Ashley Readings Hair and Makeup

Last reviewed: July 31, 2026. Business status: Active.

Ashley Readings is a Toronto bridal hair and makeup artist whose official wedding site offers combined or separate beauty services for the person getting married and other members of the wedding party. Her portfolio and service pages focus on individualized looks rather than prescribing a single bridal style.

The official site publishes service times, prices, trial options and a defined booking process. It does not publish a studio street address, live availability calendar or dated rate sheet, and its homepage retains an obsolete COVID-era notice. Couples should therefore use the information below as a researched booking brief and confirm current terms directly. Last reviewed: July 31, 2026.

Services and specialization

Ashley’s official pricing page lists wedding-day hair and makeup together, hair only and makeup only. It also lists custom-made hair extensions, men’s grooming, return visits and full-day bookings. Before-wedding options include hair and makeup trials, separate hair or makeup trials, engagement shoots, boudoir shoots, and beauty services for engagement parties, bachelorette parties and bridal showers.

The site says lashes and a touch-up kit are included with wedding-day services. Its Real Brides gallery identifies the displayed hair and makeup as work by Ashley Readings and her team, providing couples with a relevant portfolio to review before enquiring.

Wedding-day format and trials

Wedding-day service is mobile: Ashley says she comes to the client, works to the wedding schedule and brings the staff required to finish within five hours. She also states that she books one wedding per day. Couples should still confirm the proposed call time, number of artists and completion time for their own party.

Trials take place at a downtown studio, but the official site does not provide its street address. It says trials are held on weekend afternoons from May through September, with greater flexibility from October through April.

Service area and who it may suit

The official site identifies Ashley as a Toronto bridal hairstylist and makeup artist. The mobile wedding-day format may suit couples getting ready at a Toronto home, hotel or venue, while the availability of additional staff may be relevant to parties requiring several services.

Destination work is also documented. The site says destination clients should expect to cover travel, two nights of accommodation depending on location, and a car rental when required. It does not publish a standard Toronto travel radius, mileage fee, parking policy or maximum party size.

• Toronto-based bridal hair and makeup
• On-location wedding-day preparation
• Downtown-studio trials
• Destination enquiries subject to travel arrangements

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

Documented features include combined hair and makeup, separate service choices, a portfolio attributed to Ashley and her team, one-wedding-per-day scheduling, included lashes and touch-up kits, and a written booking sequence. These are confirmed service features, not endorsements or guarantees of a particular result.

Important evidence gaps remain. No public street address, accessibility information, product list, allergy protocol, cancellation terms or live availability calendar was found on the official bridal pages reviewed. The homepage also contains an outdated notice referring to Ontario’s COVID-19 service closure and bookings for 2020 and beyond. The dedicated pricing and booking pages remain accessible, but couples should confirm that every displayed policy and amount still applies to their date.

Pricing

Current pricing is explicitly published on the official site, although the page carries no effective date. It displays wedding-day hair and makeup at $450 per person, hair only at $250 per person, and makeup only at $250 per person. HST is additional. The page lists combined hair and makeup as 1 hour 45 minutes, hair only as one hour, and makeup only as 45 minutes.

Published trial prices are $300 for hair and makeup, $200 for hair only and $150 for makeup only. Other displayed prices include custom-made extensions from $300, men’s grooming at $200 per person, return visits from $400 and full-day bookings from $3,000. Couples should request a dated, itemized quote.

• Wedding-day lashes and a touch-up kit are listed as included.
• The full-day rate is described as including six services.
• Destination travel, accommodation and any required car rental are additional client costs.

Contact and booking

The official bridal site lists 416-886-4880 and booking@bridalmakeuptoronto.com. Its Booking page provides an enquiry form and asks for wedding details. The page says the bridal booker will respond within 48 hours, but response time and availability should be confirmed rather than assumed.

According to the published process, the booker first checks availability. The client then receives a contract, and a deposit equal to 50% of the total services is required to secure the date. A trial can be arranged after contracting; anyone wanting a trial before signing is instructed to schedule it promptly. The wedding-day schedule is finalized approximately one month before the event.

What couples should confirm

Ask for one written proposal covering the exact people, services and locations involved. This is especially important because the public rate page is undated and several potentially significant logistics are not published.

Couples should also discuss their preferred finish, hair preparation, extensions, skin sensitivities and accessibility needs directly. Portfolio images can establish aesthetic compatibility, but only a consultation or trial can address individual requirements.

• Availability for the wedding date and trial date
• Getting-ready address, travel, parking and early-start charges
• Number of artists and the completion schedule
• Whether lashes, touch-up kits and taxes are itemized as expected
• Deposit, cancellation, postponement and refund terms
• Product sensitivities, sanitation requirements and accessibility
