The 30-mile line is an address, not a city
Travel within 30 miles of the Rocklin studio is included. Past 30 miles it is $2 per mile, round trip, from Rocklin to the event location. Sacramento covers enough ground that she confirms the fee from the getting-ready address, before the date is held, rather than from the city name. Put Sacramento on the form and the address plus the be-ready time in the notes.
She sets up where you are getting ready. A ceremony in another part of the city does not replace that address. You do not come to the studio on the wedding day.
Bridal hair is about an hour and bridal makeup about an hour and a half. A bridesmaid or mother is 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 Sacramento wedding needs at least four services. A large party may include a $150 assistant fee. Prom and quinceañera bookings are $150 for hair and $150 for makeup per person, without the wedding minimum.
What is included
Sacramento brides pay the same service prices as brides in Placer County. Travel is the line item that depends on the address. The retainer sits outside the menu.
| 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 in Rocklin even when the wedding is in Sacramento. It is a separate trip to the home studio, with no travel fee. Hair is $115, makeup is $115, and both together are $220. Brides are encouraged to book one so the Sacramento morning is not the first time you see the look. Event clients can book the same trial.
How booking works
There is no universal lead time. Send the date and she will say if it is open. For a Sacramento wedding, include the getting-ready location in the first message so availability and travel are answered together.
- 1
Submit the date, Wedding, Sacramento, the number of people, and hair, makeup, or both.
- 2
Use the notes for the getting-ready address and the be-ready time. That is what she uses to confirm the $2-per-mile rule past 30 miles.
- 3
If she is available, a $100 retainer and a signed contract hold the date. The retainer does not reduce the service total.
- 4
The contract is requested at least 30 days before the wedding.
Payment accepted: cash, Venmo, Cash App, Apple Pay, and check.

Questions
Do you travel into Sacramento for bridal hair and makeup?
Yes. Alaena is based in Rocklin and comes to the Sacramento getting-ready location. Trials stay at her home studio in Rocklin.
Why can't you quote Sacramento travel without an address?
Because the rule is a radius, not a city. Travel within 30 miles of the Rocklin studio is included, and travel beyond that is $2 per mile, round trip, from Rocklin to the event location. She confirms the fee from the getting-ready address before the date is held.
What reserves the Sacramento wedding once travel is clear?
A minimum of four services, a $100 retainer, and a signed contract. The retainer does not apply toward the balance. The contract is requested at least 30 days before the event.
