Question 1

What is your booking process?

Accepted Answer

To secure your date, we require a signed contract, and a 50% non-transferable/non-refundable retainer, which is taken off your total. To ensure seamless planning, we charge a $25 concierge fee to manage contracts, create detailed timelines, and maintain open communication throughout the planning process.

Question 2

How is travel handled?

Accepted Answer

Travel is based on your location and your artist's/stylist's location. For any location under 20 miles, there is a flat $10 travel fee. For anything over 20 miles, the fee is $0.75/mile per artist for any location(s) over 20 miles. The travel fee covers the cost of gas, mileage, and wear and tear on vehicles. Additionally, any ancillary fees such as parking or tolls are also required.

Question 3

Do you offer trials?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely - and we highly suggest having one! We offer a package that includes a preview (only available to booked clients) which allows you to preview your look for your big day. We offer trials for those looking to trial us before booking. Check out our blog (https://www.galsandghouls.com/blog/trials) for information about trials and why they are important!

Question 4

Do you offer airbrush?

Accepted Answer

We offer both traditional and airbrush applications. To learn more about the difference between the two and what may work best for you - be sure to read our blog post (https://www.galsandghouls.com/blog/airbrush-vs-traditional)!

Question 5

Will I look like myself?

Accepted Answer

We hear this question from so many of our clients and want to assure you that you will look like your best self - whatever that may look like to you! From natural glam to full-on drama, we have you covered. Even if you don't typically wear makeup, we would suggest you have a natural look for your big day! Check out our blog post (https://www.galsandghouls.com/blog/makeupmatters) for more information on why!

Question 6

Will you come to the venue?

Accepted Answer

Yes! As long as we have the adequate space we need to be able to provide the services, we will travel to whatever location is most convenient to do services at - the venue, a hotel room, a home, etc. Something to keep in mind is many venues have rules on what time you are allowed to access the space. As long as this works with our timeline then there should be no issues!

Question 7

The venue won't work - where else can I get ready?

Accepted Answer

We have a studio space located in Lake Orion that can be used for smaller bridal parties. If you are staying at a hotel, we suggest asking about their meeting room/conference spaces as they offer more space and flexibility then a hotel room!

Question 8

What is your grooming service?

Accepted Answer

We offer both grooming and complexion-only services for individuals who want to look polished for the big event but do not want a traditional beauty application. We have a blog (https://www.galsandghouls.com/blog/grooming) directed towards grooms but this service is open to everyone and anyone - regardless of gender or event!

Question 9

I have allergies or sensitive skin, can I still get makeup done?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! We use professional products that are hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic, ensuring they won't irritate sensitive skin. Additionally, we maintain a searchable ingredient list to crossreference specific allergies, guaranteeing that the products used are tailored to your needs and won't cause any adverse reactions.
