Deposit: 300
Secure your wedding date with a deposit. Price includes the trials, or any unused portion deducted from the wedding-day balance if not trialing looks.

Makeup + hair trial combo: *simple 225, *technical 300
Bring your individual service costs down by booking both hair and makeup.
*Simple implies curling hair, straightening or simplified updos or half updos requiring little to no curling. Simple makeup includes soft glam, natural, elevated clean beauty. May include lashes if other parts of the face are not done i.e. DIY lips or DIY foundation.
*Technical applies to most all other updos, half updos, braiding, clip-in extensions or anything else exceeding 30 minutes. Technical makeup includes high-glam looks, or more time spent on details like precision winged eyeliner, airbrushing foundation, and or false lashes. Email/text inspiration images if unsure which category. These additional details are important in creating an accurate timeline for the wedding services as well.
Bride flat rate makeup-only : *225
Bride flat rate hair-only : *225
*You will receive these rates when booking 1 service for yourself plus services for others, who may include bridal party, family members or special guests who can access the getting-ready location (artists cannot move from room to room.) Bride-only weddings must see bride-only package below. Brie does not reserve wedding dates for only 1 service unless proper compensation is negotiated (a trusted member of the Coast Artistry team can be booked in her stead for this rate.)
Bride makeup + hair combo : 375
You will receive this rate when booking services for yourself plus services for others, who may include bridal party, family members or special guests who can access the getting-ready location (artists cannot move from room to room.) Bride-only weddings must see bride-only package below.
Bridesmaid/family makeup : simple 125 / technical 150
Bridesmaid/family hair : simple 95 / technical 125
Eyes-only / face-only : 75
Only available for weddings with 4+ services.
Blow-out : 75
Services quoted above must start with dry hair, unless a blow-out has been booked. A blow-out included in a simple or technical hairstyle must be negotiated at an additional cost with the extra time added to the timeline.
bride+party packages
Save on technical makeup applications with a wedding package for your party. Packages are thoughtfully curated based on how many services an artist can do within a feasible amount of wedding-day getting-ready time (roughly 5 hours max.)
NOTE : packages are designed to offer proper compensation to highly talented and trained artists. Rates any lower would not afford the experience and reliability we strive for here at Coast Artistry.
Junior maids and children requiring only light hair / makeup count as 1/2. 1 blowout = 1/2 service. 1 makeup application = 1 service. 1 hairstyle = 1 service.
BRIDE-ONLY Hair + Makeup wedding-day : 425
Reserving a date for 1 person requires this minimum charge, see rates above for a discounted rate if you add more services to the wedding date. (Does not have to be a wedding party member, can be any guest who has access to the getting-ready location.) Bride-only weddings during wedding season must have flexible timing due to more than 1 wedding booked on the same date, since this rate does not cover the artists entire day. You may negotiate an entire day rate with Brie if you want her on your wedding date and cannot be flexible on timing.
ESSENTIALS PACKAGE : 1250
2 artists will provide 10 services to any party members including the bride. This includes the works, e.g. false lashes, elaborate or complicated hairstyling/hair extension placement, braiding, etc. A 5 hour timeline is to be expected.
ULTIMATE BRIDAL PACKAGE : 2500
Hair and makeup for the bride, wedding party, mothers, grandmothers, aunts etc. 20 service max & no time constraints.
extra services
Touchups : 125/hr
Touchup rate begins when the getting ready timeline ends.
Early morning fee : 100/per hour before 8am
Early morning fees are a financial alternative to hiring extra artists to complete a large number of people in a relatively short period of time.
Location change : 75/each
Travel fee for locations over 20 mi from Laguna Beach : $ 0.56/ per mi (standard industry rate)
Destination weddings : 6 service minimum, or a flat rate will be negotiated
As long as flights, car rental or services and lodging is covered, travel fees are not charged.

fine print
All payment methods are accepted, subject to processing fees. To avoid fees, use cash, checks, zelle and venmo. Be mindful of daily payment transfer limits. All payments are to be made prior to the date of services. Deposits are due early in the process before hours of correspondence can be accumulated. The earlier the deposit and a confirmed headcount is provided. the greater the chance of the top quality assisting artists being available for your wedding.
The full wedding day balance is due 2 weeks prior to the wedding to allow processing time so the funds are available to cash and tip assisting artists on the day-of. Our goal is to have all the business sorted out and loose ends tied up, for a stress-free wedding day. Wedding balances are to be made in a one-lump sum only, individual payments from members of the party will not be accepted. Decades of wedding experience has proved this works best for all involved and we appreciate your understanding.
