FAQs
Where are you located?
Strut The Salon. 627 Parsons Ave. Columbus, OH 43206
How do I book and what are your booking requirements?
You can book right under my booking tab. I also require at least a 2 week minimum notice for makeup appointments. Feel free to reach out if you’re trying to book just a date night look or just want to treat yourself as I may be able to work you into my schedule!
Nail appointments are available on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays of every week.
A retainer fee of 30% of the booking service is required to secure your date and time for makeup. This retainer fee will be deducted from the total due day of service. This retainer fee is non-transferable and non-refundable.
What payment methods do you accept?
I accept cash and card payments.
I have allergies and sensitive skin, now what?
If any allergens are known to any products, let me know so that I can accommodate you.
Do you travel? What are your travel fees? Are there any other fees I should know about?
I only travel within Ohio. My makeup services include up to 20 miles, any additional miles after 20 is $3 per 10 miles.
Any service requiring a start time prior to 8am, an early morning fee will apply. This fee starts at $30 and going up $30 for every extra hour before 8am. Any on location service that is booked outside of the Columbus area for a start time prior to 8am will require an overnight stay and accommodations.
All nail appointments will take place in my private suite.
Do you offer other services beside makeup and nails?
Currently I only offer make up and nail services. I will be more then happy to recommend talented artists in the other fields that you may be looking for!
What if I need to cancel my appointment?
All appointments must be cancelled at least 48 hours of scheduled appointment. Otherwise, you will be charged remainder amount of the appointment. Retainer is non-transferable and non-refundable.
Do I need to provide my own makeup products?
Unless there is something specific that you would like to bring, I provide everything necessary for the appointment.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Makeup
I recommend a clean face and exfoliating 24-48 hours before to remove any dry skin. Doing so will allow you to have the best base to help your makeup last longer.
Wear a zip up or button up shirt if you plan on changing after appointment.
Any facials or waxing at least 48 hours before appointment.
Come with a positive attitude and ready to have a great time being pampered for any event or shoot!
Nails
No previous acrylic, dip or poly gel on nails
If you have any exposed nail bed or open wounds please allow the time for those to heal before making an appointment.
What should I expect during my appointment?
Sanitation is my number one priority. I am certified in barbicide and sanitation practices.
Hand sanitizer will always be available.
No applicators will be used more than once, no double dipping.
You will always receive your nail file and buffer after every nail service as I only use those for you and only you! This goes for every client.
I will provide you with clear communication on what I am doing, direction on when to close your eyes and when to move your head or move your hands.
The time I have scheduled is for you, if you want to have quiet time, let’s do that! If you want to just vent about something, feel free! I’m always a listening ear and will cater to what you need and/or want your experience to be!
Can I bring my kids?
I understand that childcare is expensive and that you may not be able to go anywhere without your kids. Unfortunately, I do not have the extra space for any extra guests as I work in a private room. Nails take time and as I am on a schedule I cannot have possible interruptions. I want to provide you with the best service possible!
