General Wedding Questions:
Can you hold my wedding date for me?
Absolutely! You can book your wedding by signing a contract and paying your deposit. However, we do not offer 'soft holds.'
Will Jen be at my wedding?
Yes! Unless otherwise contracted, Jen will be the lead hair and makeup artist.
How much is a trial?
One trial session is included for a bride in her hair and/or makeup price.
Can I come to you for my trial?
Yes, that is preferable. I am located at 45-275 Prickly Pear, Suite #5, Palm Desert, CA. 92260 [inside KM Salon].
Can you come to me for my trial?
Yes, if scheduling should allow. There is an additional fee for travel.
But I don't want to book you until after the trial! What should I do?
The best advice I have is to look over my portfolio and see if the look you're going for is represented in my work. If it isn't, I may not be the artist/stylist for you. If it is, awesome, I will be honored to help you! Also, you're free to end your contract up until 2 months before the wedding date without a cancellation fee. However, you would forfeit the deposit.
Do you travel to me for my wedding day?
Absolutely, I prefer to be where my couple is for their most magical day! Travel fees will apply (including any lodging, valet, parking, meters, rental cars, or flights).
How do you sanitize your kit?
I have Completed a course through The Sanitation Conversation. It goes into detail about how to apply makeup in the most sanitary way, as well as how to avoid cross contamination between clients.
Service always begins with washed hands. I bring my own table and chair to make sure I know EXACTLY where that chair has been (just THINK about how gross hotel room chairs are!) My makeup kit is stocked with plenty of disposable applicators to maintain the upmost level of sanitation. I do not practice "double dipping". Every client will have a fresh set of brushes used for their service. Prior to arrival to a job; All brushes are cleaned, disinfected and then placed into a UV Sanitizer light by PhoneSoap. My chair and kit is sanitized between clients using 70% Isporbyl Alcohol (any % higher and it evaporates too quickly) or sanitation wipes. I do not use the back of my hand unless I have a sterile adhesive palette on my hand (by GlamCor.).
Every time a product is used, it's de-potted into an artist's palette.
If you have any specific questions, PLEASE ask, I am an open book.
What brands do you use?
We only stock professional/high end products in our kits. They include Becca, Laura Mercier, Makeup Forever, Nars, Alterna, Kevin Murphy and more. If you have a specific allergy to a product, please disclose that information before the service begins.
What are your wedding prices?
Please use the contact portal in regards to wedding bookings. An average Bride (including one trial session) and 3 party members hair and makeup is approximately $1300*. Again, please inquire to receive a current price breakdown.

Makeup Questions: |
I'm androgynous. Can you work with me to honor my makeup needs?
I would be honored to. I do my absolute best to listen and provide the best service possible. Even if it's simply moisturizer, chapstick and combing those brows. Do you offer tattoo cover up? If the tattoo is about the size of a half dollar or smaller, yes. Anything larger and you will need to hire an artist that specializes in tattoo cover ups. |
Do you offer Airbrush makeup?
Not at this time. But I want Airbrush makeup! No problem, I can refer you to an artist that uses an Airbrush machine. Do you provide lashes or should I bring my own? We definitely bring plenty of lash options; individuals, clusters or lash strips. You are allowed to provide your own, if you prefer. There is an additional charge for faux mink or specialty lashes. Will my makeup last all day? Yes. We use waterproof and water resistant products to ensure longevity of wear. JPC also provides a personalized makeup touch-up kit for all makeup clients. I like natural makeup, is that something you do? Absolutely! That is what I specialize in! If you want the softest look, I am your girl! But, I mean *really* natural! Is that still okay?! YES! I LOVE super natural looks! I have had brides with no foundation and grooms with concealer and powder. I've done it all...no lashes, no problem, no lipstick, easy! How do you sanitize your kit? I know that lately this has been a massive concern and I am so happy that I have always been a germophobe. To read a more detailed answer; Please see above in "General Questions" |
Hair Questions:
Is a blowdry included in my "Hairstyle price"?
Short answer: No. We require the hair to be clean and completely dry for all hair styling. A blowdry is a separate service and cost. Does it cost more if I use my clip-in extensions? Yes, We do not provide any extensions. If we work with your clip-in extensions, it's an additional $30 per person. What brand of extensions do you recommend? I highly recommend The Hair Shop. They have an online store as well as brick and mortar locations in LA, SF and NYC. I recommend 100% human, Remi hair. Should my hair be clean or dirty on the day of? Please have clean, dry hair for the wedding day. Dirty hair can actually be harder to work with. There are plenty of products on the market that can give hair any "grit" that it needs. Do you work with curly hair? We LOVE curls over here. Like, can't get enough. So if you're a curly haired human., you'll be well taken care of! |
What about short hair?
Not a problem at all! We have rates for short vs. long hair for any gender. |
