Simple Beauty Artistry is a hair and makeup studio at 26504 Preston Ave in Old Town Spring, north of the Houston metro. It’s led by Mayra, a licensed hairstylist and makeup artist, with a small team of artists (Anita, Gissel, Rocky, and Laura, per the site) that covers weddings, quinceañeras, photo sessions, and other special events, both in-studio and on location. Unlike a lot of makeup artists who quote over text or Instagram DM, this business publishes detailed price lists for every service type, which makes it easier to budget upfront.
What’s included
For quinceañeras, the Hair and Makeup package ($550) covers one full look on the event day, crown or hairpiece placement, body glow, lashes, and a mini touch-up kit; a single service (hair only or makeup only) runs $450. The Quinceañera Package ($975) adds an in-studio trial ahead of the event. For the rest of the court (moms, sisters, guests), pricing is $275 for hair and makeup or $175 for one service.
For weddings, there are three bridal packages: the Curated Bride ($975), the Luxury Bride ($1,275, adding a lift-and-firm eye treatment, luxury lashes, and body glow), and the Red Carpet Bride ($1,775, with two trials, a rehearsal look, and a lipstick engraved with the bride’s name). Outside a package, the bride pays $425 for hair and makeup or $325 for one service; bridesmaids $275/$175, junior bridesmaids (ages 9-12) $200, and flower girls (ages 5-8) $85 for hair only. They also offer tikka and dupatta placement ($65) for South Asian weddings.
Beyond bridal work, the studio offers beauty services for prom, graduation, photo shoots, or corporate events ($200-$300 in-studio), half- or full-day on-location work for commercial productions ($975-$1,500), private hair and makeup classes ($375 each), and “Girls Night” packages for bachelorette parties starting at $600.
Pricing and the fine print
Wedding and quinceañera group bookings require a 4-hour minimum per reservation, and each individual service takes 30-45 minutes. Weddings also carry a 6-service minimum per event (not necessarily 6 people — it can be any mix of hair and makeup services that adds up to six). Several charges stack on top of the base price: 20% gratuity, a travel fee of $2 per round-trip mile from the Spring studio (a $50 minimum, charged per artist), $100 per additional artist, a $100 holiday surcharge, a $100 fee for start times before 9am, a $50 contract processing fee, and a 3.75% surcharge for card payments (avoidable by paying via Zelle). The deposit is 50% of the total, with the balance due 4 weeks before the event.
Trials are booked separately, Tuesday through Thursday, and don’t count toward day-of service totals: they run $495 (hair and makeup) or $375 (one service) for quinceañeras, and $350/$200 for weddings.
Who it’s best for
This fits families who already have a set date and a reasonably firm headcount and would rather work with published pricing and a formal contract than an informal quote. The track record is strong: 4.8 out of 5 stars on WeddingWire across 81 reviews, with a 97% recommendation rate, and reviewers consistently mention that hair and makeup held up through hours of dancing and Houston heat. Per the studio’s own FAQ, their calendar tends to book up as much as a year and a half out, so this isn’t the vendor for a last-minute booking or someone hoping to negotiate — the site explicitly states they don’t offer additional discounts.
Tips before booking
- Lock in your full service list before signing: once the contract is submitted, services can’t be removed or credited (you can only swap one person for another at the same dollar amount). You can add services later, but at the current rate, not the original contract rate.
- Have your headcount and getting-ready location ready before requesting a quote — the studio needs both to price things accurately.
- Ask about the travel fee if you’re getting ready outside the studio: $2 per round-trip mile per artist, $50 minimum. Getting ready at the Spring studio avoids it entirely.
- If you have textured hair and want your natural curl, prep it yourself beforehand — the 30-45 minute window per service doesn’t allow time to both smooth and style; if your requested look doesn’t work with your natural texture, you’ll need to arrive pre-smoothed.
- Pay via Zelle instead of card to skip the 3.75% surcharge, and keep in mind the final balance is due 4 weeks before the event, not on the day itself.
- Confirm hours (Tuesday through Sunday, 9am-5pm, closed Mondays) and every final detail directly at 832-276-8668 or info@simplebeautyartistry.com before signing, since prices and policies can change.
