth area and clients farther afield. Weddings are the specialty, with particular attention to Desi bridal jewelry and dupatta setting.

LGBTQ+ couples and cultural weddings

The business is LGBTQ+-owned. The team works on fusion weddings across Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, Ismaili, interfaith and American traditions, which makes it a fit for couples who are blending cultures or faith customs with a same-sex wedding. You can describe the traditions you want to honor and have them handled with care.

The package

A planning service is built into the package. Brides receive a list of top vendor referrals, so you can be connected with other professionals. Each aspect of the service is fitted to the individual client.

Getting ready for cultural ceremonies

• Share the schedule of each event, since looks may change between functions
• Show the outfit, jewelry and dupatta ahead of the trial
• Ask who will drape and pin the dupatta
• Confirm start times for early ceremonies
• Discuss any hair coverings or religious requirements

Travel

Because the team travels, ask how destination weddings are handled and what is included for time away. Agree on the call time for the earliest ceremony and a plan for touch-ups throughout the day.

Booking tips

Choose a trial that includes your jewelry, so the artist can plan around it. Bring clear photos of the look you want and ask how long each look will take, so the morning does not run late.
