How Long Should I Expect my Bridal and Bridesmaid Beauty Appointments Be?
As any Bride to be knows, scheduling and planning are integral to making sure your big day goes off without a hitch. Knowing what to expect - both content and time wise - enables you to plan accordingly. Here at Sweet Face, we understand these needs. That’s why we operate as transparently as possible, providing you with the details you need to make sure you know exactly what you’re getting and how long you can expect it to take.
So, How Long?
Our appointment length is typically 90-120 minutes, 60-90 minutes of which is allotted to actual makeup application process. The additional 30 minutes that you can expect is due to sanitation processes, bride responsibility delays, and portfolio building.
Sanitation Process:
Sweet Face prides itself in not only providing excellent service, but its professionalism as well. This includes making sure all tools, processes, and equipment are kept organized and sanitary. Listed below are some of these process that add to the appointment length.
· Disposing of Nitrile gloves.
· Washing hands.

o Lash curlers
o Tweezers
o Spatula & tray
· Preparing touch up kit with powder puff and lip color.
· Cleaning make up brushes.

Bride Responsibility Delays:
We understand that the beauty process is a very important part of your wedding, but we also understand that it is not the only part of your wedding. This can often lead to an overlap in the bride’s responsibilities. Such instances listed below are possible delays we have experienced and account for.
· Managing other vendors.
· Directing various people.
· Communicating with planners.
· Having to get up from the chair to carry out tasks.
o Handing out decorations.

o Greeting and/or directing people.
Portfolio Building:
While the bride is the obvious priority, there are other responsibilities we have here at Sweet Face. One of those responsibilities is the cultivation and expansion of our brand. The key way we do this by taking before and after photos to show off our services. The process of taking these photos is not time consuming in the very least, only taking, at most, 5-10 minutes. But as we have said, we pride ourselves on being transparent and want to provide you with every detail that could have any impact on the best day of your life.
