FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Will I be able to communicate with my artist?
While our talented artists focus on their craft, all administrative communication will be handled through our bridal admin via email. This process ensures that all communication is documented and easily accessible. (Please do not reach out to our artist)
Can clients opt for airbrush makeup?
Our artists are knowledgeable and certified in various makeup applications. However, we have chosen not to offer airbrush makeup, as we find that traditional makeup often yields more satisfying results. If you’re curious about airbrush, we recommend trying it with another artist and comparing the outcomes.
What is the travel fee?
Our travel fee is $1 per mile round trip from the artist’s home base. This fee covers travel for up to three Gloss artists in one vehicle. If additional vehicles are needed, the same fee will apply for each vehicle.
What Payments do you accept?
We offer various payment options, including Venmo, Cash App, cash, or credit/debit cards (with a 4% processing fee).
