St. Louis Makeup Artist & Hair Bridal Booking Process

Saturdays in particular get booked very quickly.
To book your wedding hair and makeup services, we require a 50% non-refundable retainer and signed contract. That in turn secures a padded time block for you and your bridal party on your wedding day.

DO I NEED A WEDDING MAKEUP AND HAIR TRIAL?
At Make-up N More, St. Louis' Premiere Makeup Artst and Hair team, we highly recommend a hair and makeup preview before your big day! This is the perfect opportunity to test your dream look and make sure it’s exactly what you envision.
Here’s what a bridal trial helps with:

✨ Building a connection with your stylist, so you feel like you have a built-in beauty bestie on your wedding day!
…and so much more!
Each Hair & Makeup Preview session lasts for a minimum of 2.5 hours, ensuring that that every detail is perfected, so you can feel confident, relaxed, and completely you when you walk down the aisle. Let’s make your bridal beauty vision a reality!
See what our clients are saying about our exceptional service...
"I cannot say enough kind words about Lainie and how amazing she is! I am beyond grateful that I went with Lainie! I felt so gorgeous on my wedding day, and it was so important to me that I still felt like myself. She is so amazing at working with you to create your perfect look. Most importantly you can tell that she genuinely loves to be a part of your big day, and has so much fun with what she does. She was SO flexible with us to ensure that I and 5 of my bridesmaids were able to get our hair and make-up done (never rushed!) the day of our wedding and still had enough time for all wedding day festivities! Not to mention we all looked amazing throughout the entire day. Lainie, I cannot thank you enough for your patience and amazing work!"
- Julie P., Bride
"Lainie was great to work with! We had my wedding trial about 2 months before my wedding, and she exceeded my expectations. When it came to the wedding day, Lainie and her assistant arrived 15 minutes early to get set up. Lainie did a great job with my bridal party’s hair and makeup! Everyone looked beautiful, and she offered touch-ups before she left. I was very pleased with my hair and makeup and Lainie adjusted when my eyelashes wouldn’t cooperate, which I appreciated! I got so many compliments all night on my makeup and hair. She also gave me a makeup bag with extra lipstick, hairspray, blotting papers and more. Highly recommend Lainie for any event."
- Martha F., Bride
"I loved working with Lainie for my wedding day. I received her contact from a family member who had used Make-up N More for their wedding. Lainie brought an associate to help with hair as I had a large group to get ready - Lainie somehow managed to get us to fun ahead of schedule which helped greatly with all of my nerves day of! Makeup and hair was all done very well."

St. Louis Makeup Artist & Hair Bridal FAQ's
Do You Provide On-Location Makeup & Hair Services?
We provide a fully mobile beauty experience, bringing luxury and a stress-free atmosphere directly to you on your wedding day.
Is There a Minimum to Book?
During peak season (April–October), we require a minimum number of services:
-
Saturday Weddings: Minimum of 6 services
-
Friday & Sunday Weddings: Minimum of 4 services
(Services can be a mix of hair & makeup.)
If you’re booking last-minute and we have availability, we may make an exception. You don’t need to finalize your service count until 90 days out, but if the minimum isn’t met, the remaining balance will still be due.
What Are Your Travel Fees?
Travel starts at $100 and includes up to 30 miles from our St. Louis County location (covers setup, breakdown, mileage, gas, and time). Beyond 30 miles, a travel fee of $1.50 per mile applies. If travel exceeds 2 hours, a hotel stay may be required.
How Much Time Should We Set Aside for Services?
We allow:
-
40 minutes per service for bridal party members
-
1 hour per service for the bride
We want your morning to be relaxed and seamless—no rushing, no stress!
Do You Have a Team, or Do You Work Alone?
For larger parties, I bring in additional stylists to keep everything running smoothly. A $100 fee per assistant (plus travel) will be added based on the number of services and timing needs.
Do I Need a Trial Run (Preview)?
I highly recommend it! A trial ensures we’re on the same page and allows us to perfect your dream bridal look. Most of my brides secure their date with me first (based on my reviews and portfolio), then schedule their trial a couple of months before the big day.
Can I Do a Trial Before Booking?
I no longer offer bridal trials before booking. Your date isn’t reserved until the contract and retainer are complete, and I’ve seen brides fall in love at the trial—only to find their date is no longer available.
If you’d like to experience our work in person first, you’re welcome to book a non-bridal hair and makeup session. We also don’t recommend doing a trial too far in advance, since your vision and needs often evolve closer to the wedding day.
Once you’re booked, your trial becomes a personalized part of your full experience—intentional, refined, and fully focused on bringing your dream bridal look to life.
What Happens at the Hair/Makeup Preview?
Trials take place at my studio, where we’ll go over your vision, test your chosen makeup and hairstyle, and make any necessary adjustments. You’ll also receive prep tips to ensure you get the most out of your trial. This is your time to wear the look, see how it holds up, and feel 100% confident for your wedding day!
When & How Should I Book My Wedding Day Beauty Services?
I accept bookings up to 2 years in advance! To officially secure your date, a 50% non-refundable deposit and signed contract are required.
When Is the Final Payment Due?
I’ll send you the total balance about a month before your wedding, and payment is due at least one week before the big day.
Is gratuity included in the pricing?
A 20% gratuity is added to the final invoice for all bridal services. This ensures that everything is handled ahead of time, allowing you to enjoy your special day without worrying about additional payments or tips.
What Makeup Brands Do You Use?
I only use high-performance, luxury products to ensure a flawless, long-lasting look that holds up beautifully all day and night.
