What days can Pre-Wedding trials be scheduled on?

How do I secure my beauty services?

Brides: You can complete your booking with a paid retainer.  Visit the Contact page to inquire.
Note on Weddings - Both paid retainer and signed contract are required.  This means that until your paid retainer and signed contract are submitted, your date is not secured and can be booked by any inquiry at any time. It is never too early to book your date!

All other clients: You can book 24/7 by visiting our Services menu.

Are there any early morning fees?

We start services as early as 8:00 am without fees. We do offer a waitlist for early morning weddings (start time before 8:00 am)  and you can sign up here<<<<


My timeline is short, how much is it to add an artist?

Heather is  a solo artist as of December 1, 2022.

If anyone in my party change their mind on services am I responsible?


After submission of your contract, you will be responsible for the service totals and any potential cost changes as indicated in your signed contract. 

Why is there an onsite/travel fee ?


The onsite fee covers our drive time, mileage, gas, turning away studio clients during drive times and more to bring beauty to you! They are all included within  your beauty package. If onsite fees are not within your budget or you do not wish to pay an onsite/travel fee, you have the option of coming in to the studio location for your beauty services to be completed.

Is parking included in your rates?

Heather requires valet parking at select hotels and the fee is charged to client room #. If you're lucky, some hotels do provide complimentary parking for wedding vendors, but it's best to arrange that ahead of time to ensure no extra parking fees are charged to your room. All other parking fees can be easily paid through Venmo on the day of the event.

What happens if someone wants their makeup/hair completed last minute and was not already booked?


This happens often! When others notice that there is an artist on the location and see others getting pampered, they ditch their own tools and head over to the my beauty station. Depending on time I may be able to accommodate this, but of course the client that booked ahead of time will have priority and I do not rush current booked clients to fit in extra services. If we do have time, all rates are  listed on the service page. As of 12/9/22 Heather only offers Bride only services.

What is the onsite/travel fee rate?


Onsite fees are already included in each Bridal Package. To see full rate guide. please contact us.

Where is your studio located?

Do you offer blow out services?

We are an event beauty studio, rather than a salon and we specialize in dry styling to help you look and feel your best. To make sure you have a top-notch experience, we kindly request that you come with your hair already dried. Sadly, we do not provide blow drying services, but we can't wait to help you look amazing!



As an artist, Heather has cultivated her own unique style and techniques.  Photos can be great for inspiration, but it's important to keep realistic expectations in mind. In many pictures, the model may have extensions, a wig, and a different hair texture and length, skin tone and more. If you're on the search for an artist to perfectly replicate a picture, we are afraid that Heather may not be the artist for you. In terms of Heather's artistry, her style tends to lean towards an earthy, boho aesthetic. with a goal and style to simply enhance a client's features while staying true to the individual's features and not changing them. All about creating a sheer, more natural look with just the right amount of enhancement for eyes and don't include dramatic or glam into her style. and organic, and taking pleasure in creating instead of  duplicating. I recommend choosing looks from my Pinterest board or my portfolio

Can you duplicate a makeup/hair look from pictures in on pinterest? 

Brides: Do I need to have a Pre-Wedding Trial?

We understand how stressful wedding planning can be, so we want to make sure you feel secure and confident before booking your services. That's why we require bridal trials before booking — so you can be sure that you're 100 % sure you love Heather's artistic approach to makeup and hair before commiting.

Live out of state?
When it comes to planning your bridal look, it can be tricky if you live out of state. Fortunately, if you are coming in for a tasting, dress alterations, venue visits, or other vendor meetings you can coordinate a trial during that time.

Trials can be scheduled on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 9:30 am - 4:00 pm at Heather's NW Austin studio. Unfortunately, due to the beauty of working with natural light, we have to limit our appointments to during the day.

Do you provide a touch up kit?



Wedding Day Touch Up kits are not available in advance as we may need different color options and brands, but don't worry! If you are having a pre-wedding trial we can figure out the perfect lipstick color for your look and Heather will guide you on what else you may need. That way its the perfect fit!

Do you offer airbrush makeup?

What a great question! Heather's makeup style is all about achieving a natural sheerer look and letting the client's beautiful skin still show through (while covering anything you feel are imperfections). We don't use airbrush techniques as artistically Heather prefers a more sheer, skin-like coverage within her looks. Such as letting freckles show and more.

Are there any Onsite Locations you do not provide services?

Ah, yes. Sadly, we have had some unfortunate experiences with our downtown Austin hotels. Consequently, we are no longer able to provide our services at any of the downtown hotels. 

How long will my makeup and hair last?

Totally understand this concern! This might differ based on your own complexion, whether you touch your face, have oily skin or other factors such as the environment. For hair, if you hair reacts to the elements such as humity or you hair just doesn't hold curl normally, we can't confirm for how long it'll last, sadly. But, Heather's first priority is to aim to make each style and application last as long as possible, guiding clients with her experience professionally, longevity is just something we wouldn't know with 100% certainty without trying it first if that is a concern for a client. You can always have a trial even if you are not a bride! If you do have a trial, Heather will make professional suggestions if your skin and hair do react to the elements normally. It will then be up to you to decide.

The Do No Harm Beauty Commitment - one way to keep the beauty alive

I have made a personal commitment to use #donoharmbeauty to effect change in the world. 

All of the makeup I use is cruelty-free. Always.

Not only do I meticulously research and choose furry-friend friendly products for your beauty experience, but I also give back a portion of my profits to an animal charity that protects animals from cruelty, exploitation, and other abuses. I choose to do this for all the living creatures who don't get a choice.

I have made a personal commitment to use #donoharmbeauty to effect change in the world. 

I love animals, and I think it’s an atrocity that 500,000 animals are harmed and killed each year for the sake of cosmetics testing. This does not have to happen. 

That’s why all of the makeup I use is cruelty-free. Always.
