I typically book 6–12 months in advance, especially for peak dates and weekends. If you have a specific date in mind, I recommend reaching out as early as possible to secure your spot. That said, it’s always worth inquiring, as I occasionally have last-minute availability due to cancellations or schedule changes.

To ensure every client receives the highest quality makeup application, I allow:

• 1 hour for the bride’s service

• 30-45 minutes for each member of the wedding party.

• 10 mins or less for flowergirls

Since I work strictly as a solo artist and do not bring, hire, or manage assistant artists, my maximum service count is 6.

If your bridal party exceeds my service limit, any additional services will need to independently secure an outside makeup artist. I am happy to provide recommendations!

A confirmed final service count is required 30 days prior to the wedding date to ensure accurate invoicing. Any adjustments made within 30 days of the event may be subject to revised pricing. Therefore, after the 30 day window, the final count is considered locked in.

No minimum is required to book.

Bridal hair services are not provided & you would be responsible for finding a separate hair artist. Shy is happy to recommend a trusted, detail-oriented stylist for your wedding day, just let her know when inquiring!

As a licensed esthetician, I offer additional esthetic services including facials, brow waxing, dermaplaning, spray tanning and lash lifts to support your bridal skin prep. These services are designed to be scheduled in the weeks leading up to your wedding day.

Bridal trials are available exclusively after your non-refundable retainer is secured and your contract is signed, ensuring your wedding date is fully reserved.

All payments, including the retainer and final balance, must be submitted as a single transaction through the invoice by the specified due date. Cash payments are accepted!

Individual or split payments are not accepted. This helps maintain a seamless, relaxed wedding morning focused on your makeup experience rather than transactional approach. Thank you for understanding!

In the event when services no longer be needed, your retainer remains non-refundable. Cancellations made within 30 days of the wedding date will also result in forfeiture of the second payment.

This policy is in place to protect reserved time and commitments.

Yes!! Complimentary travel is provided for locations up to 50 miles (one way) within Columbus for bride packages.

• A travel fee of $2.00 per mile will be applied for any distance exceeding the included mileage. This fee is collected as the retainer for wedding party only reservations.

• For travel that exceeds beyond 2 hours of travel will/may require an overnight stay at a hotel/Airbnb and will be charged as a separate cost from services and travel.

Yes, I am happy to service children and will not charge for light shimmer & gloss. I believe flower girls should have a princess moment in my chair. Please let me know when inquiring :)

No worries at all! To help make your day as stress-free as possible, I bring everything needed for your makeup services on-site, including my artist chair, portable table, professional makeup kit, and lighting.

Thank you for the kind gesture! My go to coffee order is an iced vanilla latte (with blonde expresso if they have it;))

Your spray tan trial can be scheduled 1–2 months before your wedding day for your perfect shade and desired depth.

Your final wedding day spray tan should be scheduled approximately 48 hours before your wedding for the most fresh-looking results.

For the best results before your wedding day, Shy recommends scheduling your teeth whitening session 1–2 weeks before your event. This allows your smile to reach its brightest while giving any temporary sensitivity time to subside.

Dermaplaning is best scheduled 7–14 days before your wedding day. This treatment gently removes dead surface cells and fine facial hair, helping create a smoother canvas for makeup application.

If you are new to dermaplaning, Shy recommends scheduling your first treatment 1–2 months before your wedding to see how your skin responds and determine the ideal timing for your final treatment.
