Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes, that is the point of it. The 12 module curriculum covers bridal makeup from natural through dramatic transitions, airbrush application, and a full bridal hairstyling module (updos, French twists, braids, extensions, working with hot tools), plus the business side: trials, timelines, contracts, and pricing. Brides book one artist for both far more often than they book two, so the combination is what lets you charge full bridal rates.

  • Two kits. The Master Makeup kit ($299 value) and the Pro Hair kit ($350 value) with a curling iron, ceramic straightener, a 100 percent human hair mannequin training head with clamp, human hair extensions, a 10 comb professional set, and a 30+ piece accessories kit. Both ship free from New York and arrive in multiple packages.

  • Yes. The program opens with fundamentals, sanitation, and skin preparation before moving into bridal work, so beginners can enroll. There is no education requirement and no minimum age; students under 18 need parental consent.

  • You learn from OMA's New York team, including founder Nina Mua, with more than 1,000 weddings completed between them. Your assignments get personalized video feedback from a dedicated instructor, the same hybrid approach used across all OMA programs.

  • Two modules are dedicated to the business: conducting trials, wedding day timelines, common issues, pricing for profit, portfolio development, and client testimonials, and the program includes a bridal contract sample PDF you can adapt. A bonus airbrush masterclass teaches the long-lasting, photo-ready finish that lets bridal artists charge premium rates.

  • You have a 21 day money-back guarantee that starts when you get course access. The value of the kits is withheld from refunds because makeup and hair products cannot be returned for hygiene reasons. Payment plans start at $85 per month through Affirm, Afterpay, and Klarna.
