To view my full Rescheduling policy, you can visit my Terms of Service. Please be sure to request your first reschedule prior to 48 hours of your booked session.

Question 7

Can I pay my total in full before the day of the event?

Accepted Answer

For standard appointments, it is not allowed! It is preferred that you make all remaining payments immediately at the conclusion of the session to ensure an equal trade of services for payment. The only time payments can be made in advance is if the client is under a Contract and Invoice for a Bridal or Media Event. The final payment when under a payment plan must be made by the week (7 days) PRIOR to your appointment. All prior payments must be made on a monthly or weekly basis leading up to the final due date.

Question 8

Can you use part of my retainer to pay for the Cancellation Fee?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, no. The cancellation fee is a fee required if the client cancels within 24 hours prior to their appointment time and will be charged to the card on file (75% of remaining balance for all appointments). This is a fee that is agreed upon with agreement to the Terms of Service upon booking. If you choose to not pay this fee, you will be deemed in violation of contract and will not be able to book in the future. Please be aware of these requirements PRIOR to booking your appointment. The retainer must be paid for again If you choose to book again. Our Cancellation Policy can be read in more detail on our Terms of Service page.

Question 9

Could you hold my spot in your booking calendar?

Unfortunately, no. An appointment cannot be secured unless the online booking and retainer has been completed. Bookings go by a first-come-first-serve basis and Karma's Kreations Artistry® is not liable if another client books your same day and time for an appointment.

Question 10

I want to get several faces done. Does Karma's Kreations Artistry® offer package deals?

Accepted Answer

As of now we do not offer any deals for a certain number of faces being done. If a Bridal package or Media event service is requested, a certain number of faces may be covered depending on the package chosen.

Question 11

Each person in my group would like to pay for their session separately--Do you accept split payments?

Accepted Answer

Karma's Kreations Artistry® does NOT accept split payments, half payments, late payments, and does not encourage clients to pay their total in full ahead of time. For groups that wish to have each person pay their own amount, each person is required to give their amount to the person whose name is signed on the consultation form and who made the booking. That person is then required to give the artist the full total of the amount stated at the bottom of the form. This is because Karma's Kreations Artistry® cannot track any other persons in the case they don't pay their amount. Failure to pay the full amount before the artist leaves the location can result in a fee + the remaining balance being charged to the card on file. For all clients who have their name signed on the form, please ensure that you have collected the total amount of payment from all parties involved prior to the day/time of your session.

Question 12

I received another price quote from another makeup artist-- Can you price match it?

Accepted Answer

We cannot price match because the prices from other makeup artists varies based on their skillset, experience, and overall value is worth. Please keep in mind that makeup/beauty application is a luxury service and not a good/tangible product.

Question 13

Every makeup session from booking to the end of the session will be professional, luxurious, relaxing, and fun.

Question 23

If I bring my own products, will I get a discount?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately no. Bringing your own products only ensures that the client is using a product(s) that they are either comfortable with using or based on preference if you have sensitive skin, etc.

Karma's Kreations Artistry is not liable for the effect of the products you bring reacting to your skin and cannot guarantee a flawless application with how your products will mix with ours. If your product does not match you or is expired, the artist will provide alternate options.

Question 24

Do you clean and sanitize your brushes, sponges, and tools prior to a session?

Accepted Answer

Of course! Providing flawless results for makeup requires clean and sanitized tools. Every session Karma's Kreations conducts, you can guarantee a clean, sanitized, and flawless makeup application.

All tools, brushes, and sponges are thoroughly washed using a non-fragrance makeup brush soap cleanser and rinsed. They are then sanitized with 70% Isopropyl Alcohol and are allowed to air dry in a well-ventilated and zero-traffic area on top of clean paper towels. In between appointments/clients, brushes are spot cleaned and sanitized using Cinema Secrets Brush Cleaner (which kills up to 99% of bacteria) and spritzed with 70% isopropyl alcohol to ensure clean and safe tools for every appointment.

Question 25

What should I do before my makeup appointment?

Accepted Answer

Please arrive with a clean, moisturized face and no makeup on the skin. Share any inspo photos, skin concerns, or allergies ahead of time. This helps me create a smooth, polished result. Please avoid heavy exfoliation, new skincare, or harsh treatments right before your session. If you have skin concerns or wear contacts, share that before your appointment.

Accepted Answer

Yes. I use high-end, skin-first products and can work with sensitive skin in most cases. Please note any allergies or sensitivities in your inquiry so I can plan accordingly.

Accepted Answer

On-site touch-ups are included in every Media event as well as our Classic Bride, Luxe Bride and Opulent Bride packages. On-site touch-ups outside of these event types are additional. All makeup applications ensure that makeup will stay fresh and presentable for at least 16-20 hours. Any additional looks being adjusted from the original look will result in an additional fee. The pricing for that will depend on the number of hours required for the artist to stay on site.

Question 28
