Orlando Wedding Hair & Makeup Artists

Frequently Asked Questions about Wedding Hair & Makeup Artists in Orlando

How far in advance should we book a wedding hair and makeup artist in Central Florida?

As with hiring every vendor with your wedding, we always recommend hiring the most important items that are your highest priority as early as possible. While there are many options for wedding hair and makeup artists here in Central Florida, we recommend having your contract signed with a deposit at least 5 months in advance of your wedding. This will give you plenty of time to schedule your trial run through closer to the wedding day. 

How many wedding hair and makeup artists should we interview before booking?

The first step in choosing a wedding hair and makeup artist is to decide what you want your look to be on your wedding day. Are you 100% decided on an updo? If yes, you want to look for someone with a portfolio of updos that you like. Do you want a natural makeup look for your wedding day? Then search for a company who specializes in making you look like the best version of yourself. 

Once you have an idea of what you are looking for, it makes it easier to narrow down the choices. The next step is to find companies that have availability on your date and will travel to your getting ready location. 

What are a few questions we should ask companies that provide wedding hair and makeup services that we’re interviewing?

• What’s your standard rate and what does that include?
• Are you able to travel to my location? Are there any additional travel fees? 
• Where can I see a portfolio of your work? 
• Can I book a wedding makeup trial appointment? 
• Do you specialize in wedding makeup and wedding hair?
• Are you comfortable with different ethnicities – ie. skin tones and hair textures? 
• Are you comfortable with mature skin? 
• What brands of makeup do you use?
• What does your price include? 
• How can you make my wedding makeup last and look good in photos?
• What wedding makeup look would you suggest for me?
• How long will makeup take on the day? 
• Will you provide a schedule for hair and makeup on my wedding day? 
• Do you also do wedding hair?
• Do you have any specific space requirements?
• What will happen if you can’t make it on my wedding day?
• How many hair and makeup artists will you be bringing based upon the amount of services we are contracting? 

What are some factors we should consider in choosing a hair and makeup artist? 

The style of your makeup on your wedding day is a very personal choice. And you want to hire a team of wedding makeup artists that understand your vision. Glam, natural, enhanced, airbrush, dramatic eyes or bold lips. There are so many choices. And you may not be 100% sure what your wedding day makeup look is. That’s ok too! A great makeup artist will ask you the right questions and offer a preview where they will test out the look and make changes and adjustments to get it just right. 

Hair texture and length is an important factor in making sure you choose a hair stylist that can make you look and feel your best on wedding day. Their skillset might be different based upon your hair. 

The hairstyle you may have envisioned might not be possible without adding extensions. Choose a hairstylist that is realistic with you about what can be achieved. 

You want to make sure to share what type of venue you’re getting married at and where you plan to take pictures. If you are getting married outside in the Florida summer, your hair makeup artists can make different recommendations to make your chosen hairstyle and makeup last throughout the day! 

So many brides are concerned with not having an exact count of how many of their bridal party want to get hair services before they finalize which company they want to work with. Most wedding hair and makeup companies have a minimum number of services and will allow you to add on additional people as you finalize the details closer to your wedding. 

Make sure their portfolio of work speaks to your personal style. Recommendations from a trusted source, like Wedding Venue Map, are a great place to start! 

Will the wedding hair and makeup artists come on site where I’m getting ready? 

Every single company listed on this page does on-site hair and makeup services. But, the important question to ask is if they travel to your ready location and what, if any, are the travel fees. 

Does the hair stylist usually provide the wedding hair accessories? 

No, you would bring your wedding day hair accessories with you to the trial appointment after you have purchased them. Many of our local Central Florida wedding dress shops here have a wide selection of high-quality options.
