Please arrive with clean and completely dry hair. Please note that there will be an extra fee of $25 for individuals with wet or damp hair, as we will need to blow-dry it.

Avoid wearing your hair in a tight bun or any hairstyle that could cause kinks or indentations in your hair. Instead, gently pull your hair back using a scrunchy or a band that won't leave creases in your hair.

Make sure your hair is not excessively oily or greasy, but also avoid having hair that is overly unclean. Hair that is too unclean can make it more challenging to style and may not hold your desired hairstyle as effectively.

Wash your face prior to makeup application

You can safely use your regular skincare products along with a lightweight moisturizer.

Exfoliate your skin once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells and achieve a smoother texture. This helps makeup adhere evenly and prevents flakiness.

Maintain a well-balanced diet that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, and antioxidants while limiting your intake of excessive sugar and processed foods.

Refrain from trying new, harsh treatments too close to the wedding, as they might cause redness or irritation.

Wear a white top - as it makes it easier to visualize your hair and makeup for the wedding day.

Avoid using vague terms. Words like 'boho', 'natural' or 'vintage' have somewhat lost all meaning. Your idea of ‘natural beachy waves' or ‘natural makeup' might be very different from your hairstylist or makeup artist's idea. If you know what you want, be specific, and better still, have examples.

Don't expect your look to be identical to the photos. Your stylist or makeup artist will use them to take inspiration, but adapt them to your own features and hair texture. Be the best version of you!

If only getting hair, it is helpful to have your makeup done similar to how you have it done for the day of the wedding.

We will be taking lots of pictures/videos after your trial is completed.

Make Plans for Afterwards - Make the most of your pro-styled hair or makeup. Go out dancing, get some cocktails or plan a special date night

Giving your hair and makeup a proper test run means you can see how it wears over the course of a day or night. You can check how it looks in photographs. Plus, test and tweak any of the products you may need for longevity.

Wear your hair down, generally washed the night before with no product in it.

Bring along photos of the styles you like.

Bring your veil, wedding hair accessories and earrings.

Bring a photo of your dress so your hairstylist can get a sense of the neckline.

Let them know any non-negotiables. Flowers in your hair, red lipstick and liquid liner, a victory roll up-do, if you have your heart set on certain details, let the pros know.

Be open to suggestions. Good hairstylists and makeup artists know what they're doing, so give them freedom to play around a little - have an open mind.
