frequently asked questions

01. HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD I BOOK?

Most of our couples reserve their wedding date 9-18 months in advance, with peak Saturdays booking earliest. Once you have your wedding date secured, we recommend reaching out as soon as possible. We accept bookings on a first-come first-served basis, and your date is only reserved once a contract and retainer have been received. 

02. WHAT IS REQUIRED TO RESERVE MY WEDDING DATE?

To officially reserve your wedding date, we require a signed contract and a non-refundable, non-transferable retainer.  Your retainer is applied towards your Collection investment and allows us to reserve your artist(s) exclusively for your wedding day. Because we accept a limited number of weddings each date, we are unable to hold dates without both items being completed. 

03. WHERE DO YOU TRAVEL?

We provide on-location services throughout the greater Seattle area and typically travel within 50 miles of our Edmonds salon during peak Saturdays. If you are planning a destination wedding or a celebration outside our standard service area we'd love to hear more!

04. DO YOU HAVE A TRAVEL FEE?

Travel within 50 miles of our Edmonds salon is included with your Collection. For locations beyond 50 miles, a custom travel fee will be included in your custom proposal.

05. IS THERE A MINIMUM INVESTMENT?

Yes. To provide the elevated, seamless experience we're known for, we reserve dedicated artist exclusively for your wedding morning. 

Our minimum investment varies by wedding date and season. Minimum investments typically range from $1,500-$2, 250, depending on the day of the week, season, and artist availability. 

06. WHAT IS INCLUDED IN YOUR WEDDING COLLECTIONS?

Every Collection is thoughtfully designed to create a relaxed seamless wedding morning.  Depending on the Collection you select, your experience may include:

  • Bridal Preview Appointment
  • Wedding day hair or makeup for you and your bridal party
  • Access to our luxury hair extensions
  • Personalized beauty timeline
  • On-location services
  • Dedicated planning and communication leading up to your wedding. 

07. WHAT INFORMATION MUST I HAVE TO SECURE MY DATE?

To reserve your date, you'll need:
  • A confirmed wedding date
  • Your getting ready location or estimated location
  • Your desired Collection
  • A signed agreement and retainer

Do not worry if your final headcount isn't confirmed yet. Your service location and services can be updated after booking, provided your Collection still meets the required minimum investment. 

08. CAN I UPGRADE MY COLLECTION AFTER BOOKING?

Absolutely! As your wedding plans come together, you're welcome to upgrade your Collection and add additional artists, provided we have availability. We recommend making changes as early as possible, as artists are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. 

09. WHAT MAKES AM BEAUTY DIFFERENT?

We believe beautiful hair and makeup is only part of the experience. Our goal is to create a wedding morning that feels calm, organized, and genuinely enjoyable. From personalized timelines and thoughtful communication to experienced artists who arrive prepared and on time, every detail is designed to help you relax and be fully present on one of the most meaningful days of your life. 

10. CAN I SCHEDULE A BRIDAL PREVIEW (TRIAL) BEFORE BOOKING?

Unfortunately, no. Due to the high amount of inquires we receive, we are unable to hold dates and are booked on a first-come, first-served nature. We encourage you to look through our raving reviews and extensive portfolio to see if your vision aligns with ours. We specialize in radiant, elevated looks that enhance your natural beauty and modern and classic hairstyles.

11. IS A BRIDAL PREVIEW REQUIRED?

Yes. Every bride receives a bridal preview as part of her Collection. Your preview is an important part of the experience, allowing you to collaborate with your artist, refine your vision, and ensure every detail feels perfect before your wedding day.

12. WHERE WILL MY BRIDAL PREVIEW TAKE PLACE?

Bridal previews are held at our salon in Edmonds, located inside Wilder & Co. Salon. Your artist will provide everything needed for your appointment - simply arrive with a clean face & hair and inspiration photos that reflect your vision. 

13. CAN MEMBERS OF MY BRIDAL PARTY SCHEDULE A PREVIEW?

Absolutely! Preview appointments are available for mothers, bridesmaids, or anyone receiving wedding day services after your wedding date has been reserved. The bride's preview is included in your Collection; however, all bridal party previews are optional and available for an additional investment, based on artist availability. 

14. WILL I HAVE THE SAME ARTIST(S) FOR MY BRIDAL PREVIEW AND WEDDING DAY?

Yes! Your bridal preview is completed by the artist(s) who will be with you on your wedding day. 

In the rare event that unforeseen circumstances require a change, you'll be paired with another experienced artist who has been carefully selected to match your style and ensure a seamless experience. 

15. CAN I REQUEST A SPECIFIC ARTIST?

Absolutely! If you have a preferred artist, let us know when booking and we'll do our best to accommodate your request based on availability. 

16. HOW DO YOU CHOOSE MY ARTIST(S)?

We thoughtfully pair each bride with the artist whose extpertise, style, and strengths best align with your vision. Our goal is to ensure you feel completely confident in the artist by your side on your wedding day. 

17. WHAT IF MY ARTIST BECOMES UNAVAILABLE?

While this is extremely rare, your peace of mind is our top priority. If an artist becomes unavailable due to illness or an unforeseen emergency, we'll assign another AM BEAUTY artist who has been carefully selected to provide the same level of professionalism, artistry and service. 

18. CAN I ADD SERVICES ON MY WEDDING DAY?

To ensure your wedding morning runs smoothly and stays on schedule, we're unable to accommodate same-day service additions. 

Approximately 30 days before your wedding we will finalize your service selections and create a personalized beauty timeline for your artist. 

19. DO YOU OFFER FLOWER GIRL OR JUNIOR BRIDESMAID SERVICES?

Yes! We are happy to provide services for flower girls and junior bridesmaids who are 10 years of age or older. At this time we do not provide services for children under 10. 

20. DO YOU OFFER GROOM OR MENS SERVICES?

At this time we do not offer groom or men's grooming services. Our team specializes exclusively in bridal hair & makeup, allowing us to focus on creating seamless, on-schedule experience for the bride and bridal party throughout the wedding morning. 

21. CAN I RESERVE HAIR NOW AND ADD MAKEUP LATER (OR VICE VERSA)?

Yes! You're welcome to reserve either service independently and add the second service later if availability allows. We recommend reserving both as early as possible to ensure we can accommodate your preferred date. 

22. WHEN WILL I KNOW WHO MY PAIRED ARTIST OR STYLIST IS?

After reserving your wedding date, you'll receive a brief questionnaire so we can learn more about your beauty style, personality, and wedding vision.

Using your responses, we'll thoughtfully pair you with the artist(s) whose expertise and style best align with your desired look. Artist pairings are typically finalized no later than 60-90 days before your wedding, giving you plenty of time to connect before your bridal preview. 

23. DO YOU OFFER OTHER SERVICES?

Yes! In addition to wedding day hair and makeup, we also offer a vareity of services to complete your wedding experience, including:

  • Bridal hair extension rentals
  • Engagement session hair & makeup
  • Bridal shower or bachelorette hair & makeup
  • Rehearsal dinner or welcome party hair & makeup
  • Wedding day concierge (touch up) service 
  • Second-look hair & makeup

We also provide hair & makeup services for special events, maternity sessions, family photos, professional headshots, and more. 

24. CAN I REQUEST A SPECIFIC DATE FOR MY PREVIEW (TRIAL)?

Yes, of course! We try our best to accommodate your preferred preview date whenever possible. Because our artists spend most Saturdays on location with wedding clients during peak season, Fridays and Sundays typically offer the greatest availability for bridal previews. 

25. WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I RESERVE MY DATE?

Once you're officially booked, we'll guide you through every step of the planning process - from scheduling your bridal preview to collecting final details and creating your personalized wedding morning timeline. Our goal is to make the beauty planning process feel effortless from start to finish.
