❤︎ what you need to know ❤︎

Shy is a licensed esthetician with over 10 years of makeup experience. Known for her passion for beauty and eye for detail, she creates flawless, personalized looks that enhance each client’s natural features. Please note that she provides makeup services ONLY.  Shy is a solo artist and does not work with a team. However, if you're in need of a hairstylist for your wedding day, she’s happy to provide recommendations and help you find someone who fits your needs.


To Secure Your Date: 

  • 50% non-refundable deposit of the total cost, and a signed service agreement is required. The remaining balance is due the week of the wedding. Dates are not held without both and are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis.  To ensure each client receives my full attention and the highest level of service, I only accept one bridal booking per day on weekends (Friday, Saturday and Sunday).


Booking Incentive:

  • Bridal bookings that include the bride will receive 20% off any spa service (excluding additional bridal previews) leading up to the wedding as a thank-you for securing your date. 


Booking Requirements:

  •  A minimum of 4 people is required to book bridal makeup services, unless discussed otherwise. A maximum of 8 individuals total may be accommodated, including the bride, bridal party, and any flower girls. This ensures ample time and quality for everyone receiving services on your special day. 


  • Second artist fee of $150 applies when an additional artist is required due to time constraints, early start times, or parties exceeding 8 people. This ensures we stay on schedule and provide a smooth, stress-free experience for you and your bridal party. This fee is separate from the per-person makeup rates.  


Sales Tax: 

  • The Ohio Revised Code Section 5739.01(B)(3)(q) defines “personal care service” as a transaction that includes the application of cosmetics. This means that sales tax must be charged when providing makeup artist services for Columbus weddings.


Gratuity: 

  • Gratuity is not included in the listed pricing. The industry standard for wedding makeup gratuity is 15–20%. 


Travel Time: 

  • Travel within 25 miles of Dublin, OH is included.
  • Travel between 26–50 miles is subject to a $25 travel fee.
  • For travel exceeding 51 miles, a travel time fee of $100 per hour will apply.
  • Travel time is calculated round trip—to and from the venue—for any location beyond 26 miles. This fee reflects the time the artist is unavailable for other bookings and is billed in addition to standard service pricing.
  • All extended travel will require, at minimum, one nights stay near the venue. This is an additional fee, travel time does not include coverage for accommodations.



Discount offered for military, first responders, and nurses at bridal booking. Valid ID required. Thank you for your service!
