the answer to this question depends on a few things...
are you sure of the look you want, and can you describe it well? are you happy in how you do your own hair and makeup? do you have photo examples of the looks you want?

If you don't wear makeup often or really know what you like, I 100% recommend a trial.
a trial is not necessary however, I highly recommend one 2-3 months before your date.

There is no service minimum for in-studio appointments. there is a
4-service minimum for Saturdays,
on-location.
hair is one service and makeup is one service, so if you have hair AND makeup for 3, that's 6 services :)

7-14 days before your wedding, you will receive a schedule for the day of your wedding, based on the information I have. If there are any last-minute changes please notify me as soon as possible.

to book the date and time requested, a 50% non-refundable retainer and a signed contract, must be completed within 7 days. The retainer goes towards the total cost of the service.

the remainder of the payment is due 30 days before the service date. we will attempt to contact and collect payment and if unsuccessful, Artistry by Kelsea will not be expected to complete services without payment in full.

you have one courtesy transfer of date within 30 days with no penalty. more than one reschedule or after 30 days may result in additional fees.

30 days from the service date to cancel and request a refund for the full amount, other than the non-refundable retainer.

If acts of God or government authorities, natural disasters, transportation, serious illness, or other emergencies, beyond a party’s reasonable control, make it illegal/ impossible for such party to perform its obligations under this Agreement, such party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other party without liability. Before termination, the party will exhaust all options such as providing another team member to complete the service or attempt to reschedule, when possible.
