We call our trials "previews" because this collaborative session gives us the chance to work with you to showcase your desired wedding look! We allot 1.5 hours for a single service preview (makeup or hair) or 2.5 - 3 hours for both. During your preview, we will review your makeup and hair inspiration photos, and discuss any and all details of your wedding. We will ask you about dress colours, florals, theme, family dynamics (yep!), and even how much dancing you'll be doing. Previews are so important because they allow us to really get to know you as a bride, and all the feedback we get from you is what allows us to create a beautiful makeup look and hairstyle that lasts all day!

You certainly can! However, we cannot hold wedding dates without a signed contract and retainer.

About 4 weeks before your wedding day is ideal. At this time, your hair will be closest to the condition, colour and texture to what it will be like on your wedding day. Your skin will also be more similar to what it may be like on your wedding day. This one month "buffer period" will also allow you to make any necessary changes to your hair colour if need be (ie. add more highlights, get more layers). Be sure to contact us to book your preview if you haven't already!

Our studio is not very large, but we do welcome one guest or bestie! We just advise that you bring someone with similar aesthetic taste and style as you. It's so important to bring someone who you trust implicitly, as the opinions of others' can often confuse the bride. For example, If you love to wear red lipstick, but your mom doesn't, think of how mom's feedback may impact you. Our goal is to support you in all of your beauty choices, so just bring someone you know who has your beast interests at heart!

While it’s rare for a member of the bridal party to request a preview, we are happy to accommodate! However, since the quality of work and service time is the same as a bridal preview, the cost is also the same. A more affordable option is to just book a separate special occasion service for a night out, or a group glam session for your bachelorette. This is a great alternative for bridal party members who want to get to know us before the wedding day!

That's totally okay! But remember that having your entire bridal party serviced by us creates cohesion for all of your photos and videos. Our team is like a small family; we work well together, and can guarantee service timing. If any bridesmaids opt out of a service, it will likely be noticeably visible in photos/videos. Their hair may not last or have flyaways and their makeup may become shiny, fade away or just be too dramatic for your vision. That being said, we understand everyone has different financial priorities, so if time allows, we're happy to accommodate last minute makeup or hair services on the day.

For the bridal party, we block off 45 minutes for hair or makeup, or 1.5 hours for both. For the bride, we block off 1 hour for hair or makeup, or 2 hours for both. Some added time is necessary to ensure the bride is absolutely flawless and feels relaxed before the first look, close-up photos or walk down the isle. **Please designate someone from your bridal party to answer any questions that may come your way during your bridal beauty session. "Passing the torch (phone)" will allow you to breathe, enjoy some quiet time, and take in all the special moments of the morning.**

Yes. Contracted services are definitive and ensures we have the appropriate number of artists reserved for your day. If you wish to add services later, we will do our best to accommodate additions.

Your makeup and hair should last all day, but to provide you with some added insurance, you will be given a touch-up bag after your service. If you would still like someone to return to a second location for touch-ups or a look change, we can definitely make that happen! Additional fees and travel (if applicable) will apply.

We can accommodate any number of clients. The larger the number of services, the more artists we bring to glam you up! The only concern you need to worry about here is space. Ensure you have enough space for your crew to be comfortable, and acount for the extra bodies and kits.

Yes, just like every job, more hands on deck requires a bit more of an investment too! Usually an artist can cover up to 6 services comfortably on their own. A detailed quote with the number of artists needed, and a timing block will be provided to you after you inquire. If you prefer express services (adding in another artist when it is not needed) an express service fee will apply.

Many of our artists are trained in airbrush and would love to give you that extra level of care! Airbrush formula foundation goes on the skin with a super fine air mist that is amazing for those who don't require a lot of coverage and want to keep the skin super light. It's also great for covering acne or other textured skin, as it's less disturbed by brushes. We do not recommend airbrush for mature skin. Traditional foundation, when applied by a Carley Artistry skilled artist, can produce as flawless finish as airbrush, if not better! The formulas and colour ranges are more customizable and our talented artists know how to create a barely there finish with any product.

Our artists use a variety of well known and professional products from brands like; Danessa Myricks, Dior, Charlotte Tilbury, Natasha Denona, Fenty, Temptu, Ben Nye, Mehron, Mac, Makeup Forever, Nars, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Laura Mercier and many more. We choose our products based on performance and not by brand name. Each individual product has been tested in multiple scenarios for longevity, and sensitivity and before it ever touches a clients face.

We will travel to the ends of the earth to get you ready for your wedding! For anywhere within Toronto proper, travel is on us! Other locations outside of our local area is charged at a rate of $1/km from M4S 1E6 in both directions.

YES! For better or worse, us big city folks are accustomed to a certain level of service, which is sometimes not available in other countries.
