Quinceañera & Sweet 16th
Quinceañera and Sweet 16th Hair and Makeup in Cinnaminson, NJ
Her day counts as much as a bride's, and it gets the same day I give one.
Recent work
All three are quinceañeras. A Sweet 16th runs the same day, with the same team.
What it is
A wedding with a different guest list
There is a dress. There are photos that stay in the family for forty years. And there is a girl who has never had her hair and makeup done like this before, which is a different job from doing it for someone who has.
So we talk before, we try it before if she wants to, and on the day I come to you with the team. Tiara, crown, flowers, whatever the dress asks for, we work it into the hair instead of balancing it on top.
She might be turning fifteen or sixteen. Quinceañera or Sweet 16th, the day I give is the same: the same team, the same schedule, the same trial if she wants one.
Her damas, or her court, get the same schedule, not the leftovers of it.
The day
How it runs
Hold the date
A deposit of 30 percent books it. Dates for quinceañeras, Sweet 16ths and weddings go months out, so the earlier you ask, the more likely you get the one you want.
The trial, if she wants it
Some girls want to see the hair and makeup before the day. Some would rather do it all on the morning. The trial goes in the package or it does not, and both are fine.
On the day
We come to you, wherever she is getting ready. Hair and makeup, her and her damas, on one schedule, with somebody watching the clock so she is not the one watching it.
Questions
Before you book her day
Do you do Sweet 16ths, or only quinceañeras?
Both, and it is the same day of work. Hair and makeup for her and for whoever is getting ready with her, at your place, with a trial before if she wants one. The photos on this page happen to be quinceañeras, because that is what has come through the studio so far.
How many of us can you do in one day?
It depends on the day and what each person is having done, and the team is big enough that the number is rarely the problem. The largest party we have done so far was forty people.
Do you come to us, or do we come to you?
For the day itself, I come to you, wherever she is getting ready. The trial is at the studio in Cinnaminson, because that is where everything I might need is.
Do you do makeup too, or only hair?
Both. Hair and makeup are done by me and the team that works with me, on the same day and the same schedule. That is the point of booking the day instead of booking a service.
Can she change her hair for the party?
Yes, and a lot of girls do. We can come back after the ceremony to change the hair or redo the makeup for the party, or for a second round of photos. Tell me if you want that in the package and I price it in.
How much does it cost?
Pricing is set once we know the date, the styles, and how many people are getting hair and makeup done. Every package is built for the girl and her party, so ask when you check her date.
What happens if we cancel or change the date?
A deposit of 30 percent holds the date. Cancel or miss the day and that deposit is not refunded. Moving the date is different: I can carry it over as long as the team and I are free on the new one. If we are already booked that day, it stays non refundable.

Tell me when it is and how many of you there are. I will tell you what the day looks like.
