Makeup & Hair at Your Hotel
A Cáo artist comes to your hotel room with a full kit. Natural, glam or Korean-style — done in about an hour, holds all night in Hanoi humidity.
Questions
Good to know.
Do I need to book in advance?
Two to three days is ideal so we can match you with an artist and photographer and reserve the ao dai in your size. Same-day is sometimes possible — message us on WhatsApp and we will tell you honestly.
Where do we meet?
Your artist comes to your hotel or Airbnb for makeup and hair. The photographer then meets you at the first location, which we plan around where you are staying.
What should I wear under the ao dai?
A light, neutral top and fitted bottoms (leggings or slim trousers) work best. We bring the ao dai and the traditional trousers; you keep your own shoes, so choose something comfortable for walking.
How many photos do we get and how fast?
All the good frames from the session, edited, within 48 hours via an online gallery. Rush delivery the same evening is available.
What if it rains?
Hanoi and Saigon have real rainy seasons. We watch the forecast, move the start time or shift indoors (cafés, temples, hotel), and if the day is a wash-out we reschedule at no cost.
