FAQ

Here are some commonly asked questions and answers.  If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Is there anything I should keep in mind when deciding how to do my hair and make-up?

Yes.  Please keep in mind that Costa Rica is a tropical climate, meaning hot and humid.  If you're not used to this sort of climate, you will want to choose hair styles that keep your hair up and you cooler and more comfortable.  March, April and May are the most humid months (April being the hottest AND most humid) so this is especially true in those months.  

Can you come to my hotel/condo for my wedding? 

Yes of course! 

Do you have travel fees? 

Please visit our Pricing & Booking Info page for travel fees.  If your location is not listed, please contact me.

How long will my styling take on my wedding day?

Average length and thickness hair takes about 1 hour.  If you or anyone in your bridal party has very long or thick hair, please let me know so we can allot sufficient time for their appointment. 

Should I book a trial session?

This depends on you, however I highly recommend trial sessions, especially if you are planning on doing your hair and/or make-up in a way you've never done.  At your trial, I can get to know you better and gain experience working with your individual hair.  Since there are no time restraints like there will be on your wedding day, we have time to experiment and find out what works best for you.  This way, when your wedding day arrives, you have the confidence that everything will turn out as you envision.

When can I book my trial?

Any date before your wedding day.  

How should I prepare for my trial and how long does it last?

1. Bring photos of the hair and make-up you have in mind.

2. Try to have all of the hair accessories that you will be wearing on the day of your wedding.
3. Have your hair washed the day before and dry.  Freshly washed hair does not hold styles as well. 

How long does the trial last?

Most trials take about 1-2 hours, but there is no rush.  I set aside time to work with you to create your perfect look.

Where do the trials take place?

You can either come to the salon in Tamarindo or I can come to you (travel fees may apply).
