FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A trial session for your matric dance is a great way to make sure you absolutely love your look before the big night. This relaxed and creative session, usually lasting 1.5 to 2 hours, gives us the perfect opportunity to explore ideas and build a look that feels 100% *you*.

During your trial, we will:

  • Explore Your Vision: We’ll chat about your dress, any makeup or hairstyle inspo you’ve saved, and your overall vibe for the night — from soft glam to full-on drama.
  • Try Out Different Looks: Together we’ll test out various makeup styles and hair ideas, experimenting with shades, shapes, and techniques to see what suits you best.
  • Check for Comfort & Wearability: You’ll get to feel how everything wears and make sure it’s comfortable and durable enough to last through dancing, photos, and the whole celebration.
  • Perfect the Details: We’ll fine-tune everything — from the exact eyeliner flick to the volume in your curls — so you’re 100% happy with the final result.
  • Snap Reference Photos: I’ll take a few photos of the completed look to use as a guide on the day of your event.

Where does the magic happen?

Trials are usually done at my studio in beautiful Bloubergstrand, where I have all the tools, products, and lighting needed to give you the full glam experience. If you prefer, I can also come to your location — just note that a travel fee may apply, and we’ll agree on that beforehand.

Is a trial required?

Not at all — trials are totally optional for matric dances, but they’re a great way to feel confident and excited about your final look. If you’re someone who likes to plan ahead or experiment a little before deciding, this session is for you.

By the end of the trial, you’ll leave feeling excited, relaxed, and completely prepared to shine on your special night!

Absolutely! I’m happy to bring my hair and makeup services straight to your home, hotel, or getting-ready location so you can enjoy a relaxed, pampered experience before your matric dance.

Locations Within the Western Cape:

If you’re getting ready within the Western Cape, a travel fee will apply. This is based on the distance from my studio in Bloubergstrand and will be clearly outlined in your quote. No surprises!

Long-Distance Travel:

For locations more than 200 km from Bloubergstrand, overnight accommodation may be required to ensure I’m fresh and ready for your glam session. If that’s the case, I’ll include those costs in your quote and discuss everything with you upfront.

How to Get an Accurate Quote:

Just let me know where you’ll be getting ready when you inquire, and I’ll send a clear, customised quote that includes any travel costs if needed. My goal is to make your glam experience effortless — no matter where you are!

Absolutely! Whether it’s just you or you and a group of friends getting ready together, I’m fully equipped to make sure everyone looks and feels amazing for the big night.

With access to a trusted network of experienced and qualified hair and makeup artists, I can bring in extra hands to accommodate larger groups — all while keeping the vibe fun, relaxed, and on schedule.

Here’s how we make group bookings effortless:

  • Coordinated Team: I work alongside skilled professionals who share my standards for quality, ensuring every person gets the attention they deserve without delays.
  • Shared Aesthetic or Individual Looks: Want a cohesive look for your squad? Or do you each want something unique? Either way, we’ve got you covered — we’ll tailor every look while keeping the overall vibe in sync.
  • Efficient Timing: We’ll plan ahead with a timeline that keeps everything running smoothly, so no one’s rushed and everyone’s ready on time.
  • Fun, Stress-Free Experience: Getting ready should be part of the celebration! You and your friends can enjoy the glam process together while we handle all the beauty details.
  • Flexible to Your Needs: Whether it’s two friends or a full group of ten, we’ll scale the team to suit your numbers — with no compromise on quality or care.

If you’re planning a group glam session before your matric dance, just let me know the number of people and we’ll put together a package that works perfectly for everyone!

    Kay-Lee Muller is an exceptional hair and make-up artist! She recently did my daughter’s hair and make-up for her Matric Farewell dance, and we couldn’t have been happier. From the first message, Kay-Lee was professional, friendly, and quick to respond. She made my daughter feel completely comfortable and confident, and her work was absolutely flawless. Kay-Lee is truly talented, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional and caring artist.

    Kay-Lee was an absolute star on the day of my wedding! But this started from the moment we started chatting and organized the trail to feedback and finally the fun of the day! Her energy matches yours perfectly. And damn can she make sure your eyes pop! My day was truly complete with her doing my makeup. She also did my mother's hair and makeup amazingly! And my maid of honor was glamorous as well. Truly a gifted artist
