Trial Run

While not required, we highly recommend that all brides schedule a trial run for several reasons!

  • Meet your stylist - we want you to get a chance to get to know us and our style of work to allow you a little more peace of mind before your big day! We want you comfortable and confident that your stylist will not only do an excellent job on your hair and/or makeup, but also on your friends and family members!

  • Make sure you love the look you chose - sometimes we fall in love with a picture of a hairstyle or a certain kind of makeup…. but we’ve never seen it on our features. Maybe you will love it, maybe you won’t! This practice run gives you the chance to work those kinks out. Maybe you are considering an updo vs wearing your hair down, but you’ve never seen an updo on yourself. Ask your stylist if you can try both versions!

  • Give your stylist a chance to work with you before the big day - We can work much more efficiently if we don’t have to make multiple adjustments to your makeup and hair style. It also gives us a chance to see how your hair and makeup holds up and if we need to take any further steps to ensure it will last all night!
