Planning your look

Bring photographs of makeup and hair you like. Book a trial so you can test how a look photographs and lasts through a long day. Ask about timing for your wedding party and schedule a buffer, since city traffic can delay a morning.

Sunless tanning needs timing too. Ask when to book it, how to prepare your skin and what to wear afterward so the color sets evenly.

Area

Brooklyn and Manhattan only.

Questions to ask

Ask how many artists will attend and how long each service takes. Confirm the trial process and the schedule for the wedding party. Share any skin sensitivities and outfit details in advance.

Timing the morning

Plan the order of services. Hair usually takes longer than makeup, and photographers often arrive partway through to capture preparation. Leave time for travel in Brooklyn and Manhattan, where parking and elevators can slow a team down.
