I recommend waiting until you have chosen your wedding venue and dress before doing your trial. These will help to determine the feel of your wedding day and we can best compliment the neckline and style of your dress with the look you choose.

If you already have a sense of how you’d like to wear your hair or have your makeup done for your wedding date and want to come in for your trial before booking, please feel free to do so.

Keep in mind, your date is not secured until the deposit and contract are received so please be sure to get an appointment as soon as possible to avoid risking losing the date beforehand.

The standard bridal trial appointment lasts one hour and is included in the price of your bridal package for each hair and makeup. For your hair trial, you can use the time however you wish.

The one-hour appointment is the ideal amount of time to finish one style as you would on your wedding day, touching base every step of the way on each element and detail, and making adjustments as necessary to achieve a perfect look.

It's a good idea to wear a white or a dressier top so you can best evaluate your style.

Accessories for your hair are so much fun, but sometimes you'll need some guidance.

The best time to assess what will look good in your hair is when you are planning your wedding style. This helps bring the vision to life when you see the overall style put together. I have a variety of beautiful hair pieces for you to purchase and try on at your trial appointment.

I also love using fresh flowers like baby's breath or spray roses to compliment your style or greenery like fern or eucalyptus. These are affordable and always look stunning.

It is common for brides to choose two styles that are done faster without the finishing touches, such as having their hair up or half up.

Please let your stylist know ahead of time if you would like to try more styles or to see multiple styles before the wedding. Pricing will be adjusted accordingly.

Yes, this is a great opportunity to see the whole look! There is an additional fee for your makeup trial. Please let us know if you would like both services when scheduling your bridal hair trial.

Everyone having hair services can choose the look they’d like to wear. If you would prefer to have everyone in a certain style or avoid a particular look, please let me know in advance. To prepare best for the morning of the wedding, I request the names of everyone having their hair done. I also request descriptions of their hair, and how they’d like to style their hair. Below are examples of what I mean when I request this.

The two examples and the style chart below are good representations of this information:

Ashley, a bridesmaid, with long thick hair past her shoulders, wants half up - half down with curls.

Christine, the mother of the bride, with chin-length, thin, fine hair, wants a blowout.

Definitely! When it comes to coloring before your wedding, I don't recommend doing anything drastic, but adding a few natural highlights will help you accentuate the gorgeous details in your style. If you color regularly, you should touch up your color before the wedding, but no later than two weeks before the big day.

I recommend contacting me at least two months before your wedding to schedule an appointment to color your hair. Please complete my new client form (you can find this on our Say Hello page) if you are still unsure but interested, and we can set up a meeting to discuss possible options I'd recommend and what sort of upkeep (if any) those looks might involve.
