  • A makeup trial is highly recommended for brides.
    This is an opportunity to discuss your vision, see how the makeup wears on your skin, and make any adjustments ahead of your wedding day - this ensures a relaxed and stress-free morning.

  • Trials are generally recommended 1–2 months prior to your wedding day.
    Ideally, your hair length, colour, style, and skin condition should be similar to how they will be on the day to get the most from your trial.
    That said, trials can be scheduled at any time.

  • We recommend purchasing a lipstick in a shade you love to use throughout the day.
    This allows for easy touch-ups whenever needed.

  • This depends on your hair type, thickness, and how well your hair holds style.
    Extensions are often recommended for hair worn down with waves, or for adding volume and length to up-styles.

  • Yes.

    • Halo extensions are ideal for wearing hair down with waves.

    • Clip-in extensions work beautifully for up-styles and buns.

    Tip: Match extensions to the colour of the ends of your hair for seamless blending.

  • To ensure hair and makeup last their best:

    • All garment steaming is recommended to be completed the night before.

    • If steaming must occur on the day, it must be done in a separate room by someone who has not yet had hair or makeup completed.
      Steam and humidity can cause curls to drop, frizz, and makeup to break down.

    • Champagne sprays are fun and encouraged - however, once hair and makeup are complete, styles affected by champagne cannot always be easily corrected.
      Responsibility for maintaining finished hair and makeup rests with the client once services are completed.
