Wedding Beauty
From “yes” to “I do” and everything in between
PREVIEWS (trials)
We believe that bridal beauty is a collaboration of client and artist. From barely there to full glam, our artists work with you and your features to customize a bridal look that enhances your personal style and wedding day vision.
We offer in studio and on site previews (for an additional fee) hairstyling and/or makeup. Previews allow the opportunity to meet your artist(s), and perfect your look so you feel comfortable and confident in wedding day.
Not every client knows exactly what they want-most don’t, and it’s ok! We are here to listen, guide, edit and create with you. Knowing what you don’t like can be just as helpful!
You are also not committed to the style or look you do at your bridal preview for wedding day. I can’t tell you how often brides and clients change their minds, and that’s totally ok! What can feel perfect during your preview, can change in a matter of months. Not to fret- we can pivot and adjust with you.
What to Expect:
Your preview will be booked with your wedding day artist(s). We match artists with the client, requested style and bridal party needs as well as availability.
We provide prep instructions, discuss your inspiration ideas, and suggest options for enhancing your desired hair & makeup look.
A typical preview will last 1-1.5 hours for each service depending on your style, look, decisiveness and a how many edits are done after to perfect the look.
If you would like to see more than 1 style or makeup look, please inform us in advance and send the desired styles so additional time can be budgeted and ensure they can be achieved on the same day without rush. Additional looks are prorated based on time.
Photos will be taken and shared with you before and after for wedding day reference, to gain feedback, insight and other collaborative details as well as additional prep leading up to and for wedding/ event day.
Our favorite time of day to offer previews is earlier in the day so that client and artist are not tired from the day of work and fully able to wear your hair & makeup throughout the day as you would for wedding day. We do also schedule after some weddings on weekends when available.
Previews can be done before booking or after your date is booked. Later previews closer to your wedding date allows you to have most of your other details locked in, and you can truly focus on your bridal look. This is our most popular option for those with limited availability, or have extensive travel requirements.
If you’d like to book your preview first-let’s do it! We will need some flexibility on your part to get in as soon as possible with your wedding artists availability.
2-6 months before event is a great time, but we are completely flexibility to what feels best for you! We do encourage you to have your dress chosen prior to your preview as well as it can influence your look-especially your hairstyle.
You can also book as many previews as you’d like so you feel 100% confident going into wedding day.
If scheduling allows, booking your bridal preview with your engagement photo session is a fun way to see your hair and make up with your photographer style.
Some of our brides who do so also end up scheduling an additional preview just for wedding day hair & makeup so it’s different.

“GOOD PREP=GREAT RESULTS”
Prepping for bridal or event service is key to achieving the best results! Your time is valuable and we want you to have the best preview as possible so you leave happy and glowing, excited for your event!
Share a selfie (in natural light) with your hair from front and back & face without and with makeup, inspo pics, and even your dress well in advance before our previews so we can send additional prep and/or questions
Choose inspiration photos that are similar in color to your features and or hair length. Styles and make up will look different on different skin tones. Please keep in mind that many photos on Pinterest are AI generated, and may not be achievable. We will use them only used as inspiration.
Share specific concerns before preview and send images so we can send prep, and/or additional suggestions for best results.
We recommend washing and fully blow drying your hair the evening before a preview for best results. Air dried hair will not be fully dry and may singe, resist curl, and or frizz
If you’re interested in having a blowout done at your bridal preview, please let us know. In this scenario, you arrive with freshly washed hair that is still damp.
Arrive with clean, fully dry hair. Please do not arrive with 2-3 day old hair!!! It DOES NOT STYLE BETTER!
No oils, serums or leave in conditioners. We may suggest a volumizing product for fine straight hair once at preview.
If you are in need of a trim and color refresh please do so at least a week or several days before your bridal preview. Dry split ends are prone to more damage when hot tools and hairspray are applied.
Wear a white or neutral top (preferrably with no collar, hoodie or fuzzy materials as they may undo hair)
Clean gently exfoliated skin, with very light moisturizer on lips and face .
No oils, serums, anti wrinkle products or spf as they may not be compatible with makeup products
