Why the address comes before the retainer
Settle the travel line before anyone holds the date. Travel within 30 miles of the studio is included. If the getting-ready location is past 30 miles, the fee is $2 per mile, round trip, from Rocklin. She confirms the amount when you inquire. The retainer comes after that number is clear.
Write El Dorado Hills in the location field, and put the getting-ready address plus the be-ready time in the notes. The city alone does not finish the quote.
After that, it is a standard on-location bridal morning: about an hour for bridal hair, about an hour and a half for bridal makeup, and less time for each bridesmaid, mother, or flower girl. Keep a 30 to 60 minute buffer. A $150 assistant fee may apply for a large party.
The wedding minimum is four services. A prom or quinceañera in El Dorado Hills is $150 for hair and $150 for makeup per person, and that minimum does not carry over.
What is included
Service prices do not change because the wedding is in El Dorado County. What changes is the travel line, which is confirmed from the address. The menu itself is the published bridal list.
| Service | Hair | Makeup | Both |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bride | $250 | $250 | $500 |
| Bridesmaid / mother of the bride or groom | $175 | $175 | $350 |
| Flower girl (8 & under) | $100 | $100 | $200 |
The trial at the Rocklin studio
Come to Rocklin for the trial before the wedding. It is at the home studio only, with no travel fee. Hair is $115, makeup is $115, and both together are $220. A trial is encouraged so the El Dorado Hills morning is spent on a look you already approved. Prom and quinceañera clients can book the same studio visit.
How booking works
Ask early enough that she can answer about the specific date, and do not treat a rough season as a hold. If she is open, the next step is the retainer and the contract, with travel already stated.
- 1
Send the inquiry with the wedding date, El Dorado Hills as the city, the number of people, and hair, makeup, or both.
- 2
Put the getting-ready address and be-ready time in the notes so she can confirm whether the 30-mile included radius covers it.
- 3
Review that travel amount before you pay. A $100 retainer and a signed contract are what hold the date, and the retainer does not apply toward services.
- 4
The contract is requested at least 30 days before the wedding.
Payment accepted: cash, Venmo, Cash App, Apple Pay, and check.

Questions
Is El Dorado Hills inside the included 30 miles from Rocklin?
It depends on the getting-ready address, not on the city name. Travel within 30 miles of the Rocklin studio is included. Past that, travel is $2 per mile, round trip, from Rocklin. Alaena confirms the figure before the date is held.
Where do we do the hair and makeup trial?
At her home studio in Rocklin. The trial does not come to El Dorado Hills, and there is no travel fee. Brides are encouraged to book one.
What has to be in place before an El Dorado Hills date is reserved?
An open date on her calendar, a wedding party of at least four services, a $100 retainer, and a signed contract. The retainer does not apply toward the total. The contract is requested at least 30 days before the event.
