Preparing for your Trial Run

Hi Ladies,

I’m looking forward to seeing you for your Pre-Event Consultation!  Before your trial here are a few reminders to prepare yourself for our appointment:

Trial runs usually take up to: For Hair & Makeup 2 to 2.5hrs; Just Makeup 1.5 hrs, Just Hair 1.5 hrs; so please schedule accordingly. In the trial run your artist will do a single hair style and makeup application with a few corrections. Multiple corrections or changes in the trial run that extend the time of the trial run over the scheduled time (1.5 hrs for Just Makeup, 1.5 hrs for Just Hair, 2.5 hrs for Hair and Makeup), may accrue additional charges of $50 per hour.

1. Exfoliate your face, lips as well. This will ensure your makeup application is smooth and flawless.
2. Moisturize and be well hydrated. Hydrated skin is happy skin!  Your makeup will look its best.
3. Please have dry hair, preferably one day unwashed. Hair that is wet or too oily will not style well.
4. NON-CURLY HAIR ONLY – Please brush out your hair and hair extensions thoroughly.
5. NATURAL CURL: If you wish to use your natural curl for your day of look, please be sure to wash and prep it the day before with the usual products to achieve your desired curl pattern. You know your hair best, if your best curl is a few days before your event, please wash and prep according to the schedule best for your hair.
6. Persons with curly hair that DO NOT wish to use their natural curl pattern, please make sure that they either blow dry their hair straight, or lightly straighten. This will insure they have the smooth curl and clean look they are desiring.
7. We appreciate any photos of hair and makeup inspiration you would like to bring; we want to make sure that we achieve the look you most desire.
8. If you are wanting to wear hair extensions, please bring them with you the day of your trial run so we can experiment with the hairstyle you want.
9. We encourage you to bring your veil and any hair pieces you might be wanting to wear the day of your wedding.
10. We encourage you to wear a white, or another such light color, blouse/dress with a similar neckline to your wedding dress. This will help you get a better vision of what your hair and makeup will look like on your special day. Avoid casual or workout clothing as it makes it harder to envision the final look.
11. We strongly recommend the removal of facial hair as it has a tendency to show up as a “shadow” on camera. You can wax this prior to your appointment or shave it in the shower prior to the appointment.
12. Lastly, we welcome guests, however we ask that you limit your guests to only two persons over the age of 16 yrs old. We will be wearing masks while working on you to ensure your safety and comfort.

Again, we look forward to meeting you for your Pre-Event Trial Run and are excited to be a part of your wedding planning!

Sincerely,
