bridal makeup + hair prep

hair prep

  • Come with clean and dry hair (wash your hair preferably the night before the day of the appointment), when washing your hair condition from your mid-lengths to ends only. If your hair is naturally slippery, skip conditioner all together.

  • Stray away from silicone based products, they will make the hair too slippery to work with. Pantene, Palmolive, Tresemme and Sunsilk are some to avoid.

  • Blow dry your hair smooth after washing it, avoid using a flat iron to straighten

  • Have little to no product in your hair, some light styling product would be fine but mainly avoid any serums, smoothing creams, and any type of oil.

  • Hair extensions - if you’re bringing your own clip-in hair extensions please ensure they are washed prior to the day with a clarifying shampoo, at least two times. Blow dry them smooth until fully dry. This is crucial if they are new extensions to ensure the longevity of the curl when being styled into the hair.

makeup prep

  • The night before use a mild exfoliant to create a smooth canvas for your makeup application.

  • Exfoliate your lips! Moisturized and exfoliated lips are key in having kissable soft lips for your wedding.

  • Arrive with a cleansed and moisturized face.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Bridal previews are mandatory as this gives the artist and bride a chance to meet before the wedding to work-out the exact look you’ll be showcasing on your special day. Not only does it allow for the day-of to run exactly as planned and any tweaks and adjustments to be mapped out, but the 2nd time around will only be better!

  • We recommend scheduling your preview about 1-2 months before your wedding day. This allows for time to make tweaks, but it’s also close enough to your wedding that you’ll have a clear vision of exactly how you want to look.

  • We use all high-end professional grade brands of make-up. A list of our favourite brands include Make-up Forever, NARS, Benefit, Cle de Peu, Urban Decay, Stila… the list goes on as we have our favourite items from each select line.

  • Yes absolutely! We have enough artists available to accommodate larger parties and have the timing for make-up and hair requirements down to a science so you’ll never have to worry about hair and make-up not sticking to a schedule.

  • Yes ! Some brides request a return for touch-ups or a look change depending on the timing of day. For instance if you need to be ready by 11am, some brides feel at ease knowing that we will return before the reception or ceremony to do any touch-ups required. Weather factors such as high-humidity or the possibility of rain make the a return for touch-ups attractive so you know everything will be picture perfect all day long. That being said, touch-ups aren’t usually required besides the typical lip-retouch or blotting/powdering as our make-up and hair applications are designed to last 12-15 hours, all day long.
