Getting ready in Folsom
Say where in Folsom the party is starting. A house in town and a room nearer Folsom Lake are not the same drive from Placer County. Travel within 30 miles of the Rocklin studio is included. Past 30 miles, the fee is $2 per mile, round trip, from Rocklin to the event location. She confirms it from the address before the retainer.
Put Folsom in the location field, and the getting-ready address plus the be-ready time in the notes. Travel follows the place she is working, even if the ceremony is elsewhere.
The bride's hair is about an hour and her makeup about an hour and a half. Bridesmaids and mothers are about 45 minutes for hair and an hour for makeup. A flower girl 8 or under is about 20 minutes each. Keep a 30 to 60 minute buffer before the be-ready time.
A Folsom wedding needs at least four services. A $150 assistant fee may apply for a large party. Prom and quinceañera dates here are $150 for hair and $150 for makeup per person, without the wedding minimum.
What is included
The Folsom bridal menu matches the prices on her services page. Book hair only, makeup only, or both. The retainer is separate from these amounts.
| 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
The trial is not at the Folsom getting-ready location. It is at the home studio in Rocklin, with no travel fee. Hair is $115, makeup is $115, and both together are $220. Brides are encouraged to schedule one so wedding morning is a plan you have already seen. Event clients can book that same studio visit.
How booking works
Send the date as soon as you know it. There is no fixed number of months that fits every wedding, and Alaena will tell you whether she is open. The date is not reserved until the retainer and the contract are both in place.
- 1
Inquire with the wedding date, Folsom as the city, the headcount, and whether each person wants hair, makeup, or both.
- 2
Add the getting-ready address and be-ready time in the notes so the round-trip mileage can be confirmed from Rocklin.
- 3
Hold the date with a $100 retainer and a signed contract. The retainer does not apply toward the balance.
- 4
Expect the contract request at least 30 days before the wedding.
Payment accepted: cash, Venmo, Cash App, Apple Pay, and check.

Questions
Will you come to a Folsom getting-ready location near the lake?
Yes, if that is where the party is getting ready. Alaena travels to the Folsom event location. She does not need the ceremony to be in the same spot. Name the getting-ready address so travel is quoted to the place she is working.
How is the Folsom travel fee decided?
Travel within 30 miles of the Rocklin studio is included. Beyond 30 miles it is $2 per mile, round trip, from Rocklin to the event location. The city name is not the quote. She confirms the amount from your address before the date is held.
When is a Folsom wedding actually booked?
After she confirms the date is open, a $100 retainer and a signed contract hold it. Wedding bookings need at least four services. The retainer does not go toward the service total, and the contract is requested at least 30 days before the wedding.
