Frequently Asked Questions
Where will my event makeup be held?
I operate out of Sable Salon & Spa in Sutherland on Saturdays where my books are open 8 weeks in advance to account for my bride’s wedding days.
Monday - Friday (& occasional Sundays subject to availability) my appointments are held from my home studio in Miranda. If you cannot see your preferred time and date on my booking page, please contact me via info@ellnicolemua.com.
Do you offer travel to me?
Majority of my event/bridal trial bookings are done at Sable Salon & Spa or at my home studio in Miranda. If you require me to travel to you, that will incur an additional travel fee & is subject to availability.
For your wedding day I will travel to wherever you are getting ready! However, travel that is more than 2 hours from my home may require accommodation the night prior & will be communicated upon booking.
If travelling to me, do I need to provide anything?
All I require is a clean area to work. I will bring my own lighting, chair and professional kit.
Do you offer group bookings?
I do offer group bookings depending on how many people, the location and the time.
