frequently asked questions

When should I book my bridal hair and makeup?
Our calendar fills well in advance, particularly during peak wedding season (May–June and September–November). We recommend booking 10–16 months in advance to ensure availability for your wedding date.

How do I book Jazmin Rae Bridal for my wedding?
Submit an inquiry through our website to confirm availability. Once you receive your customized proposal, your date is officially secured with a signed contract and a 14% non-refundable retainer. From there, our automated and guided process keeps everything moving smoothly — no constant follow-ups required.

Do you offer bridal trials?
Yes. Bridal trials are highly recommended and are designed as collaborative sessions to refine your wedding-day look. Trials take place at our studio in the Philadelphia suburbs and include a full consultation. Trials are scheduled on weekdays and are typically booked 2–4 months prior to the wedding.

Can I book a trial before securing my wedding date?
You may, however wedding dates are not held without a signed contract and retainer. Because our bridal packages already include a trial, booking one prior to securing your date may result in two trials. For this reason, we recommend securing your wedding date first.

What should I bring to my bridal trial?
We recommend bringing inspiration images aligned with your vision, your veil or accessories if applicable, and wearing a white or neutral top. Please arrive with clean, dry hair and a clean, makeup-free face.

What’s included in bridal hair and makeup services?
Bridal makeup includes luxury skin preparation and optional false lashes for a long-wearing, polished finish. Bridal hairstyling includes secure, camera-ready styling designed to hold throughout the day.

How does the wedding morning schedule work?
We create a custom wedding morning beauty timeline to ensure a seamless flow. Start times are based on ceremony timing and party size. You’ll receive your finalized schedule and preparation guidance in advance.

How many people can you accommodate for hair and makeup?
We can accommodate intimate or large bridal parties. A single artist may service the bride plus additional guests, or we may assign multiple artists to support larger parties or tighter timelines. Additional artists may be added when requested (additional fees apply).

Can I request a specific artist?
Jazmin Rae Bridal operates as a curated collective of artists trained in our signature style. While specific artist requests cannot be guaranteed, every Service Provider delivers consistent, refined results aligned with our brand standards.

Do you offer on-location services?

Do you provide services for bridesmaids, moms, and guests?
Yes. We offer professional hair and makeup services for the bride, bridal party members, and VIP guests to ensure a cohesive, elevated look across the entire group.

What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule?
Retainers are non-refundable and non-transferable. Cancellation and rescheduling terms are outlined in your signed agreement, which governs all changes.

Do you offer hair and makeup services beyond weddings?
Yes. We provide professional hair and makeup for events such as bridal showers, baby showers, engagement sessions, maternity sessions, branding shoots, headshots, and other special occasions.

How far in advance should I book for a special event?
We recommend booking 3–4 weeks in advance, particularly during peak wedding season. Availability for last-minute requests is limited.

Where do special event services take place?
Services may be studio-based or on-location. Travel fees apply for on-location bookings.

What should I expect from a photoshoot beauty session?
Photoshoot services are tailored for professional lighting and photography. Makeup is designed to be polished yet natural on camera, and hair styling is structured to hold throughout the session.

What if I need coverage for the entire day?
Extended coverage and touch-up services are available and can be added as half-day or full-day bookings.

Do you offer airbrush makeup?
Yes. Airbrush makeup is lightweight, long-wearing, and ideal for all-day events. Availability varies by Service Provider and must be requested in advance.

What if I don’t normally wear much makeup?
Our signature style focuses on enhanced natural beauty. We tailor each look to your comfort level, ensuring you still feel like yourself — just elevated.

Can I bring inspiration photos?
Absolutely. Inspiration photos are encouraged. Final looks are adapted to best suit your facial features, skin tone, and hair texture.

Yes. Hair should be clean, dry, and washed the night before or morning of your appointment, without heavy product use.

Do you provide hair extensions?
We do not supply extensions, but we are happy to style clip-in extensions provided by the client. Extensions should be 100% human hair for best results.

What forms of payment do you accept?
