Airbrush makeup can enhance fine lines, peach fuzz, wrinkles and dry patches more than traditional foundation that is applied with a brush. We recommend having a solid personalized skincare regimen along with dermaplaning to get the best results. A consistent glowing skin care recipe goes a long way too!

Hair that is washed and blow dried the night before styles best. Hair should be washed with salon professional products and blow dried with a round brush or a flat paddle brush. You can use 2-3 of your favorite products before blow drying. Upon our arrival, clean hair with no product other than heat protectant is recommended. We can apply dry shampoo before styling to get rid of excessive oil if need be. If you are working with your natural curls then you are free to use your favorite products on wet and dry hair before we start styling.

For acne-prone skin, we are able to color correct and conceal problem areas efficiently. Setting powder and setting spray will help ensure the product doesn't move throughout the day. Please keep in mind that there is only so much that Artist's can do with textured skin. Also, please note that any friction to the makeup can cause smudging. We recommend traditional foundation over airbrush foundation for maximum coverage.

You must specify prior to making your reservation if you have a preference for your skin type. If not, Viva La Glam will use their best judgement on which Makeup Artist to schedule. Not every Artist on our team offers airbrush foundation.

Most lipsticks used in our kits tend to stay all night long. However, we can't guarantee this. Anyone receiving makeup services are recommended to purchase a lipstick in advance and to bring the lipstick with them to the appointment.

Some sunscreens can cause flashback in photos and may not mix well with makeup products. Please check with us prior to your appointment. 

We keep a variety of strip eyelashes stocked in our kits ranging from natural to soft glam to bold to cat eye lashes. If you have a specific style in mind, please send us a picture at least 2 weeks before your appointment. Strip eyelashes in colors other than black and individual eyelashes must be requested at least 2 weeks prior to the appointment. 

About 90% of the pictures in our portfolio are basic hairstyles. If you think what you’re looking for is a lot more detailed and will require a lot more time to complete, then send us a picture! We can confirm which service the hairstyle would classify as. The chart at the bottom of this page will help you determine the style for your density/length as well. 

Specialty hairstyles are more intricate, detailed and time consuming. Hair that is hard to curl that requires curling & pinning to cool down before styling is a specialty hairstyle. The old hollywood vintage waves typically require that process to be done. If your style has 3+ braids then you may have a specialty hairstyle as well. Steampunk, boho braids and viking hairstyles are typically specialty hairstyles. Thick medium to long hair that is being styled in a downdo is typically a specialty hairstyle. 

Updo hairstyles tend to take less time to do. A downdo requires every single section of hair to be curled, which will take a lot more time to do.  

We do not supply hair extensions. We just install them. The extensions must be 100% human hair. Clips ins only.  Hair extensions are an excellent addition to your hairstyle to help hold curls.

At this time, we do not. Any cushions that are needed for extra volume must be provided by the Client. Hair accessories such as pins, twines and combs must be provided by the Client as well. 

An updo style is the best option!

Hairstyling services can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2.5 hours per person, depending on the desired look and the client's hair type. To ensure proper scheduling, we recommend booking the appropriate style in advance, as switching from a basic to a specialty hairstyle may not be accommodated on the day of your appointment.

Switching the services later on can change the servicing time frame drastically, which may require you to do the servicing at another location that allows entry at an earlier time. That is if the original Artist is able to do so and doesn't have other appointments booked for the day by the time that you make this switch. Changing the hairstyling services later on may not doable if the original booked Artist isn't able to accommodate the changes or if another Artist isn't available anymore to help out by the time you give the notice.

Switching the hairstyling services later on could require an additional Artist or two to be scheduled (depends on the timeline and Artist’s availability). Service pricing that was already locked in with an Artist cannot decrease. So if another Artist or two is added on after being booked, then more services would most likely need to be booked. The reason being is a service minimum requirement may be needed for the new Artist(s).

Please note that changing from a specialty hairstyle to a basic hairstyle will not change the price that was locked in. The time frame can change though, if you’d like. We understand this is a lot of information. There are a lot of factors that go into the scheduling process and pricing when it comes to hair services. Knowing the official hair details before booking is super important so we can make sure the booking process and appointment day runs smoothly for all parties.

Getting a Brazilian blowout before your appointment will make a big difference. Additionally, doing a blowout with frizz-control products before we arrive will help minimize frizz. We'll use humidity-blocking and strong-hold products to keep your hair looking flawless all day. Afterward, staying in a shaded, dry area will further help prevent frizz.
