IMPORTANT INFORMATION

 

 

Booking & Travel Policy

BOOKING YOUR EVENT- Amount of Booking fee $150

A non-refundable booking fee is required and applies only to travel within a specified radius. This fee is not applied toward any services. Additional travel and stylist fees are also due at the time of contract signing and are non-refundable.

The booking fee includes:

• Travel within 15 miles of 3853 Five Mile Rd, Traverse City, MI 49686
   

• Unlimited email and text communication (phone calls are welcome, but a paper copy of our communications is necessary for organization)
   

• A customized hair and makeup itinerary for your wedding day
   

For travel beyond 15 miles, please see details at the bottom of this page.

Holiday Bookings:
A $250 non-refundable booking fee applies to weddings held on a holiday weekend (two days before, the day of, and two days after the holiday), including the week between Christmas and New Year’s Eve.

 

Services & Payment Policy

The contract includes space to list each attendant and their requested services. Once submitted, I will provide a total cost.

• Up to 50% of the total is due at the time of contract signing.
   

• The remaining balance is due in cash on the wedding day, unless other arrangements are made.
   

• Your date is not secured until all required fees and payments are received.
   

• All payments are non-refundable.
   

While we’ll do our best to accommodate additional services, no cancellations or service reductions are allowed after the contract is submitted.

Subcontracted Weddings:
If your wedding is serviced by one of my team members, 50% is due upfront, with the remainder due on the wedding day.

 

Trial Appointments

Please note that trials are not included and not complimentary.

• Trials are available Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays only, due to weekend weddings and other contracted events.
   

• All trials take place at 1128 E 8th St, Traverse City, MI 49686.
   

• Contact me early to schedule your trial—preferably close to your event month—to account for seasonal changes in hair and skin.

​

As a fully booked stylist, I typically schedule appointments 2 months in advance, so early booking is essential.

​

For Weddings Booked with Team Artists:
Trials are still scheduled through me, and we’ll coordinate an evening appointment that works for everyone’s schedule. Keep in mind that team members may have additional jobs, so the sooner we schedule, the better.

All trial payments must be made to Emily Henning, regardless of which artist is assigned. A 20% gratuity will be added to all trial service subtotals.

 

Our Team
Whether you're working with me directly or one of my talented team members, we are genuinely excited to be part of your special day. Most of our team has been together for over three years, and we pride ourselves on creating a seamless, personalized experience—whether working together or individually.

If you're matched with one of our artists, rest assured I’ll remain your main point of contact throughout the planning process. Once booked, you’ll also be introduced directly to your stylist for coordination.

Communication
To ensure clarity and organization, all correspondence will be conducted via email to maintain a written record of updates and agreements. While I’m happy to chat by phone when needed, all final decisions must be confirmed in writing.

Please reply within a single email thread to help us stay organized as a team, especially during the busy wedding season.
