Included with our full day service, whether before your grand entrance, mid-dinner, or just before dancing. We will quickly restyle a pre-designed hair and/or makeup look to coordinate with your next dress or outfit change.
The Second Look
Beginning at 1,800
Extend your experience throughout all portrait sessions, including first-look photos with your soon-to-be, sunset photos and family portraits.
A quick refresh for you walk down the aisle, and following your ceremony we'll be there to carefully remove your veil, reshape your hairstyling, dab away tears and brighten your makeup for your next set of portraits, cocktail hour and before your grand entrance.
Full Day Services
Beginning at 1,500
Begin the morning with your ceremony hair and makeup, followed by our signature concierge services until you’re ready for your first portraits.
Two hours are reserved for your beauty preparation. Your lead artist remains with you until you’re in your gown, touching up where needed, securing your veil, and ensuring you feel relaxed and radiant for your portraits and walk down the aisle.

the
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?
While our core team is intentionally small, we have a sizable, hand-selected team of associate artists across the globe, 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 quality of work 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.
