FAQ:
When should I book Makeup for my Wedding or Portrait Session?
If you have booked a venue for your wedding, it is important to start booking your beauty squad as soon as possible. During the spring/summer season, wedding dates tend to fill up quickly. Therefore, it’s important to save your date and contact me as soon as possible. For portrait sessions, it’s recommended to contact me as soon as the date for the photo session is set. To secure your date for a wedding or portrait session, a deposit is required along with a signed contract. This helps protect both the artist and the client in case of any last-minute cancellations or emergencies.

What is included for makeup/ hair for portraits and special events?
A personalized makeup look, lashes full set or individual, and the option to add a touch-up kit or makeup trial run.
What is a trial run?
As a makeup artist, I set up a mutually agreed time with you, the client, to discuss and create your ideal makeup look. This time is dedicated to you, so don’t hesitate to let me know what you like and don’t like about your inspirational picture. The little details matter, and it helps us achieve a better outcome by knowing them. Once we agree on the look you would like to try, I will begin with the makeup application.
How long do appointments take?
BRIDAL TRIAL RUN: Makeup: 1 hour application time & 15 min consultation
WEDDING DAY SERVICES: Bride: 1 hour || Bridal Party: 45 minutes
PORTRAIT APPOINTMENTS: 1 hour application time & 15 min consultation
Because of COVID, there will be additional time between each client to make sure all tools, beauty items, and workspace are properly sanitized to keep both me the artist, and you the client safe.
What is your COVID protocol?
Each client Danika Lav works with will have a designated set of tools and brushes that will not be used on any other clients. All beauty items and workspace will be wiped down between each client. Danika Lav will be wearing a face shield and/or medical-grade mask.
Airbrush vs Classic:
Airbrush makeup is a technique that involves using a machine to spray a very thin layer of makeup in a fine mist form. The result is a very natural-looking, skin-like coverage that is buildable and water/sweat-resistant. On the other hand, the classic foundation comes in either a cream or liquid form and is applied using brushes instead of machines. It has the flexibility to cover light to full coverage, and the artist can customize the way the product looks on the face. The preference between airbrush and classic foundation depends on the individual, as both techniques can achieve a beautiful result that lasts the whole wedding day.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel fees for clients are based on a few factors such as the time it takes to drive to the client’s venue or portrait location, and whether the start time is before 8:00 a.m. These fees are included in your initial quote and can be adjusted before the appointment date if necessary.
What forms of payments do you accept?
I gladly accept Venmo, PayPal, and cash.
Do you work with other makeup and hairstylist?
Absolutely! In the case of large groups, I usually work with another Makeup Artist. As for hair, I can suggest a skilled Licensed Hair Stylist. If you’re looking for bridal hair, I have a few trusted Hair stylists that I can recommend to you.
