All questions
Clear where possible. Personal where it matters.
Where does Karissa travel?
Karissa is based in Grass Valley and provides mobile, on-location service. When she travels to you, mileage is $1.75 per mile, round trip, plus the applicable on-location start fee. Auburn salon appointments are also available by request.
Is hair available?
Yes. Makeup is Karissa’s primary specialty, and hair is available upon request. Include potential hair headcounts in your inquiry so she can review the full scope.
Can Karissa work with a bridal party?
Bridal-party inquiries are welcome. Share the number of people needing makeup, anyone considering hair, your location, and ready-by time. Karissa reviews the details before confirming what is possible.
What makeup style does Karissa specialize in?
Karissa specializes in soft, natural, flattering makeup. The finished look is shaped around your preferences, event, and comfort level.
How do I check a date?
Use the Check My Date form with your event date, location, service needs, and contact details. Karissa will review the request and follow up personally.
Does the form confirm my booking?
No. It sends a date request. Your date is not confirmed, held, or booked until Karissa has personally reviewed the details and completed the necessary follow-up with you.
Does Karissa offer trials?
Yes. Wedding trials are optional. Bridal makeup trials start at $200, and bridal hair and makeup trials start at $450. Request one with your wedding inquiry so Karissa can coordinate it.
How is wedding pricing determined?
On-location wedding beauty starts at a $500 minimum, while Auburn salon services start at $210. Karissa sends a clear proposal based on the location, party size, requested services, and travel.
What details should I have ready?
The most useful details are your date, event type, exact location or venue, number of people needing makeup, potential hair needs, desired ready-by time, and any questions or preferences.
How far ahead should I inquire?
Inquire as soon as you have a date and enough information to describe the event. The site does not promise a booking window or response time; Karissa confirms availability personally.
Have a date in mind?
Let’s begin with the details.
A date request is quick, and it never confirms a booking. Karissa reviews every inquiry personally.
