Bridal Prep Guide: Getting Ready for Your Special Day

We can’t wait to be part of your wedding! To help ensure your hair and makeup last beautifully throughout the day, please follow these simple preparation guidelines.

Note for the Bride: These guidelines apply to everyone receiving hair and/or makeup services on the day. Please feel free to pass this guide along to your bridal party and mothers!

Before Your Wedding Day

  • Hair Preparation: Wash your hair the day before your wedding. Avoid using hair masks or heavy conditioners—overly soft hair makes styling much harder to hold!
  • Skincare & Hydration: Apply a hydrating face mask the night before and drink plenty of water.
  • Facials: If you enjoy professional facials, book a gentle, hydrating facial 1–2 weeks before your wedding. Please avoid trying new skincare products, chemical peels, laser treatments, or invasive skin procedures within two weeks of your day.
  • Brows & Browsing: If you plan to wax, tint, or shape your brows, we recommend completing this 3–5 days prior.

On the Morning of Your Appointment

  • Clean Face: Arrive with a fresh, completely clean face free of makeup. We will handle all your skin prep before application!
  • Dry Hair: Ensure your hair is 100% dry and free from any styling products. Please do not arrive with wet or damp hair.
  • Clothing Choice: Wear a button-up shirt or zip-up top so you can change without disturbing your finished hair and makeup.
  • Contact Lenses: Put your contact lenses in before your makeup appointment begins.

What to Have Ready at Your Appointment

  • Veil and hair accessories
  • Jewelry
  • Inspiration photos (if you have any final style tweaks)
  • Your wedding dress (if getting dressed after hair and makeup)

Mobile Setup Requirements

For mobile on-location appointments, please ensure the setup area includes:

  • A sturdy table or bench space for our kits
  • Chairs
  • Easy access to a power outlet
  • Plenty of natural light (where possible)

Payment Reminder

Kindly ensure your remaining balance is settled prior to your appointment. Once you’ve completed payment, please email us a copy of your transfer confirmation.

We look forward to helping you look and feel absolute magic!
