Hair, makeup and attire: Questions for Your Quinceañera

Start with your actual plan.

Make room for comfort, practice and getting-ready time before she walks into the celebration.

Bring the event date, location, approximate guest count and the hours you need. Ask the adult family organizer to keep one written record. Her favorite music, comfort and chosen traditions belong in the plan; no tradition is required.

17 questions to take to the conversation.

Use the questions that fit the service you are requesting. Ask for a written answer, quantity or time instead of leaving it at “we take care of everything.”

1. Are you available on our exact date and at our location? What holds the date, and when does this quote or hold expire?
2. Who will actually deliver the service, who can explain the plan in English and Spanish, and how do we approve staff or subcontractor substitutions?
3. Can you list the complete scope and total in one currency, including taxes, required fees, travel and any overtime rates?
4. What deposit and remaining payments are due, on which dates, and how do we receive a receipt and written confirmation?
5. Who is the named stylist or makeup artist, and is a trial included with the same person?
6. How will she choose a look she feels comfortable in, with an adult organizer present and no unapproved changes?
7. What time must hair and makeup finish for dressing, portraits and travel, and how many appointments can your team actually handle?
8. Are travel, early-start fees, lashes, accessories, hair extensions and touch-ups included or separate?
9. How do you clean tools and discuss product sensitivities privately before the trial?
10. For the gown or outfit, what exact size, color, delivery date and fitting appointments are confirmed?
11. Which alterations are included, who makes them and when is the final fitting with the shoes and accessories?
12. Can she sit, walk and dance comfortably in the finished outfit, and who helps with fastening or a change of shoes?
13. If a court is part of her plan, who tracks its outfit deadline without adding members or fittings she did not choose?
14. What accessible chair, dressing space, lighting and setup do you need, and who leaves the preparation area clean?
15. If a stylist is unavailable or an outfit arrives late, what named replacement or alternate outfit can we approve in time?
16. If we cancel or change the date, what notice, fees, refunds, credits and new-date availability apply to our booking?
17. What is the final confirmation deadline, who is our event-day contact and how will you document approved changes or a backup plan?
