A bridal makeup and hairstyling preview is not required but strongly recommended because this time allows us to get to know you and your bridal beauty vision so your wedding day look is perfect! We suggest booking up to 90 days in advance of your wedding day and allotting 2-3 hours for the preview appointment. as this will give your stylists ample time to discuss your preferences and make changes necessary without time constraints as we might have on your wedding day.

Many brides choose to schedule their preview appointment on the day of their bridal portraits or a dress fitting, which allows them to see their full wedding day look put together from head to toe.

The preview appointment is a separate cost. We are happy to meet you within 20 miles of the San Antonio area or at our studio located in Bulverde.

If you have an allergy or skin sensitivities, please bring products you know work best for your skin, and we’d be happy to expertly apply them for you.

Airbrush makeup is a liquid foundation placed in a small gun powered by an air compressor, which sprays the foundation on the face in a fine mist. This method of application creates a soft, natural look with light to medium coverage that is lightweight, sweat-proof, water-proof, and transfer-proof. It is a great option for those who typically don't like a full-coverage look or don’t wear makeup that often.

Traditional makeup is a liquid foundation, typically in a full-coverage formula, applied with a brush or beauty sponge that often gives a dewy finish unless a matte finish is used. Traditional makeup is a great option for those who want a more full-coverage, dewy, or glamorous look.

All of the HCBS stylists use premium foundation products, whether airbrush or traditional, to ensure your look stays flawless throughout your event.
