FAQs

Find answers to common questions about our event planning services. Don't see yours? Contact us!

What is a Lab night?

A hands-on DIY beauty night — you create it, customize it, and take it home. Every night is a different experience.

Can I come alone?

Absolutely. Plenty of guests roll solo and leave with new friends.

Is there an age requirement?

18+ for all events, 21+ to drink.

What's the refund policy?

All ticket sales are final — no refunds, but you can transfer your ticket to a friend.

Do you host private parties?

Yes! Ladies nights, birthdays, bachelorettes, team building and more — grab the crew and book the Lab.

Do I need experience?

Nope. Everything is beginner-friendly and guided step by step.

What's included in my ticket?

All supplies, instruction, your take-home creation, plus wine/mimosas and light bites at most events. Check your event's ticket box for specifics.

What should I wear?

Theme nights are a vibe, not a uniform — dress up if you're feeling it, or just come as you are. Either way, you belong here.

Can I bring outside food?

Yes! You're more than welcome to bring a meal for and or your crew. Just bring your own silverware and serving essentials — heads up, we don't have a way to warm food up, so plan accordingly.

What if I'm running late?

Doors open 45 minutes before the event, and we give a 30-minute grace period. But if you're more than 30 minutes late, we can't let you in — you won't have time to finish your project, and tickets are non-refundable. Please try to be on time.
