Bridal Bookings for Both Hair & Makeup Services
If you are booking both Hair and Makeup services, to complete this booking I will bring another member of my team to assist me on your special day to ensure we complete the bridal party within the timeframe. I always commit to doing the Bride’s Hair & Makeup personally as well as the hairstyling services for the remaining bridal party. The assisting makeup artist will have the same experience, quality and aesthetic as myself and they will look after the remaining bridal party’s makeup. All of the Bride’s hair and makeup requirements are taken care of by myself.
Please have a thorough look through my website and Instagram to ensure that I am the right “fit + aesthetic” for your special day.

Hair & Makeup Trial $440

FAQs - Bridal Service
1. What is your refund & cancellation policy?
Should the unforeseen happen and you are required to cancel your wedding and booking with me, you will be required to pay 50% of your final invoice if you cancel more than 90 Days from your original date.
If you are required to cancel your wedding within 1 month of your date I reserve the right to invoice the full invoice amount.
If your wedding is canceled due to a COVID-19 LOCKDOWN and CANNOT proceed on your chosen date, I may be able to accommodate a change of date if your future date is available.
If COVID-19 affects your wedding by either reduced numbers or closed borders BUT can still proceed, my normal terms and conditions apply.
*If you book an alternative date where I am not available, you forfeit the $350 booking deposit only.
2. How far in advance should I book?
For the best chance of availability for your special day, I recommend booking at least 6-12 months from your chosen day. I recommend that your hair & makeup trial be performed 3 months out from your wedding day and these are held on a Wednesday and Thursday. Please bring along any visuals you have for reference and I suggest booking it on the same day as your dress fitting so you can see the whole look.
*Please bring an image from my website or Instagram @leighmccoy_
*Trial bookings are separate and are the bride's responsibility to book.
3. Is a Booking Fee required?
Yes, a booking fee of $350 is required to lock in your special day with me. I do not offer refunds of the booking fee as this is my security for blocking out that day for you and turning away other brides for your date. Your booking fee will be deducted from your final invoice.
4. When is payment due?
The total cost of your booking is paid over 2 payments. First is the $350 non-refundable and non-transferable booking deposit to secure your wedding day. The second and final instalment is due 14 days (2 weeks) before your wedding day. All payments are made online via bank transfer. Your bridal trial cost is not included in the wedding booking quote, this is an additional cost which needs to be paid on the day of your hair trial.
5. Can you travel to the location of my wedding?
Travel costs are included for weddings within the Brisbane CBD. A travel fee of $80.00 per hour is charged for weddings located in Brisbane outside of Brisbane City to and from the wedding destination.. Further travel costs vary depending on the wedding location. Please ensure you provide the bridal party’s pre-wedding location address to ensure I can provide an accurate quote.
*Valet parking for all inner city hotels is a must due to Health and Safety requirements and is the bride's responsibility to organise.
6. How long does it take on my wedding day?
Please allow 1 hour for the bride and up to an hour per bridesmaid. Please note if anyone in the bridal party is using hair extensions, allocate an additional 15 minutes.
7. What if the time of my wedding changes?
I only book one wedding per day so I can work with you on the start and end times. Please note if your start time is before 6am an early morning fee will apply.
*Early morning start fee $100.00.
8. How do I prepare my skin in the lead up to my wedding?
Start prepping 6 months in advance. Begin a daily beauty regimen that includes exfoliating, cleansing, toning, and moisturising. Remember to treat your neck, chest, back, and more—try out body brushing. Moisturise your hands and feet, and get a mani/pedi test. I also highly recommend visiting my friends at The Skin Lab to discuss an individual program of treatments leading up to your special event. I personally love Skin Needling, LED Light Therapy and The Fire and Ice Facial the day before your wedding day.
The Skin Lab is an independent and locally owned Medical and Cosmetic Laser clinic that will tailor bridal treatments and skincare packages exclusively from one person right up to the entire bridal party.
Please mention Leigh McCoy for a further 10% off your bridal package!
9. How do I prep my hair leading up to my wedding?
Decide what your colour will be and continue to work with your hairdresser to maintain hair health and strength by getting regular trims. 24 Hours before your wedding day, I ask that you please shampoo your hair twice. If you have fine hair, skip the conditioner. Alternatively, use a pea size amount just on the ends only. Towel dry hair properly and let air dry. DO NOT use any serums, irons or treatments. Try to refrain from sleeping with a hair tie.
10. COVID-19 Policy
Should you have any COVID-19 symptoms I please ask that you contact me immediately so that we can discuss your booking.
In the event that I contract COVID-19 and are unable to complete your booking personally, I will organise one of my own artists of the same skill and aesthetic to look after you on your special day.
