Wedding Day Prep Guide 


1. Stick to the Schedule

  • Know your exact appointment time and arrive 10 minutes early.
  • Be photo-ready (robe on, hair dry, and no makeup) before your appointment starts.
  • If someone tends to run late (looking at you, sister-in-law), tell them their appointment is 20 minutes earlier than scheduled!

2. Bring Inspiration Photos

  • Have reference photos ready for hair and makeup.
  • Choose pictures with models who have similar features (hair color, skin tone, hair type) to get the best match for your look.

3. Prep Your Skin

  • After showering, follow your usual skincare routine and exfoliate if needed.
  • Hydration is key—using a mask or eye patches before your session is a great idea!
  • Brides get complimentary eye patches; bridesmaids can purchase them for $6 per person.

4. Set Up the Beauty Area

  • We need a 3x3 foot table per artist, a power outlet, and a low-backed dining chair for hair styling.
  • I’ll bring my makeup chair, so no need to worry about that.
  • A window with natural light is ideal, but we’ll bring extra lighting if needed.

5. Wash & Dry Your Hair

  • Wash and fully dry your hair the night before or the morning of your appointment.
  • Wet hair adds 15-20 minutes to the service, which could delay the schedule.
  • If you’re worried about it being too clean to hold a style—don’t be! We have products to create the perfect texture.

6. Planning for Hair Extensions?

  • Let us know in advance if you’ll be using extensions.
  • It adds 15-20 minutes per person and costs an additional $25.

7. Wear an Easy Outfit

  • Choose something easy to slip on and off to avoid messing up your hair and makeup.
  • If your dress goes over your head, consider wearing it under a robe to protect it.

8. Be Photographer-Ready

  • Before hair and makeup, set aside your jewelry, shoes, invitations, perfume, and other details for the photographer.
  • This keeps everything organized and prevents last-minute scrambling.

9. Bridesmaids’ Emergency Kit

Brides get a touch-up kit, but I recommend bridesmaids bring:

  • Powder (for shine control)
  • Eyelash glue (DUO green glue is my go-to)
  • Eyeliner (in case you need to reapply after removing lashes)

10. Makeup Removal

  • The products we use are very waterproof!
  • Bring an oil-based makeup remover to remove everything without irritating your skin.
