The
Merritt Collective
a thoughtfully curated team of true experts with years of experience perfecting their craft.
Our intentionally small team is made up of trusted colleagues and long-time collaborators, chosen not only for their artistry, but for their ability to work symbiotically, their professionalism and care for clients, and importantly, for their love of all things weddings and beauty. Our artists regularly work in celebrity and production environments, bringing a level of expertise that goes beyond the basics.
Listen here, ya'll... Amy's 5-star team are THE premier hair and makeup artists of Colorado.

EXPERIENCE
BEGINS HERE
To make us part of your celebration, please have your wedding planner reach out to our office team directly, or complete the wedding inquiry form linked below.
Can you work with large wedding parties?
We have a sizable, hand-selected team of associate artists and we're able to accommodate large wedding parties. For a relaxing getting-ready experience, we book up to five (5) clients per artist and book additional artistry when needed.
Can I use my own hairstylist or makeup artist?
To ensure a high standard of service and aesthetic is met for both hair and makeup, our contracts include an exclusivity provision and we only work alongside Merritt Collective artists for the bride and bridal party.
Do you charge a travel fee?
For locations outside of our local range, a modest travel fee will be added. Destination weddings are booked at day rates and include additional travel fees.
What fees are included for destination weddings?
Reimbursed travel fees include airfare, lodging, ground transportation to/from airports and on-location, travel day rates and per diem fees. Destination bookings start at $4000 before travel.
Do you sell or provide clip-in extensions?
We do not sell or provide clip-in hair extensions, but our hairstylists will apply your clip-ins as part of our service. We recommend The Hair Shop for the best quality extensions. If your clip-ins require trimming on the day-of, we'll schedule additional time for the trim. Hair/clip-in trims are an additional $75. We strongly recommend extensions for Hollywood wave hairstyles.
What is your cancelation and postponement policy?
Canceled services incur a $250 administration fee. Services canceled within 60 days of the event are charged in full. Based on availability, first payments are transferrable. Original contracted rates are not guaranteed and are subject to change without notice.
Do your artists use airbrush?
For the most natural, skin-like finish, we use traditional application methods (brushes, sponges, and fingers.)
Should I tip the artist?
Tips are always appreciated, but never expected. Gratuity may be paid directly to the artist(s) for the recognition of exemplary service.

Yes! Each time a couple works with a Merritt Collective Artist they are intentionally paired, never randomly assigned. We welcome your interest in specific artists, and you can expect each one to deliver the same warmth, calm, and excellence, every time.
