Q + A | Prom
Q: Do you offer airbrush makeup application?
A: I do not offer airbrush makeup application. I prefer the look and finish of cream and liquid makeup formulations, and I work with a variety of different professional makeup brands and formulas, choosing the best option for each individual client.
Q: How long will my makeup last?
A: Your professional makeup application will last all day (and night)!
Q: Should I schedule hair or makeup first?
A: I tend to prefer that my clients have their hair done first, but it’s no big deal if makeup needs to be done first for convenience or scheduling conflicts!
Q: May I schedule a trial makeup application or hair styling service prior to my prom date?
A: Of course, you may request a trial makeup application or hair styling appointment! However, it’s certainly not a necessity, and most prom clients do not book trial services.
Q: Do you accept group bookings for prom clients?
A: I am more than happy to book groups for prom makeup and/or hair styling services! For group bookings, discounted group pricing does apply and the on-location fee only applies to the group total (and is usually divided evenly, then added to each client’s total).
Q: Do I need to have any of my own makeup or hair styling products?
A: You do not need any products or tools for your makeup and/or hair appointment.
Q: How long will my makeup application take to complete?
A: Professional makeup applications may take from 30 minutes up to 1.5 hours to complete, but most often prom makeup takes about an hour.
Q: How long will my hair style take to complete?
A: Hair styling usually takes around 30-45 minutes for heat styling only (waves, curls, smooth styles) and 1-1.5 hours for an updo style.
Note: Hair styling appointments may not be available on certain prom dates due to high numbers of requests for makeup application appointments.
Q: How should I prepare for my appointment?
A: Here are the key things to remember the day of your appointment:
Wear a V-neck or button front shirt or dress, so that you can change into your prom attire without messing up your hair or makeup.
Do not wax any area of the face within a few days of your makeup application appointment! Facials or any other skincare procedures are generally best to avoid within a few days of a makeup application as well.
Your face should be makeup-free and well-cleansed. Be sure to wash away any eye makeup/mascara residue from your lashes, especially in the lash line!
If you take a daily allergy or sinus medication, remember to take it before your appointment. Excessively watery eyes can really complicate false lash applications!
Q: What do I need to do to ensure that I have an appointment for my requested date and time?
A: Two things have to happen to ensure that I am available on your requested date and that you have been added to my appointment calendar:
Contact me to request your desired date and time! You can use this contact form or send an email to booking@muabykate.com.
Make sure that you receive a confirmation email and/or text from my online calendar! If you do not receive a confirmation email, contact me! I will need to make sure that your appointment has been added to my calendar.
Note: A contract and deposit must be submitted to reserve a date for group bookings.
