Megan Johnston Artistry

Last reviewed: September 22, 2026. Business status: Active.

Megan Johnston Artistry provides Calgary bridal hair and makeup for weddings, events and on-location appointments. The official website describes a soft-glam approach tailored to each client's skin, style and wedding-day plans, with an emphasis on enhancing natural features rather than creating an overdone look. Services and prices are published online for bridal, attendee and selected add-on appointments.

This profile was last reviewed on September 22, 2026, using the business's official website. Couples should still confirm date availability, the final service plan, travel charges and any current booking terms directly with Megan Johnston Artistry before making arrangements.

Services and specialization

The listed bridal services are Bridal Makeup at $250 and Bridal Hair Styling at $250. The site also lists Event or Attendee Makeup at $200 and Event or Attendee Hair Styling at $200, which may be relevant to members of a wedding party or guests. Additional listed options include clip-in extension placement for $50, with extensions supplied by the client, and touch-ups or standby at $100 per hour.

The business presents its work as soft glam and says that each look is tailored to the client's individual style. Its home page also describes on-location beauty services. The About page says Megan Johnston has more than 10 years of experience in the esthetics and spray-tan world and is now focused more closely on hair and makeup services. That background is included here as the operator's own description, not as an independently verified award or credential.

Service area and who it may suit

The official website identifies the business with Calgary Bridal Hair & Makeup and publishes travel rates for Calgary, Airdrie, Okotoks, Kananaskis, Canmore, Banff, Lake Louise, Golden and Fernie. The published rates are travel charges rather than all-in service totals, so couples should ask how the applicable travel fee will be calculated for their getting-ready location.

This documented service format may suit couples planning a Calgary wedding, a nearby Alberta celebration or a destination event along the listed travel routes. It may also be relevant for clients who want hair and makeup arranged at their getting-ready location. The website does not provide a complete list of venues served, so a specific venue and address should be confirmed before booking.

• Calgary travel rate: $60
• Airdrie and Okotoks travel rate: $80
• Kananaskis travel rate: $145
• Canmore travel rate: $175
• Banff travel rate: $225
• Lake Louise travel rate: $325
• Golden and Fernie travel rate: $400

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented strength is the amount of service information available on the official services page. Couples can review separate hair and makeup prices, several travel rates, add-on pricing and answers to common booking questions before contacting the artist. The website also explains that the look is tailored to the client and that trials are used to adjust the makeup to individual preferences.

The site states that hair or makeup can accommodate bridal parties of up to 7–8. For larger groups, or for groups requesting both hair and makeup, the artist says another artist will be hired to help maintain the timeline and service level. This is an operator-provided planning detail, not a guarantee of availability for a particular date.

The available evidence does not include a business phone number, postal address, contract terms, deposit information, cancellation policy or a current availability calendar. These are practical limitations of the published information and should be confirmed directly.

• A trial is required according to the official FAQ.
• The website recommends booking after the wedding date and venue are confirmed.
• An additional artist may be brought in for larger or combined-service parties.
• No phone number or postal address is published in the supplied official pages.

Pricing

The official services page publishes the following prices: Bridal Makeup $250; Bridal Hair Styling $250; Event or Attendee Makeup $200; Event or Attendee Hair Styling $200; Clip-in Extension Placement $50; and Touch Ups/Standby at $100 per hour. Flower girl hair or makeup is listed as requiring a custom quote.

Travel charges are published separately. The listed amounts range from $60 for Calgary to $400 for Golden or Fernie. The site notes that a separate travel fee applies if an additional artist joins the booking. For weddings located three hours away or more, it requests one night of accommodation in the same hotel as the getting-ready location or a nearby hotel.

The FAQ also states that a Friday-to-Sunday wedding for one person requires a minimum spend of $1,000, while there is no minimum spend for Monday-to-Thursday weddings. Couples should confirm how this minimum applies to their requested date and services, and whether any taxes or other charges are added.

• Bridal hair styling: $250
• Event or attendee makeup or hair styling: $200 each

The booking process described on the site begins with confirming the wedding date and venue, then arranging a trial.

What couples should confirm

Before booking, couples should confirm that Megan Johnston Artistry is available for the wedding date, venue and required start time. The published pricing and travel rates provide a useful planning baseline, but the final total may depend on the number of people, the combination of hair and makeup services, the location and whether another artist is needed.

Couples should also ask for the current contract, payment schedule, cancellation or postponement terms and any applicable taxes or fees. If the event is outside the listed destinations, confirm whether the location can be accommodated and how travel will be quoted. For a large wedding party, request a timeline showing who will provide each service and when the additional artist would be involved.

For the trial, bring inspiration images and discuss hair length, texture, extensions, makeup preferences, allergies or sensitivities and the desired level of coverage. The official site recommends clean, dry hair and a clean, moisturized face for the appointment.

• Confirm date, venue, getting-ready location and arrival time.
• Confirm the final service list, group size and minimum-spend application.
• Ask how travel, accommodation and any second-location charges will be calculated.
• Request current contract, payment, cancellation and postponement terms.
• Discuss the trial, inspiration images and any hair or skin considerations.
