FAQ'S

PaperDolls Beauty & Hair does not have exclusive loyalty to any brands. We use any brand that produces quality products and renders the best results. The products we choose to use are based on the individual assessment of each client.  While a majority of our products are professional brands not readily available to consumers, some more recognizable brands that we use are Face Atelier, NARS, Danessa Myricks, Mehron, Juvia’s Place, Laura Mercier, Graftobian, Inglot and a host of others. Most of these are HD formulated and designed for photography and extended wear. We prefer to use our products during your makeup session because we know how they perform and can predict the proper combination to optimize results.

Absolutely! The products and techniques used were developed to ensure maximum durability and longevity. Products used are the same/ similar to those used in production and film.

Yes! PaperDolls Beauty & Hair offers airbrush services. Airbrush is a popular technique used for makeup application. This method is preferred in the television and film industries due to the frequent use of HD production. Airbrush makeup is sprayed on as a fine mist and covers the skin gently and flawlessly.  It is often faster than applying makeup in the traditional fashion.

This fine layering of foundation allows for full but lighter feeling coverage that is buildable to suit the needs of the client. Your skin will have a natural finish that is camera ready. While this method is highly popular, regular makeup application will render similar if not the same results.  Our artists will use their expertise to determine if you are a good candidate for airbrush application.

Yes we can apply false lashes and they are complimentary with every makeup application. We favor lashes that are very natural looking and blend seamlessly into your lash line. If you desire a more dramatic look, please specify this before your appointment. For those who have never worn lashes, this is a painless process that will add that extra “umph” to your look. We will walk you through each step of applying and removing the lashes.

Hair and makeup application typically takes about 45 minutes per service. For larger groups (6 or more), an assistant will be required. Additional fees may apply. Adding an assistant is well worth the investment if you are having an early ceremony or will have strict time constraints. An assistant essentially cuts the time in half because you have two artists working at once. Additional assistants can be added to any contract at the discretion of the client in order to expedite time. Our team can accommodate parties of any size.

Yes and this demographic has become a large percentage of our clientele. From Indian, to Pakistani, to Bangladeshi and even Malaysian brides we have been exposed to many cultures and learned of the many marital traditions that each celebrate. These experiences has given the opportunity to learn sari draping, dupatta pinning, and placement of face jewels (bindi, tikka, etc.)

Pictures are always helpful in visually conveying your ideas to the artist. PaperDolls Beauty & Hair will also provide suggestions during your consultation. If you are still uncertain about the specific look you desire, that is perfectly fine. This allows us to consult with you on various options you may have. Don’t assume you can’t have an up-do because your hair is too short, that your hair won’t take curls or that your eyes are too small for the smokey look you’ve always wanted to try. Let us explore all the possibilities with you and find the look that suits you best!

PaperDolls Beauty & Hair does offer extensions for those who are seeking a look with fuller, longer locks. After a brief consultation, extensions will be custom made for your desired look. The clip-in style that are used are completely safe and non damaging to your natural hair. They are very easy to attach and just as easy to remove. While there are many options available to consumers, we strongly suggest using the extensions provided by PaperDolls Beauty & Hair. These are made with highest quality hair and will be customized for your use. For pricing details, please inquire using the contact form.

Simply arrive at your appointment with CLEAN, COMPLETELY DRY hair. This means hair that does not have excessive product and is not wet/damp. Shine and anti-frizz products tend to make the hair less responsive to our tools.  Blow drying hair is not accounted for in the time schedule. Your face should be clean and moisturized, if necessary. PaperDolls Beauty & Hair will take care of the rest. For more information on preparations for your hair and makeup session, please thoroughly review our Tips & Prep.

Once your request is received and details have been confirmed, an official contract will be emailed to the client for approval. The client will then determine whether to pay a 50% retainer or the full balance.

We currently process all payments electronically.

Retainers are non-refundable.  The client understands that by signing the contract, their date and time have been reserved which may result in loss of business through declining other assignments for that time.

If a client fails to give a 48 hr notice of cancellation for a trial, bridal portrait session, boudoir session, etc. the client understands that the full price will be charged.
