Colorado bridal hair & makeup · Wyoming & destination
RECOGNIZE YOURSELF
in every photograph
If you’re worried about looking overdone, or about a morning that runs late with a big party to get ready, those are the two things we plan for most carefully. Your look is settled with you at your preview months ahead, and on the day we arrive with enough hands for everyone, so the morning is yours to enjoy.
We take a limited number of weddings each season. Peak-season Saturdays often book more than a year ahead.
01 / Choosing your teamTHE PEOPLE YOU’LL SPEND
your wedding morning with
Of everyone you book, your hair and makeup team spends the most time with you on the day, usually from the first coffee until you step into your dress. So it’s worth choosing wisely. You want a look that still feels like you in photographs that you’ll keep forever, supported by people whose company makes your morning easier. And you best believe we are the experts at making sure your look lasts in the Colorado wind, and your dance floor shenanigans!

02 / Your wedding morningTHE MORNING SHOULD FEEL LIKE the start of the celebration
We arrive with plenty of time to set up your private beauty space, with our own lighting and chairs, wherever you’re getting ready. Your bridal party goes first, each to a schedule built around the time you need to be ready. By the time you sit in the chair everyone’s feeling relaxed and nobody’s watching the clock. When we’re finished, we stay for final touch-ups before we pack out, and you walk into your ceremony looking as good as you feel.
03 / The Freiya brideYOUR LOOK STARTS
months before the wedding
With a studio behind the bridal team, preparing you begins long before the morning itself.
about six months outSkin and scalp consultation
Every booked bride is invited to the studio for a complimentary skin consultation, AI scalp analysis or both, depending on her services. It leaves time to plan facials or scalp care, so your skin and hair are at their best by your preview.
Two to three months outYour preview
A relaxed appointment at the studio, Tuesday to Thursday, where we create your look together and refine it until it feels completely like you.
whenever you need themRental extensions
Hair extensions kept exclusively for our brides and color-matched at the studio, for the fullness and length that Hollywood waves and fuller updos ask for.
six weeks outYour timeline
Once your ready time and party are confirmed, we build a personalized beauty timeline and a wedding morning guide, so everyone knows exactly when to sit down.

09 / questionsBEFORE
you inquire
-
We recommend inquiring 9 to 12 months before your wedding. Peak-season Saturdays and destination weddings often book more than a year ahead, so the earlier you reach out, the more likely your date will still be open.
-
Your lead artist is listed in your proposal. Wendy and our licensed Freiya artists are matched to each wedding by your services, your look, your location and availability. Larger bridal parties will often have additional artists so the morning runs on time.
-
If you're the only one getting ready with us, the minimum is bridal hair and makeup. Peak-season Saturdays have a minimum of 10 services. Minimums can also vary with the date, the location and the number of artists your morning needs. Get in touch with us and we’ll see if we can help!
-
We suggest two to three months before your wedding, once your dress, accessories and hair color are finalized. Previews are held at our Westminster studio, Tuesday to Thursday, and booked separately at the rates above. Each preview creates one complete look, and you can add a second hairstyle if you book it in advance (however this isn't available with a Hollywood waves preview).
-
We reserve about three hours for your hair and makeup and about 45 minutes for each bridal party service. Hollywood waves can take a little longer, but we will make sure your timeline allows for it.
-
Yes. We travel throughout Colorado and Wyoming and for destination weddings. A travel fee will apply, based on your location and the number of artists you’ll need on the day. Remote locations or very early starts may also need overnight accommodation.
-
Early-start fees apply per artist when services begin before 7 AM. We prefer not to begin before 5 AM, so for an especially early ceremony we may suggest adding an artist, which lets everyone start a little later. You need your beauty sleep after all!
-
Your ready time shapes the whole morning, from how many artists we bring to when we arrive, so please make sure it's accurate when you book. If it needs to change, let us know as early as you can. Any change depends on our approval and artist availability, and may mean an additional artist or early-start or travel fees.
-
Services can be added whenever artist availability allows. Because your date, timeline and artists are reserved around your numbers, services can't be removed close to the wedding, so we suggest booking the people you're sure of.
-
We don't. Our complexion techniques give a lightweight, skin-like finish with the coverage and staying power a full wedding day needs.
-
Absolutely. Tell us about any allergies, sensitivities or skin conditions before your preview and wedding day, and we'll choose products and techniques to suit you.
-
Your signed Wedding Service Agreement and a 50% retainer make your booking official. Your final balance, including a standard 20% gratuity, is due 14 days before your wedding.
