Modern Makeup is a mobile Toronto wedding makeup artist and hairstyling team led by Jennifer Turner. Its official website says the team serves Toronto, the GTA, Durham Region and much of Southern Ontario, making the listing relevant to couples planning in Ajax and the wider region.

The business publishes bridal makeup and hairstyling rates for 2026, including options with a team member or lead artist Jennifer. Services are delivered on location, while a Richmond Hill studio address is published for appointment-only in-studio services; couples should confirm which setting applies to their wedding booking.

Services and specialization

Modern Makeup’s confirmed wedding offering is mobile bridal makeup and hairstyling. The official site presents a team option as well as bookings with lead artist Jennifer Turner. Brides may book hair and makeup together or choose hair or makeup alone; additional wedding-party members can also book either service.

The published wedding portfolio identifies Jennifer Turner’s work as wedding makeup and hair, and says looks are personalised for each bride. The business also states that its artists work with clients of all ages and ethnicities. This is a description of the company’s stated approach, rather than a guarantee of a particular result or style.

Beyond weddings, the pricing page lists party, photo-shoot, professional, corporate and lesson services. Those may be useful for related events, but wedding couples should request a quote specifically for the wedding date, wedding party and getting-ready location.

Service area and who it may suit

Modern Makeup states that it provides mobile services throughout Toronto, the GTA, Durham Region and most of Southern Ontario. Its bridal page also refers to artists in Toronto, Burlington, Vaughan and Durham Region. That regional coverage can suit couples getting ready at a home, hotel or venue rather than travelling to a salon.

The Ajax category on this Canada Wedding Guide page is consistent with the stated Durham Region coverage, but Ajax is not presented by the official business as a dedicated base or guaranteed travel zone. Travel is quoted by artist and location, so couples in Ajax, Toronto or farther afield should provide the precise getting-ready address when enquiring.

The official site also notes an appointment-only studio at 604 Edward Ave in Richmond Hill for in-studio services. It does not explicitly state that every bridal booking can be held there, so treat the studio as an option to verify rather than an assumed wedding-day location.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented strength is transparent base pricing: Modern Makeup publishes separate 2026 bridal rates for team members and for lead artist Jennifer, rather than requiring couples to enquire before seeing starting service amounts. The site also states that false eyelashes are included with makeup services and that makeup services use professional products.

Another practical feature is the range of booking formats. Couples can consider a combined hair-and-makeup booking, one service only, a bridal trial and, where appropriate, a touch-up package. The booking page asks for the date, services, party size, location and timeline, which aligns with the details needed to assess staffing for a wedding morning.

The main limitation is that travel, artist assignment and availability are not fixed by the posted rates. Each appointment is quoted per artist, travel is location-dependent and the business must confirm the date. The site also gives separate policies for early starts, long weekends and longer-distance travel, so the website price should be treated as a base amount, not a final total.

Pricing

Current pricing is explicitly published on Modern Makeup’s 2026 pricing page. With a team member, bridal hair and makeup is listed at $550 plus HST; bridal hair or makeup alone is $325 plus HST. With lead artist Jennifer, bridal hair and makeup is listed at $600 plus HST, while hair or makeup alone is $375 plus HST.

For wedding-party members, the published team-member rates are $165 plus HST for makeup and $160 plus HST for hairstyling. The page lists Jennifer’s additional party-member hair or makeup rate at $200 plus HST per service. Bridal trials are also separately listed: $400 plus HST for hair and makeup with a team member, or $450 plus HST with Jennifer.

The official page says mobile services have a minimum $20 travel fee, with the final travel cost quoted by artist distance. It also lists early-arrival fees, a $125-per-artist long-weekend or holiday fee, and overnight accommodation requirements for bookings more than 2.5 hours from an artist’s home. HST applies. Confirm the applicable rate version, travel amount and any timing fees in writing before booking.

Contact and booking

Modern Makeup directs prospective clients to its online enquiry form. The contact page asks couples to include the event date, required services, number of people for each service, specific location or getting-ready address, and the requested timeline. This information will help the team assess availability and the number of artists needed.

The official contact page lists info@modernmakeup.ca and 647-828-9111, and asks clients to email or text rather than phone when artists are working with clients. The site’s pricing page says a service agreement and invoice are sent for review and signature, with a 20% retainer of the booking total, excluding travel fees, and the remaining 80% due seven days before the wedding day.

Because staffing and travel are quoted individually, the best booking request is a concise outline of the wedding location, party size, services, ready-by time and any trial preference. Ask the business to identify the assigned artist or artists before relying on a particular portfolio example.

What couples should confirm

Confirm the exact artist assignment, especially if booking the team rather than lead artist Jennifer. The published site offers both routes, and the selected artist affects the base rate. Couples should also confirm whether one artist can complete the party within the requested schedule or whether additional artists are required.

Ask for a written total that includes HST, travel, any early-start or long-weekend fee, trial cost and touch-up coverage if wanted. If the event is a significant distance from the assigned artist, ask whether overnight accommodation will be required.

Finally, discuss the desired hair and makeup direction at the trial or consultation and confirm the final timeline. The site says it tailors looks to the client, but the official pages do not promise a particular look, product brand, duration of wear or same-day availability.

Why this listing is focused on Toronto and the GTA

Modern Makeup’s official pages consistently identify Toronto, the GTA, Durham Region and Southern Ontario as its service area. That evidence supports a Toronto/GTA regional profile rather than a claim that the company is based in Ajax or serves only Ajax.

For search purposes, “Toronto wedding makeup artist” is the clearest primary phrase because it matches the official site’s location and wedding service. “Wedding makeup Ajax” remains useful supporting language for couples using this local directory, provided it is understood as a request for regional mobile service and not as proof of an Ajax storefront.
