Hair & Makeup Trial
Is a bridal hair and makeup trial absolutely necessary?
Bridal hair and makeup trials are recommended to make sure you’re going to look perfect on your wedding day. Does your hair hold curl? Will the condition, texture, length allow you to achieve that amazing style you have your heart set on? Will you need extensions to add volume to your fine hair? Will my foundation last all day? All of these are important questions that shouldn't be left till your wedding day. Trials are also great for creating good energy and an easy going vibe for the wedding day because by then, everyone has already met and knows one another. We don’t think it’s worth leaving some things to chance, but in the end if you really don’t want to book a trial, don’t! We know that a trial run is not an option for all brides because of busy schedules or perhaps the budget doesn't allow for it, so in the event you decided not to or can't have a trial, don't worry! just make sure you allow a little extra getting ready time on the day so your stylist can ensure you look and feel gorgeous!!
Don’t be afraid to speak up!
It’s important to relax and have fun at your trial, this is your time to be pampered and play with ideas for your bridal look. Be open and honest with us, let us know if there’s something you’re not sure of so we have the opportunity to adjust it for you. Remember hair and makeup isn’t permanent so changes can always be made and it’s important for both parties that you leave happy and excited.
How far in advance do I need to book my bridal hair and makeup trial?
We recommend scheduling your bridal hair and makeup trial about two months before your wedding day, this will ensure you have time to properly test out your dream look and make any changes if necessary. While we agree you really only need to book one hair and makeup trial, you can schedule more if you'd like. For example, if you're torn between two looks or want to try something a little different the second time around, an extra appointment might help settle your nerves.
Where is the bridal hair/makeup trial held?
We come to your location for the bridal trial.
Come Prepared!
Your trial will go much smoother if you have an idea of what you’re looking for. Know what you don’t want, too-that can be just as helpful! Time to get started on a Pinterest board-the more inspiration you bring, the easier it will be for your stylist to interpret what you want. “Photos of looks you love are always helpful.
Do I wash my hair?
Go clean and product free. We advise you wash your hair the night before (so your hair has time to regain its natural oils) and don't put any product in it. If you need to do a little taming with a straightener or curling iron, that’s OK—just don’t overdo it. You want your hair to be as natural as possible.
What do I bring to a wedding hair trial?
Bring along photos of the kind of 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.
Wear white (or whatever colour your wedding dress is)
What do I bring to a wedding makeup trial?
For a makeup trial, continue your typical skin-care routine. Don’t put on any products before your trial. A clean face will hold makeup better.
If you plan to wear tan on your wedding day, it's a good idea to have the same shade on.
Wear white (or whatever colour your wedding dress is)
Bring pictures of makeup looks you like.
Shape your eyebrows 3 days before the trial.
Can my mum and bridesmaids have a trial?
Of course, we often look after bridesmaids and mum’s for a practice session with the ladies making a nice afternoon of the pampering session.
Is the person doing the bridal hair and makeup trial the same person I will have on my wedding day?
Yes you will always receive the same bridal hair and makeup artist that you had at your bridal trial.
Do I bring my bridal hair accessories?
Ideally you would have chosen your hair accessories before your trial. This is especially important if you choose to wear a veil as your hair style will need to incorporate your chosen veil.
How do I look after my skin pre trial?
Exfoliation removes dead skin cells, leaving your skin radiant and smooth. If you want soft, clean skin, exfoliating your face prior to the makeup trial will give you glowing skin. A hydrating moisturiser should be applied after.
See you soon!
