PRETTY LITTLE DETAILS

What’s a Collective? ‍The Pretty Committee is a collective of independent hair and makeup artists who come together to make your wedding-day beauty dreams a reality! We each run our own businesses and work from different locations rather than operating out of one salon or agency. When you book with us, you get the experience and artistry of individual professionals who share a passion for creating beautiful wedding-day looks.

Are we the right fit for you? If you love timeless beauty with a modern twist, we just might be your people! The Pretty Committee specializes in natural to soft-glam beauty, blending classic techniques with modern trends to create looks that feel elevated, polished, and uniquely you. We believe your wedding-day look should enhance your natural features, reflect your personal style, and still feel like you when you look back on your photos years from now.

BOOKING & DEPOSITS

FAQ: Do you require a deposit?
Yes. A non-refundable $80 deposit is required to secure your date. This amount will be applied toward your day-of services.

FAQ: How soon in advance should I book my event?
We strongly recommend booking up to 12 months in advance, as popular dates fill quickly!

HAIR & MAKEUP SERVICES

FAQ: How long does it take for hair and makeup per person?
On average, we allot 45 minutes per service per person. We recommend building plenty of time into your getting-ready timeline so you can relax and enjoy the experience without feeling rushed! Your desired first-look time typically helps determine when hair and makeup should begin, so we encourage you to work closely with your photographer to establish a timeline that allows ample time for getting ready, final touches, and photos before heading off to your first look. A little extra breathing room goes a long way in keeping the morning stress-free!

FAQ: What if I want to do a trial run?
Trial runs aren’t required, but highly recommended! If you're interested, we suggest booking your trial 1–2 months before your wedding.

FAQ: How many artists will you send?
The number of artists depends on your timeline, bridal party size, and services needed. Our Collective collaborates to ensure we're fully staffed when extra hands are needed.

FAQ: Do you offer airbrush makeup? The Pretty Committee exclusively uses traditional makeup. In our experience, airbrush foundation isn’t always the most inclusive option for different skin textures. Traditional makeup allows for more flexibility and tends to look more natural and skin-like, especially up close.‍ ‍‍ ‍‍

FAQ: How should I prepare for my hair and/or makeup service? To help your services run smoothly and achieve the best results, please arrive with a clean, makeup-free face and clean, dry hair. Bring any inspiration photos or reference images you'd like to share with your artist. Please communicate any concerns, including allergies, product sensitivities, or previous reactions to products, to your artist ahead of time. We’ll also provide a preparation guide with additional tips and best practices to help you feel ready for your wedding day!

BRIDAL PARTY & GROUP SIZE

FAQ: Is there a minimum booking requirement?
Yes! We require a minimum of 4 services per stylist for on-location bookings to accommodate travel and scheduling. If you have a smaller party, we encourage you to inquire anyway, as availability and options may vary by artist and location.

FAQ: What if I have a large bridal party? Do you offer discounts for larger bookings?
We love a full bridal party! The Pretty Committee can help coordinate hair and makeup services for larger groups by bringing together the right artists for your wedding-day needs. Because each artist within our collective is independently owned and operated, pricing is set individually based on services, experience, and business expenses. For this reason, we don’t offer group or package discounts for larger bookings.

Whether you need hair, makeup, or both for your entire crew, we encourage you to inquire! We’ll help you explore your options and coordinate a team that fits your party size, services, and wedding-day timeline.

TRAVEL & LOCATION

FAQ: Do you charge a travel fee?
Yes. Travel fees vary by location — please inquire for a custom quote. If applicable, any parking fees or overnight stays must also be covered by the party. Any travel over 2 hours will require lodging and must be covered by the party. Please note we do not transfer locations once we are on-site.

FAQ: How are travel fees calculated?
Each artist within The Pretty Committee operates independently and has their own home base, which serves as the starting point for calculating travel mileage. Because our artists aren’t based within one centralized location, travel distances and associated fees will vary depending on which artist you book and your wedding-day location. We’ll communicate any applicable travel fees upfront so you know exactly what to expect!

ADDITIONAL FEES THAT MAY APPLY:

Holidays:
Holiday bookings are subject to an additional holiday fee. Fee of $50 per stylist applied for weddings/events scheduled on a holiday weekend. We follow the U.S. government’s federal holiday calendar to determine which dates qualify.

Early Bird:
Early Bird fee of $50 per stylist for parties starting at 7a.m. or earlier.

**Travel fees and/or any additional fees must be collected before the day of your event. Again, we’ll communicate any applicable fees with you upfront so you know exactly what to expect.

PAYMENTS

FAQ: What forms of payment do you accept?
Each artist accepts individual payments. Please inquire with your artist.
