Frequently asked questions

If you have any questions that are not answered below, please feel free to send us an email.

We book up to 1 year in advance. If your wedding is more than a year in away, please check back when you are 12 months out. But, don’t wait too long! We book up very quickly and work on a first-come, first-serve basis. 1 year out is the perfect time to book.

With a signed contract and a deposit. (25% of your contract total) You are not officially a booked bride until we have both of those things.

E-mail! We stay very busy with appointments during the week and weddings on the weekends, so please contact us via email and give us at least 48 hours to respond. (Especially over the weekends). If you call, be sure to leave a voicemail so we can get back to you. Please do not message us via social media because we don’t always see those.

Please fill out the contact form on our website.

We book our artists and make our schedules based on the numbers you provide for us. You will need to make asking them a priority in order for us to give you an accurate proposal and quote. Once numbers are added to the contract, they cannot be removed without penalty. Numbers can be increased, but we do take multiple bookings and we may have to say no. For these reasons, we appreciate an accurate count as soon as possible.

Yes. Feb-Jun and Sept-Dec we require a minimum of 12 services for Saturday weddings and 10 services for Fri/Sun weddings. Each service individually counts as 1. So, for example, your hair and makeup would be 2 Essentially, you need 6 total people getting both hair and makeup (including yourself). Jan, July, and Aug, please inquire. Services on seperate days aside from the wedding do not count toward the total number. Flower girls also do not count toward the total.

Yes! We include ONE trial of hair and makeup in the LoLa Luxe package. We highly suggest a trial so that you can figure out your wedding day look, meet your stylist, and test out the hair and makeup. Additional sessions are always available for $200.

We stay VERY busy with weddings over the weekends, so we can only schedule trials Mondays-Thursdays for this reason. Our salon is by appointment only, and because we don’t hold traditional business hours, we are able to schedule trials early mornings or late evenings, if necessary.

Trials are a great way to get an idea of exactly what you want for wedding day. Sometimes, you aren’t sure of how something will look on you until you give it a try! But, let’s get the experiments out of the way prior to the big day. Trials consist of a full consulation of hair and makeup and take place at our studio. They last approximately an hour per service. So, if you are getting both hair and makeup, please allow for 2 hours at your appointment.

We prefer to work on CLEAN, DRY hair. We only offer dry-styling as a service, so please arrive with completely dry hair. Use the weeks leading up to the trial to prepare your skin. Wax, get a facial, hydrate, spray tan, etc. Whatever you are going to do for your wedding, try to do it before the trial as well so you can get a clear idea of how it will all work together! The first step to beautiful makeup is well-prepared skin. Also, bring your accessories if you have them. (Veil, hair jewlrey, extensions, etc)

Whoever you’d like! However, we do ask that you limit your guests to 2. We often have multiple trials happening at once and our studio can becoming crowded very quickly.

We can only guarantee an artist if you trial within 6 months of your wedding. Otherwise, the person you trial with may not be your wedding day artist. Many times, brides will book us for engagements, but then schedule a second session closer to the big day for their wedding trial.

For the trial, you will need to come to our studio. For wedding day, yes! We will travel to you. You also have the option of booking our studio if you choose.

Yes, travel within Austin/Denver City Limits is $50 or hotel parking fee (whichever is higher). Anything outside of Austin/Denver is determined by mileage from our studio.

As many as you can throw at us! (As long as we aren’t already booked). We have done 27 hairs and 27 makeups at one wedding before. Can you beat that?

This is a tough question because it varies depending on length/amount of hair, style chosen, amount of makeup desired, etc. However, as a general rule, hair takes approximately 30-35 min and makeup takes approx 40-45 min. We reserve at least an hour and a half for the bride on wedding day.

Don’t worry, A LOT of our brides are unsure of they want. We suggest browsing Pinterest and Instagram and saving photos of women that are representative of yourself . For example, if you have dark hair, we recommend searching for hairstyles on women with dark hair. That will help you to get an idea of how the style you choose might look on you. Same goes for length/amount of hair, eye shape, skin tone, etc. If you are still unsure, we are here to help! We can offer some suggestions that will best suit you and can give advice based on our expertise.

Absolutely! A majority of our brides wear little to no makeup in their daily lives. We do not have just one standar makeup application. This is the perfect occasion to take it up a notch! But at LoLa Beauty, we specialize in enhancing your natural beauty while creating a look that is flawless in photos. It’s an art that we feel we have mastered!

Yes, EVERY package comes with false lashes. Even for Grandma if she wants them!

We ask that everyone comes with CLEAN, DRY hair and a makeup-free, moistured face. This is a big one. People tend to show up with wet (or damp) hair and it can set us back on time. Please remind your bridal party and family to come with completely dry hair.

For the bride, yes. For the bridal party/family, no. They are an additional $25 and we need to know ahead of time if anyone will be needing extensions applied so that we can allow extra time.

Plenty of table space, outlets, short chairs, and natural light (if possible!). Other than that, we provide everything including tall makeup chairs, extra lighting, and fully stocked kits.

The number of stylists we send will be based upon the amount of services booked in combination with the amount of time we have to get you ready. We require 5 hours for every 8 services booked. If you are unable to give us the time we require, then you will need to hire an additional artist ($125). A lot of venues don’t let you in until a certain time, so be sure to check with them when considering your getting ready location!

That is the time that the stylists need to be completely finished with hair and makeup. Please take into consideration travel to the venue, getting into your dress, photos (getting ready, robe photos, bridal party photos, first looks, etc), guests’ arrival, and buffer time before the ceremony.

At least 30 days prior to the event. You can pay ahead of time if you’d like as well.
