1. Introduction: What's your story?
Hi I'm Tammie Garza, founder of and lead Bridal Hair Stylist at Divine Wedding Hair & Makeup. My passion and drive for fantasy hair started over 25 years ago, as a young young girl, i was fascinated by the idea of fantasy hair and makeup where dreams come true for that one special or any special day! It didn't hit me in the beginning and tried and fail miserably at other ventures lol, soon realize my calling is in the arts. I started my first online business hair and makeup and branch out on my own creating different wings and versions of what now has flavored and matured into a full blown expression of beauty love and creations in every wonderful client we work with. We now can offer online on location as well as services in our unique salon.
We see ourselves as more of a "boutique custom salon" where our brides and customers can come and there "look" created and tailored just for them.
Our team has the same drive and focus as we all share the same visions to fulfill our clients fantasy creations for each Special Day!
Always done with intense devotion and unique love for our craft.

6. Can the bride book a wedding makeup trial appointment and will you also do a trial before the wedding?
Yes! We highly recommend a bridal hair/makeup trial. of course when possible!
It helps us connect in real time and get to know our bride before the day of.
When not possible we offer facetime meeting up to get acquainted and chat about all details needed!
The trial and consultation is perfect for getting the last minute logistics, the time of ceremony, photography timelines, to make sure everything will run smoothly and on time for a wonderful outcome. Most importantly, it puts our bride more at ease! With a reassurance of the team having her back!
She gets to view her hair and makeup making sure she is in love with her look for on her wedding day!
7. What beauty products do you use and would you be open to the bride using her own make-up?
We use a wide range of high end makeup products. For all different skin types and skin tones. Some of our favorites are the Anastasia Beverly Hills eyeshadow palettes. They are so pigmented and last all day. The makeup artist doesn't ask our bride to provide her own makeup. The makeup artist always carries everything that may be needed. However, if the bride wants to use a specific foundation, ( for her specific reason at times can be allergies) lipstick, etc. We are more than happy to do it!
8. How can you make the bride's wedding makeup last and look good in photos?
First, never forget to ask the bride what type of skin type she has. It helps us apply the right products so the makeup will be more longwearing. Also adding a good and right primer before makeup application and a good setting spray to seal it in place. Always using products that don’t create a flashback depending the mood of the light, when pictures are taken, is a must!
9. How long will makeup take on the day and how long will you be staying for on the day?
Duration of the makeup artist or artists on location depends on the amount of people in the bridal party. It can range from 2-6 hours. The bride alone we allocate about an hour. We focus is on her the most and make sure she stands out.
The makeup team is very efficient and makes the best use out of time when working with one or groups. Touch ups are always included at the end before the makeup artist departs.
We do offer extended time after ceremony for additional touch ups for an extra fee per hour per artist.
10. What is your cancellation and/or refund policy?
We understand life happens and adjustments can be made. Our refund contract policy states, Refunds can be made within 24 hours of payment. After that, There are no refunds.
Although we work on applying the deposit toward a different rescheduled event date when possible and depending on availability.
We also offer to use the deposit/installment towards a future date/special photo/date night.
