Planning perspective
What to consider before reaching out
A strong first conversation is about fit, not just availability. Share your date, approximate guest count, location, and the feeling you want the day to have. Ask what is included, what typically changes the final quote, and what decisions need to be made earliest.
For a hair & beauty partner, confirm how communication works, who will be present on the day, and how the team handles changes. Pricing was not included in the supplied research, so request a current, itemized proposal directly from the business.

Not a bride, but a frequent flyer!! Kellys in house services are chefs kiss. I can’t recommend her one on one make up tutorials enough. It was perfectly tailored to my skin type & completely changed my morning routine. I’m now confident I’m looking my best & improving the health of my skin ever day. She also offers reiki, something I personally can’t ever pass on, as an add on to services. Now I’m just impatiently waiting for her color analysis services to launch soon 😊

My hair and makeup team were absolutely amazing! I felt and looked beautiful, and so did everyone in my wedding party. My makeup stylist was Jane and my hair artist was Jen. Leading up to the wedding, I saw Jane monthly for facials, and she got to know my skin so well. Every single trial and experience I had with them was wonderful. Even some of my bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother-in-law—who were initially a bit nervous about getting their makeup done—were so incredibly happy with the results. Everyone absolutely loved how they looked, and I can't recommend this team enough!

Kelly and her team were INCREDIBLE! I felt so beautiful on my wedding day. I never wear makeup but Jane was able to give me a look that was glamorous and still looked like me! They were all professional and kind, punctual and flexible, respectful and amazing. I cannot recommend them enough. They were very responsive and got back to all my questions quickly. They took the time to make sure I was taken care of. It didn't feel like a business. They genuinely cared. Thanks, Kelly Ford's Haus of Beauty, for making my dreams come true and making me feel and look like a princess.

I had an amazing experience with my stylists from Haus of Beauty - Natalie and Jessie. They were incredibly kind, fun, and brought such positive vibes to the day. They truly made me feel so special and at ease. I even had the opportunity to change my hair last minute, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the result. I did a trial beforehand, and it was great! Natalie was so welcoming and helpful, making sure I felt confident in the look. The entire process was stress-free, and I would absolutely recommend Haus of Beauty to any bride looking for a talented team who really listens to your vision and makes you feel beautiful. The hair held up so well throughout the day and still looked amazing ...

Greta did my wedding day makeup and i couldn’t be happier with the way things turned out! she made me feel so comfortable. she is kind and so much fun to be around, which made getting ready on my wedding day even more special. She truly listens to what you want and never makes you feel judged or pressured into a different look. Instead, she works with your vision and enhances it beautifully. Her professionalism, attention to cleanliness, and talent cannot go unnoticed , and I felt completely confident in her hands. Not only did my makeup turn out amazing, but the entire experience was relaxing and enjoyable. If you’re looking for someone who is talented, welcoming, nonjudgmental, and genui...
