Why should I book a professional hair and makeup stylist for my wedding?

A professional stylist ensures you look flawless both in person and in photos. We use high-quality products and expert techniques gained through years of experience and ongoing training. Hiring a professional also allows you to enjoy a stress-free experience, knowing your hair and makeup will last throughout the day.

For best results, we highly recommend scheduling a trial (Bridal Preview) before your wedding to ensure your chosen look aligns with your vision.

 

What is a Bridal Preview? Should I have one, and when should I book it?

A Bridal Preview (also known as a trial) is a consultation where we discuss, design, and apply your wedding hair and/or makeup. It gives you an opportunity to see how your chosen style will look and feel on the big day.

  • When to book? As soon as possible. Leaving it too late could mean missing out on your preferred stylist.
  • Duration: Typically 1 to 3 hours, depending on the number of styles you’d like to try.
  • Additional Looks: If you wish to test multiple styles, please inform us in advance, as additional looks may incur extra costs.

A Bridal Preview also allows you to assess your comfort level with your stylist—clear communication and trust are key to achieving your perfect look!

 

How should I prepare for my Bridal Preview?

  1. Know your skin – Inform your stylist of any skin conditions, allergies, or sensitivities. This helps us tailor the right products for a smooth, long-lasting application.
  2. Gather inspiration – Bring photos of makeup or hairstyles you love (Pinterest, magazines, etc.). Keep in mind that these should serve as inspiration rather than exact replicas.
  3. Arrive on time – Please be punctual, as appointments run on a strict schedule. Late arrivals may result in a shortened session.
  4. Guests & Children – Due to limited space and COVID-19 regulations, guests are not permitted at appointments. Bringing too many opinions can also lead to confusion and second-guessing your choices.  Please advise/discuss with us in advance if you plan on bringing someone with you.
  5. Come with a clean face & dry hair – Avoid heavy hair products like serums or excessive conditioner, as they can affect styling and hold.

 

How far in advance should I book my hair and makeup stylist?

To avoid disappointment, it’s best to book as early as possible. Popular stylists are often booked 6 months to 1–2 years in advance.

How many people can be catered for on the wedding day?

We can accommodate bridal parties of all sizes. If needed, we can assemble a professional team to ensure everyone is styled on time. Please confirm your bridal party numbers when booking.

 

Can I change my booking numbers later?

Yes, but please note that reducing the number of people may result in a loss of the booking fee for that individual. Please inform us as soon as possible of any changes so we can adjust accordingly.
