Edmonton Hair & Makeup Artist – Riti Jain
We often work with other vendors and we recommend them based on the quality of their services. This helps us provide an entire stress-free experience to our clients. This includes recommending vendors that the clients may be in need of. We often do short interviews with those vendors to ensure our clients know who they might be dealing with.
Riti Jain happens to be one of the hair and makeup artist in Edmonton we often work with. She is often a part of our team when we do collaborative shoots as well for engagement hair and makeup. Did we mention those come complimentary with our wedding packages?
Here is a small snippet of the behind the scenes video of a collaboration we recently worked on together (Model: Patricia Stables)! As you can see she is quite the magician with makeup and hair!

How did you get started?
I started when I was going through a phase of life. I wanted to get back to my artistic roots. I started exploring some part-time makeup courses and found one that I really liked. At that time I just wanted to do this as a hobby but one of my classmates offered me to do a collaborative photo shoot with her. I did makeup and hair for a model which led me to realize that I have potential to be a freelance makeup and hair artist.
Tell me about your favorite wedding last season.
I had a chance to do makeup for a South Indian wedding where they had three different ceremonies within a day. In the morning, it was a western church ceremony. The afternoon consisted of a traditional Hindu wedding. The evening consisted of a mix of Indo-western reception. I enjoyed that since the bride was extremely easygoing and we had a friendly dynamic. Spending the entire day with the bride was a new experience. We joked around and the family treated me like I was on of theirs. This was refreshing.
How far out should a bride pay a deposit to secure your services for her wedding day?
The moment a bride books her venue and photographer, she should book the hair and makeup artist around the same time.
This is usually at least 6 months before the wedding date. Although there are opening after those dates as well but doing so this much in advance ensures your date isn’t already booked.
What is included when a couple books your services for their wedding?
I offer separate trial and wedding packages. I offer a free consultation that involves going through the various idea and thoughts that the clients have for hair and makeup. This also involves skin analysis. This consultation also allows me to meet my clients and understand their needs thus ensuring a personalized service.
How do you help couples customize their wedding?
I am very flexible in terms of the look that my clients want to achieve. My clientele is very diverse and includes people from all races and cultural backgrounds. This give me the ability to adapt looks to different clients and ensure that you look your best on the wedding day.
What is one interesting fact about your services?
The diversity in my portfolio and my ability to adapt to various different looks.
What do you have planned for the future?
I plan on opening my own studio and supervise my own team of like-minded makeup and hair artists.
How many people can you accommodate? (i.e bridal party makeup)
Up-to 8 people easily. I often work with another artist who assists me for bigger bridal parties.
What makes your services unique?
I am a very good listener and I strive to provide amazing client service.
How long has this business been a part of the community?
3 years
Who would be the best person to contact if a couple wants to book your services?
