BRIDAL PREVIEW PREP GUIDE

Preparing for your wedding preview is a crucial step in ensuring that your bridal glam is exactly what you envision for your big day. Here's how to prepare for a successful wedding preview:

GATHER INSPIRATION

Start by collecting hairstyle inspiration Pinterest and social media. Create a mood board or folder with images of styles you love.

WEAR WHITE

Choose clothing in a color similar to your wedding dress to help you visualize how the hairstyle will complement your bridal attire.

COMMUNICATION

While it's essential to communicate your preferences, be open to your stylist's suggestions. They may recommend adjustments based on your hair type, face shape, and overall look.

During the trial, communicate your likes and dislikes openly. If there are any aspects of the hairstyle you're unsure about, discuss them with your stylist. They can make adjustments accordingly.

TAKE NOTES AND REFLECT

After the trial, take time to reflect on the hairstyle. Consider whether it aligns with your vision and overall wedding theme. If you have any changes or adjustments in mind, communicate them with your beauty coordinator.

Remember that the wedding hair preview is a collaborative process. With thorough preparation and effective communication with your hairstylist, you'll ensure that your wedding hairstyle is nothing short of perfection on your special day.

HOW TO COME PREPARED FOR YOUR HAIR PREVIEW

On the day of your hair and makeup preview, wash your hair with the same shampoo and conditioner you plan to use on your wedding day. Clean hair is easier to work with and holds styling better. We have product needed to help adjust your hair needs.

If you plan on wearing a veil or hair piece, make sure that you bring this to your preview.

If you plan on wearing extensions on your wedding day, we suggest that you bring them to your preview. Your stylist may suggest that you purchase extensions to achieve your wedding glam goals, in which can be purchased after the preview.

HOW TO COME PREPARED FOR YOUR MAKEUP PREVIEW

Arrive at your makeup trial with a freshly cleansed face and no makeup on. This provides a clean canvas for your makeup artist to work with.

If you have sensitive skin or allergies, discuss this with your makeup artist beforehand. They can use products suitable for your skin type and perform a patch test if necessary.

Wear the makeup for as long as possible after the trial to see how well it holds up. Note any changes or touch-ups required throughout the day.

Refrain from facial waxing, procedures, chemical peels prior to your preview.

Do not use SPF, retinol or chemical exfoliants prior to your preview.

If you are going to have a spray tan for the wedding day, it is recommended that you have a spray tan for your preview as well.
