All our hair stylists and makeup artists are trained in their field and have been hand picked by Tallora.
You can either pay a $100 tentative deposit when you book in a trial. This $100 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 now have credit card fascilities and PayPal.
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.
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. 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.
You have 2 options; We do recommend that you bring a touch up lippy and possibly face powder compact for touch ups during the event. If you already have products that you like, bring them along. OR at your trial, you can order any products that you like, so you have the exact same colors. Lip products range from $20-$30, Foundations from $30-$60 and Powders from $30-$60.
Any time you are ready really. Although, the sooner you can lock in your artist, the more peace of mind you have. 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 25.1.25, or 25.5.25, 6.2.26, especially if they fall on a Friday or Saturday, often get booked out very early.
If you have a face and hair, then yes we do.
No, we are happy to do one person, or multiple. No job is too small. Although, we do offer discounts for groups of 3 or more.
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.
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.
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!
