Bridal Makeup & Hair : Be Confident, Feel Beautiful
Hello! I’m Val, a Toronto-based freelance hair & makeup artist, specializing in luxury hair and makeup services for weddings, proms, engagements, photo shoots & Red Carpet, as well as any special events in and around the GTA. Whatever the occasion, I am here to help you look and feel your absolute BEST!
I provide a VIP service that includes flawless, long-lasting makeup and hair tailored to your unique look. I just love being part of such a special day, so I make sure you look and feel like a STAR!
Booking a hair and makeup appointment is an empowering, confidence boosting experience – rather than just a makeover, I create the Glam version of YOU!
Here are just a few photos of my gorgeous clients!
For me, no two clients are alike. I love being a part of your day and working together to help create a makeup look that is as beautiful, bright and unique as you are!
Getting married? I want to help you look confident and feel beautiful on one of the most important and memorable days of your life!
During your trial, I will determine what works best for your skin tone + type, accentuate your most flattering features and make you look and feel absolutely beautiful on your special day.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
What brands do you use?
My kit consists of favourite products from a variety of professional brands including MAC, CoverFX, Make Up For Ever, Too Faced, YSL, Urban Decay, Smashbox, Bdellium, Charlotte Tilbury, Laura Mercier, Tarte, IGK, CHI, Moroccan Oil and more…
I also have a variety of false lashes on hand that are included and come equipped with professional lighting to ensure your makeup and hair are FLAWLESS!
How long does an application typically take?
Event makeup & hairstyling bookings require a window of 1.5-2.5 hours (including set-up & pack-up time) and depends on the desired level of glam as well as the length/thickness of your hair.
Makeup applications for bridal party members take approximately 45 minutes per face; where hair styling can take between 25-60 minutes depending on the length of their hair and style desired.
Bridal makeup and hair styling sessions typically require 1.5 hours (when a bridal trial has been conducted in order to determine their bridal look), but can take up to 2-2.5 hours if it is a dramatic application involving additions such as advanced contouring techniques, hair fillers, clip in extensions, etc.
What is your pricing?
I charge $350 – 500 +HST for makeup and hair; per person.
Just makeup or just hair is $175-$275; per person (depending on desired makeup & hair style/length)
If you have more than 5 women requiring services, group rates may apply.
What is a Bridal Trial?
Trials are a test-run that take place in advance of your special event/wedding date. Trials are not mandatory, however, I do strongly recommend booking them for my bride-to-be’s! Meeting beforehand allows us to go over the details of your event in person and discuss all of your relevant bridal elements in order to determine exactly what your perfect bridal look is.
A trial requires a time commitment of 1.5 (Makeup/Hair Only) to 3 hours (combined Makeup and Hair Trial)
I recommend booking your trial on the same day as your engagement photos, bridal shower or bachelorette. That way you can wear a version of your bridal makeup in a social setting, experience how it feels and lasts and, most importantly, see your makeup in photos!
We ask our clients to arrive with clean, dry hair and clean, moisturized skin and I take care of the rest. I can style your hair in a variety of ways and are experts at working with virtually every type of hair extension (however I currently do not offer up-dos, but can recommend a few stylists)
Upon booking, I will confirm with a Beauty Prep Guideline to make sure you get the most out of your makeover!
I am always here for you and am so grateful to be a part of your special day!
XO
Val
