My original artist cancelled on me 3 nights before my big day and Tanita was able to rescue the situation.
Her work is phenomenal and she was the best hype girl too! She made me feel so relaxed the entire day 🤍May 2025

Questions brides ask

More about bridal hair and makeup

Do you travel to the venue?

Yes, I am fully mobile. I come to your venue, hotel or home anywhere in Durban and the surrounding areas. Travel is quoted by distance and is not included in the rates.

When should I book my wedding hair and makeup?

Six to twelve months before the wedding is ideal. Peak Saturdays between September and April go first.

Is a trial included?

A trial is R1 500 and covers hair and makeup. Trials are for confirmed brides and happen eight to twelve weeks before the wedding.

Are hair and makeup priced separately?

Yes. Hair and makeup are separate services, so a bride and four bridesmaids having both counts as ten services. Bridal makeup is R800, bridal hair R700, and the bridal party is R700 for makeup and R550 for hair.
