I make a Group Schedule as opposed to an individual time slot schedule so there are no exact times per person. This has worked so much better compared to individual times! Some hairstyles can take 25 minutes while others can 1.25 hours. The group schedule balances this out so I'm not waiting and wasting time for someone to arrive.
If you want to do a trial first before you book your wedding day, do your trial within a month and we will put a soft hold on your wedding date. If you have already booked us, we recommend booking your trial at least 1 month prior to your wedding day. For best availability book your trial starting from late fall to late spring.
Absolutely!
Preview appointments are required for the Bride/Main Client when booking for your wedding.
It is the time where I get to know you, you get to know me, & your beauty expectations are discussed. All very important things! It is essential for me to get to know your personal style and beauty preferences.
During this appointment, I work to develop a relationship where everyone, especially you, can be honest. This enables me to do my best to help you to achieve your ideal look, within realistic expectations of your hair type, but also a look that you love!
Preview appointments are not available for additional party members.
Your trial will be scheduled approximately 1 to 1.5 months before your wedding date.
There’s no need to book your trial immediately if your wedding is still more than 6 months away—especially if you’re waiting for your hair accessories, veil, or dupatta, as those are important for finalizing your look.
During the trial session, we will create the hairstyle you envision for your wedding day.
If you’re not happy with the result, we can schedule one additional session at no extra cost to make adjustments.
However, if you decide to completely change your desired style, an additional fee will apply for a new trial.
Previews are scheduled during the week Tuesdays - Thursdays. Weekend availability is not available due to on-site weddings and events booked.
Please allot a minimum of 3 Hours for your preview appointment, this way we can ensure the end look is perfected and questions and/or concerns can be addressed.
I recommend booking your preview the same day as your makeup preview and/or if possible on the same day as a dress fitting. This will give you the best visual of how you will look on your wedding day!
Our rates are higher for brides who have decided to forgo doing a trial because extra time is needed to perform a consultation and make any necessary adjustments if need be after the hair and makeup has been completed.
Trials are highly recommended because you will meet and become familiar with your artists for your wedding day. Your artists can recommend a hair care product regimen if you have any skin concerns or if an artist notices anything that will affect how the hair will look and perform (dry/oily/grease /curly .......) and can suggest some hair care products or suggest seeing before your wedding day. Many photos we see of hair styles are made with hair extensions so seeing your hair beforehand, we can also let you know if hair extensions are necessary to create the hair style you're envisioning for the day of. Trials let us know if any adjustments need to be made to the hair style after you have worn it for the rest of the day when we follow up the next day.
The trial includes 1 hair style and 1 makeup look. Minor adjustments to the style of the hair or makeup are included. The service also includes complimentary strip lashes and hair donut if wanted. If you would like more than one makeup or hair look, it is an additional trial service charge per additional look.
Have any accessories you may want to wear including your veil, earrings, hair accessories etc.
Wear a similar style/color shirt that matches your dress to have a better visual of the wedding day look.
Please have your hair freshly clean within 24 hours of the scheduled preview & 100% dry. There is no need to do any type of excessive styling, I'll take care of that for you!
I don't recommend scheduling them on those important dates for these reasons:
- If your preview takes longer than expected for extra details, questions etc, you run the risk of being late for your shower/photos.
- Looking too "glammed up" at your shower. The hair is meant to match your wedding dress, not your shower attire.
- You'll have the same hairstyle in your engagement photos that you will on your wedding day.
- Do you really want Aunt Carols uncalled for opinion??
We suggest booking hairstyling services at the very minimum of 6 months to give you the best chance of us being available for your big day. 9-12 months in advance is ideal. Due to the pandemic that postponed many weddings, our 2024 is booking up quickly. If you like what you see, book now by putting down a retainer and signed contract to reserve your date before we are fully booked.
Yes, I require a 50% deposit of the total contract to reserve hairstyling services for your wedding day. Once the payment is received, services cannot be removed—only additional services may be added if time allows.
Please note: the deposit is non-refundable and secures your wedding booking for the agreed-upon date(s). If you are considering multiple options, the deposit will be applied to the final confirmed set of dates.
Pending the location, Yes! I do ask that you send an email with as much information and details regarding your destination wedding as you currently have, and we will work together to make a plan!
For the locations listed below, an additional fee of $1500+ is required on top of the regular service rates. This fee includes Travel, Lodging, Food Per Diem, etc.

If your wedding is at a different location than the ones listed above, a custom quote will be factored in.
Unfortunately, I do not provide or rent hair extensions. However, I’m happy to recommend trusted brands and help you find the perfect color match for a seamless blend.
If you’re considering clip-ins or professional extensions, I can guide you on what would best suit your desired style.
If you already have extensions, please let me know in advance to ensure they are suitable to work with.
For larger bridal parties of six or more people a second stylist is required to assist. A second stylist is included with our "Coveted package" (bride + 6 or more). If you have more than 6 guests, you can add additional hair services for up to a total of 11 before the assistance of a third stylist is required.
