Bridal hair & makeup, wherever you get ready.

A note from Anna
I've spent the last ten years getting brides ready in the quiet hours before everything begins. I come to you, set up by the window, and keep the morning calm so you can enjoy it. My work is soft and polished: you, on your best day, and hair and makeup that last through the last dance. I'd love to hear about yours.

Questions
- For the bride, hair is $300 and makeup is $300. For bridesmaids and family, hair is $150 and makeup is $150 per person. A bridal makeup trial is $250. Travel starts from $100 and depends on the distance, and mornings that start before 7:00 AM have a $50 early start fee. Anna confirms the final price with your quote.
- Most brides book six to twelve months ahead, and Saturdays from May to October go first. If your date is sooner, ask anyway: Anna takes one wedding a day and sometimes has openings.
- The trial is a bridal makeup trial of about an hour and a half, usually one to two months before the wedding. Anna talks through the look you want, your venue, the season and your inspiration photos, does your makeup the way it will be on the day, adjusts it until you love it, and keeps photos and notes of the final look for your wedding morning.
- It isn't required, but most brides do one. It's the best way to settle on a look, see how it photographs and walk into the wedding morning with nothing to decide.
- Plan on about two and a half hours for the bride's hair and makeup, and about an hour per person for hair or for makeup. Anna works backwards from your ready-by time and sends a timeline with your quote.
- Anna works backwards from the time everyone needs to be ready. She allows about an hour and a half for the bride's makeup, an hour for her hair and about an hour per person for hair or for makeup for everyone else, plus time to set up. For a larger group her team works alongside her so the morning doesn't start too early. She sends the timeline with your quote.
- Yes. Anna works with her own team of artists, so a large group is ready on time and the morning does not have to start at dawn.
- Travel starts from $100 and depends on where you're getting ready. It's quoted with your date, so you'll see the full price before you reserve. Mornings that start before 7:00 AM have a $50 early start fee.
- Sending a quote request doesn't reserve your date, and nothing is charged. Anna checks your date and replies within a day with availability and your quote. Your date is reserved once she confirms your booking with you.
