Here are some Frequently Asked Questions that may make your wedding planning a bit easier.
How far in advance should I book you for my wedding day/event?
We book up very quickly so the sooner the better we have weddings booked as far as 2 years in advance
Do you travel to my location, if so is there a travel fee?
Yes we do go onsite. We do not charge a travel fee to for Newport, RI . You may inquire with us to check our rates for other locations.
Do you offer on-location services for special events/occasions or only weddings?
Yes
What do I need to have set up for you on the wedding day?
Nothing we bring it all. We will arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled start time. We bring everything to you! No need to worry just sit and relax we will be there and you will be looking FABULOUS in no time!
How many people can you accommodate?
We have weddings where it is just the bride to wedding parties of 14. When you reserve the wedding day you are required to list all of the bridal party members who would like services done.
Is it just you or do you have a team?
I do have a team of girls that work for the beauty parlour. We are all licensed cosmetologists and or estheticians. Several of our artists have been in the industry over 8 years. Their resumes range from New York Fashion Week and beyond . Jennie Kay LLC only has the best. Once hired everyone is trained under Jennie Kay.
I would like to have more than one hairstyle on the wedding day, would you stay and restyle my hair?
If we can stay we would love too! The rate is hourly from the time the bride is finished until we are finished restyling you for your second look.
Do you offer discounts for large bridal parties?
We do not offer discounts or sales on our on location services. Occasionally we offer specials for our in studio makeup classes.
How long is the trial?
We book one hour for each service, one hour for hair and one hour for makeup
Should I wash my hair before the trial?
You may wash you hair before the trial just ensure you come in with dry hair
Do I have to have a trial, I live out of state and may not be able to come in for a trial?
No you do not have to have a trial, but it can ensure everything runs smoothly on your wedding day. For example you may need clip-in extensions to achieve the fullness you want in your undo for your day this is something we would need to address in the trial. Also you will have to get your marriage license on a weekday so it may be best to schedule the trial on the same day.
I cannot make it to a weekday trial do you do trials on the weekend?
We try our best to fit you in on the weekend. During our busy season May- November we may be unable to get you in on the weekend because we are booked with weddings. This is why we always suggest to schedule a trial when you have to come in to get your marriage license if you are unable to do a weekday.
My skin is very sensitive will I break out from the products?
We only use the products that are infused with the highest quality of ingredients. We have tried tested out our products on our Jennie Kay> her skin is a the most sensitive of sensitive skins, with eczema on her skin all year round on her face we have narrowed down our most favorite skin moisturizers, primers and foundations for each skin type. This is another reason why we suggest doing a trial incase your skin does not react well to the makeup.
What products do you use in your kit?
We love a little bit of everything , the best of every lines! Whats in our kit???
MAC, Makeup-Forever, Laura Mercier, Temptu Pro, NARS, Jennie Kay Cosmetics, Benefit, and a whole lot of other brands.
What is Airbrush Makeup?
Airbrush makeup is another alternative to traditional makeup. Please see this blog entry on Airbrush Makeup
Do you do destinations weddings?
Absolutely my bag is already packed!
Do you have a minimum for on location services?
Yes our minimum is $300
What if I cannot make the minimum? Do you offer just hair or makeup for the bride?
Please inquire with us, there have been instances where we were already in the hotel for another wedding.
Will you bring your traveling beauty chair?
Abosolutely! Who wouldn’t want a pictures with a hot pink Chair?
May we use another hairstylist or makeup artist not from Jennie Kay?
Yes, we do not require you to book both services. You can book us for just hair, just makeup or both!
How far in advance should I book my trial?
It really depends on you and your schedule. A great time frame is anywhere from 3 months to a few days before your wedding. But again when it is best for you, it what is best for us.
We wish you the best! Be Calm and Get your wedding on….
