WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BOOKING FEE AND DEPOSIT?IF YOURE LESS THAN A YEAR OUT In order to secure your wedding date a non-refundable/transferable retainer fee of 50% of your potential day of service costs is dude at the time of signing your contract. Please note a trial is not required to book services with us. IF YOURE MORE THAN A YEAR OUT In order to secure your date, we require a $100 non-refundable/transferable fee. This fee compensates your lead artist and team members (if applicable) for taking the day off and ensures that we're not accepting any more bookings in store or on location. Don't worry, we understand plans may change, so no contracts, invoices, or schedules are due or signed at this stage. We want to keep things flexible until you're ready to commit to the full details. Plus, we've implemented this booking fee to ensure that your wedding date remains available for you when you're ready to book your trials. At The Art Of Beauty, we understand that traditional bridal practices require a percentage of the total bill upfront for booking. However, this can be overwhelming for our brides who may not have all the final details in place yet such as the location, headcount of services, and more. To ensure that our brides are stress-free and can secure their wedding date with ease, we have created a simple booking fee system that works for everyone. This way, you don't have to worry about losing your special day to other inquiring bridal parties.

CAN CLIENTS/BRIDES OPT FOR AIRBRUSH MAKEUP?Yes! But you should know, Airbrush makeup doesn't last longer, look more flawless, or transfer less than traditional makeup. Our artists do not believe that airbrush makeup is "better". In fact, we believe otherwise in most situations but that's totally up to personal preference. We feel we have much more control of our client's look when using traditional application methods. However, there are sometimes where airbrush makeup can be beneficial such as spot concealing stubborn blemishes, t-zone areas on those who tend to sweat a bit more or become quite oily during the humid seasons. We completely customize a special combination of products for our brides and bridesmaids, tailored to the specific client's needs. Which means we may use on or the other or a combination of both.
