Bridal Services Frequently Asked Questions

 HOW DO I BOOK DETOUR SALON & STYLE FOR MY WEDDING?

To secure your date, a retainer must be submitted. Retainers are 50% of the bridal package and are applied fully to the bridal package total. Retainers are non-refundable & non-transferable. Weddings & stylists are booked first come, first serve, based on when a retainer is paid. Due to our high demand, we are unable to inform brides if another bride has inquired about their date after their initial inquiry. Submitting an inquiry does not in any way secure your date. Most of our brides are securing their wedding date 12-18 months in advance.  

 CAN I BOOK HAIR OR MAKEUP ONLY?

Yes! For a hair or makeup-only wedding, we have a six-service minimum. 

 CAN I BOOK THE MINIMUM & HIRE ANOTHER ARTIST TO DO THE REST OF MY BRIDAL PARTY?

Due to our exclusivity clause, we do not work with other hair or makeup artists and reserve the right to be the sole hair and/or makeup provider for each wedding. In the event that another hairstylist or makeup artist is secured, a $100 forced collaboration fee will be added to the final total. As a team, we collaborate to create the best overall wedding and bridal showcase for your pictures and experience. 

DO YOU COME ON LOCATION? IS THERE A TRAVEL FEE?

On your wedding day, we can always come to you!  Our base travel fee is .60 per mile. Your travel fee total is based on the salon location to and from. Parking and valet fees are charged to the bride on the wedding day if validation is not available. If travel time is deemed to be extensive, a hotel stay is required. 

WHEN CAN I SCHEDULE A PREVIEW APPOINTMENT? CAN MY BRIDAL PARTY HAVE A PREVIEW?

We suggest booking your preview appointment 2-4 weeks prior to your ceremony. We finalize the timings & number of services on this date, so you will need this information at the end of your appointment. You do not need this information. However, when securing your date, keep our service minimums in mind. Due to our stylist's busy weekend schedule, preview appointment schedules and location options can vary from artist to artist. Requests for on-location preview appointments are subject to availability and will incur an additional fee for travel.

WILL WE DO MORE THAN ONE STYLE OR LOOK AT MY PREVIEW APPOINTMENT?

Your stylist will do a thorough verbal consultation at the beginning of your preview to help determine which style is going to be best based on many different factors. Many brides have an idea of what they want, but for those who are not sure, we recommend looking through our extensive portfolio for ideas before the preview to see what type of looks appeal to them. You’ll usually find yourself leaning towards a particular look over & over again. Bring these photos to your appointment & we’ll be able to help you find the perfect wedding day look for you.

WHAT IF I AM NOT HAPPY AFTER MY PREVIEW?

The most critical part of a preview is open, honest communication. Subtle changes can make all the difference, making you look & feel like the bride you’ve always dreamed of! So please speak up at your preview because we’re here to help! In the rare case that you’re still unhappy, you are not obligated to use our services. If a contract is not signed at the end of your preview, your date is immediately released for other bookings. If you later decide that you would like to use our services & you feel the need for a second preview, they are available at the normal rate. 

DO YOU OFFER AIRBRUSH APPLICATION? 

Detour Salon & Style is a highly qualified team of reputable & experienced artists and stylists. We offer both classic makeup applications as well as airbrushing. Not sure which is right for you? We can help you decide! We are proud to use a wide range of professional-grade products that have incredible staying power. We use products that are waterproof, smudge-proof, and HD photo/video friendly. (Some of the professional products we carry include Face Atelier, Makeup Forever, Sian Richards, RCMA, By Terry, Viseart, Sonia Roselli, Kevyn Aucoin, and Ben Nye.) Our selection of professional products will be able to compliment any bridal style. Not only will you look flawless in your photos, but you'll be the picture of perfection in front of your guests. There is no additional fee for airbrush application, as we want to choose the best option for each client. 

I NEVER WEAR MAKEUP, SO I'M NERVOUS! AM I STILL GOING TO LOOK LIKE ME?

We always take into consideration each bride's personal style when selecting a wedding day look. This is going to mean something different for every bride, & it is our job as your stylist to find that perfect wedding day look for you

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO DO EVERYONE?

Our wedding day system is a well-oiled machine. We typically schedule 45 minutes per bridal party member and 1 hour and 15 minutes for the bride. For parties with seven or more services, or if there are time constraints, an additional artist will be reserved. There is an Early Call Time fee of $50/hour added per stylist for any start time prior to 8 AM. 

DO YOU HAVE ANY SERVICE MINIMUMS?

We have a six-service minimum for all weddings. This minimum is per service, not per person (i.e., a bridesmaid receiving makeup + hair would be two services). For hair or makeup-only weddings, we have a six-service minimum.
