All our hair stylists and makeup artists are trained in their field and have been hand picked by Tallora.
We are experienced in understanding all things hair and makeup. Including, but not limited to; Facial analysis, Colour theory, Industry standard Hygiene procedures, and we understand that every person is different, so we will take the time to ask you what YOU like. We are trained in all styles of makeup. From Natural, to colourful, to full dramatic glam and A LOT MORE!! We got you covered.
The products we use are professional grade, high pigment, panchromatic products; Meaning stronger durability, versatility and camera-friendly. We are also fully trained in the best industry techniques to ensure the longest lasting application methods too.
No flashback-ruined photos here!!
This is where the power of having a team is a benefit. Life happens, so if your artist is unable to fulfill their requirement, we will do everything possible to make sure you have a replacement artist.
We come prepared with everything we need to make you look amazing, including professional grade, photo-friendly, long-lasting, cruelty free products. All you need to do is have a clean and moisturized face for makeup application, and wash your hair the day before, so it is clean and dry and with no product for hair styling. If your hair gets really oily looking, really fast, wash your hair first thing that morning and dry very thoroughly. If your hair is ultra curly/frizzy/ringlets, you may want to straighten it before hand, but consult your stylist first.
In regards to using your own products, this depends if your makeup is pan-chromatic and suitable for photography. Most commercial lines are not suitable and you run the risk of looking pasty, patchy or flat in your photos and we want you to look amazing. If you are worried your skin may react to our products, best to book in a trial, or a “foundation test”. The foundation test is complimentary and we patch test products to ensure you don’t react on your special day.
If this is not an option, and you are concerned about reacting to our products, yes, we can use yours, if that is your choice. However, we cannot guarantee avoidance of flashback in photos.
Of Course we can, this is not our first rodeo.
We add in extra time to our session, to ensure we have all things covered. Including; Dressing time, clean up time, photo time, and the all important Just-In-Case time… No bride runs late for their ceremony on our clock!
Another benefit of having a team, we can handle large groups and tight timelines. If you have a lot of people and an early finish time requirement, we can have a few artists on board. We have done our share of super early starts too
You have 4 options; For the event, we do recommend that you have a touch up lippy and possibly face powder compact (if you have oily skin) for touch ups during the event.
Option #1; If you already have products that you like, bring them along. OR …
Option #2; At your trial, you can order any products that you like from us, so you have the exact same colours. Lip products range from $25-$30, Foundations from $40-$70 and Powders from $40-$70. OR…
Option #4; You hire us to come back for a touch up package, where we meet you at your location to make any small adjustments and fixes to all hair and makeup previously styled earlier that day. OR…
Option #5; We have 3 sizes of Wedding Emergency kits available for purchase, which all include a lipstick plus more. Email us for more details, or check out our Facebook page.
A trial is great for a few reasons.. You get to design your ideal hair and makeup style and see if you even like it on you.
To see if you and your artist work well together and they can achieve your style.
To test out the products and ensure they work well on your skin.
To talk details and answer any questions either you or your artist may have.
And to be able to confidently confirm your date, knowing you have the right artist.
Trials with us are not compulsory, we leave that choice up to you and your budget. But they are highly recommended.
When to book your trial?? We recommend the sooner, the better. Confirming your event after your trial gives you confidence in knowing you have the right artist to lock in, giving you peace of mind. And, if you don’t like the trial, you have plenty of time to organise another option. Wedding season is Sept thru Nov and Jan thru April, and Saturday is by far the most popular day of the week. These times can get very busy, so if your wedding is in any one of these months, book early so you don’t miss out. Also, dates with numerical significance, such as 22.2.22, or 26.2.26, or 27.7.27, especially if they fall on a Friday or Saturday, often get booked out very early.
You can either pay a $120 tentative deposit when you book in a trial. This $120 is redeemable on your trial and holds your date until your trial, then if you are happy with the trial and want to secure the date, we will arrange your 40% deposit. Alternatively you can pay your 40% deposit up front if you don’t want a trial.
We offer direct transfer, or cash options. We also have credit card facilities and PayPal.
Absolutely YES!! We are going to sound biased here, and maybe we are…However, we have seen what happens when people have made less than great hair and makeup choices (wedding photo re-shoots are expensive and heart breaking to fix. We know, we’ve been booked for them too many times!) and we know what our clients say about us.
Most of our clients are looking for the same thing… Reliable, stress-free, long-wearing, photo-friendly hair and makeup styling that is comfortable and makes them feel great.
At Mobile Make-Overs Australia, not only do you get all that, but you also look and feel great, you get problem solving, experienced artists who can handle anything. You get Crueltly-free styling. You get a stress-free mobile/ in-home service, so you can chill. You get friendly fun hair and makeup artists who love what they do and if needed you get a team for large groups and time management.
Not only that, our price point is set to “Fair”. Meaning fair for you and fair for the artists. We are not crazy expensive, so fair is the fairest way we could price ourselves. Looking and feeling great and all that other stuff for a Fair Price and not to have to worry about re-shooting your wedding or event….? Absolutely YES worth it!!!
We understand life happens and things may change, so we try to be as flexible as possible. If you need to change the date, we just transfer all your details and payments to the new date. If your stylists are not available on the new date, we will work to arrange new stylists for you if available. Your first date transfer is complimentary, and the new date must be within a 12month period of the original event date. A transfer fee of 10% of event total is applicable to any further transfers, or dates outside of 12months from original date.
If you need to cancel, we have refund policies in place. Trial booking fees/deposits are non-refundable. Event date booking fee/deposit is 40% of the event total and will confirm your booking. This fee is non-refundable. Your event balance is due 2 weeks prior to your event date, and once paid is non-refundable.
We can work with extensions and apply the temporary clip ins, although we do not supply them and we do not supply or apply the permanent hair extensions. Best to organize those with your hairdresser first.
Have a shower the night before your tan, exfoliate and moisturize. Then the morning of your tan, have another shower, but do NOT moisturize or use deodorant. Wear loose-ish clothing. After your tan, wait the adequate amount of time before showering again, then moisturize. Perfect tan. If you have never tanned before, best to book in a test run a couple of months before, so the tan has plenty of time to fade off before your event.
If you try a new facial with new products, do a trial a minimum of 2 months before, just in case you react, or if it is a deep cleansing facial, then you have time for your skin to recover.
Nowhere that we are aware of so far. We are based in Adelaide, but have travelled as far as Victor Harbour, to Coober Pedy, to Sydney, to Brisbane, to Vancouver and LA. Travel and accommodation fees apply.
Of course you can. We don’t mind at all.
If you have a face and hair, then yes we do.
Be honest. We really don’t mind if you have changed your mind, or would like us to change something. We truly want you to Love your style and You know You far better than we do. So giving us your feedback and allowing us to make the changes needed, helps us ensure you get exactly what you want.
We have had many clients change their minds from their trial, and that is totally fine with us too. But, the deal is… you have to be honest.
NO! We love animals and try to ensure to the best of our ability to never use any hair and makeup products that test on animals or use animal by-products. No emu oil here! We have even written a blog about it!
That can depends on you, your photographer and how long it takes you to get to your ceremony/event location. We can start your hair and makeup as early as you need us to. As a guide, we suggest a finish time of around 2hrs before your ceremony/event start time. This should allow for just-in-case time, dressing time, eating time, photo-time, or whatever things you need some time for.
Not quite. A LITTLE bit of natural oil in the hair can help with holding a style, HOWEVER too much natural oil/dirt can do the complete opposite.
Ultimately it is best to have Clean and Dry hair ready for your hair stylist. We can “dirty up” your hair with products, but if your hair is too oily/dirty, it goes stringy looking and there is no amount of dry shampoo that will help. We cannot clean dirty hair. Best to have clean and let us do the rest. And who wants dirty hair at a special occasion anyway!
