Frequently Asked Questions
TRIALS
Timings
Trial sessions take around 2-3hrs and an extra hour will be added on for every additional person who would like a trial (Bridesmaids...etc.).Feel free to have people with you for the trial to offer different opinions. Having your Bridesmaids there creates the perfect opportunity for me to meet them too! It is worth noting though that too many differences of opinion can cause confusion. It is YOUR Day and the trial is to help us figure out what makes you feel like the best version of yourself whilst keeping that final 'Look' in mind, which will ensure everything comes together perfectly.
When
I recommend booking your trial in for around 8-12 weeks before your Big day. Around this time, your hair should be a similar length, colour, texture and thickness to how it'll be On The Day.I strongly recommend booking a trial, however it's completely up to you whether you'd like one and when you would like to book one in for. Most people will try to coincide their trial with another special event such as a Hen party, Date night or Dress fitting. I also recommend trying to time your Make up trial and Hair trial for the same day.
Pricing & Location
Trial pricing is the same as On The Day pricing. I am a mobile stylist so all Trials are held at your preferred location.Any travel further than 15miles will incur a travel fee of 50p per mile.
WEDDING DAY
What to expect
All my Wedding bookings include time for veil fitting, touch ups and photos.I book out the entire morning to be with you and support you through your getting ready process, this includes getting into dresses and helping you down stairs or through courtyards to get you to your aisle!
Timings
As a guide, I usually advise around 1hour per person and will often allow 1.5hours for the Bride if they're having a detailed style.These timings don't have to be in blocks as we can prep styles before circling back to dress them, however, it's important to overestimate how much time each style will take rather than underestimate.It's best to aim to finish 30 - 60mins before you're due to walk down the aisle. This allows plenty of time for touch ups, photos, getting into dresses and any delays that might happen...trust me, you'll be grateful for the spare moment!​
If you have any concerns regarding timings, please email me.
What to do
Please wash your hair the night before and ensure it is blow dried smooth by keeping the hair dryer nozzle pointed towards the tips of your hair strands. This helps to keep the cuticle of your hair smooth and give your hair a lovely shine.
Water and steam can cause your hair to return to its natural state so, to prevent your style from dropping out, please steam any dresses the night before and shower before your styling slot.
