Do I need to book a hair preview?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.
-
When should I schedule my hair preview?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!
-
How close to the wedding day should I have my preview scheduled?I will contact you to book your preview! Some brides prefer to do their preview appointment as soon as possible so they can get started on their wedding to do list; I only book previews within 1-3 months prior to the wedding date. At that point, your hair will be the most similar in length, texture and color as it will be on the wedding day. Plus, you'll change your mind on your hairstyle if it's too far out.
-
Can I have a hair preview before booking?Nope! I don't offer previews prior to booking because you're not trying me out, you're previewing the style you will wear for your wedding day.
-
What should I have at my preview and how should I prep my hair?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!
-
Can I schedule my hair preview the same day as my shower or engagement photos?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??
-
Can my mom or anyone in my party have a hair preview?Hair previews are exclusive to the Bride/Main Client only, however, they are welcome to book a regular service appointment for a night out or special event to see how they like my work. If anyone in your party does have questions about their look, have them contact me and we can talk about their concerns.

Fridays - Minimum of 4 Adults OR Minimum Balance of $1050 Saturdays - Minimum of 5 Adults OR Minimum Balance of $1200 Sundays - Minimum of 4 Adults OR Minimum Balance of $1050
-
How do I secure my date?Complete the contract and retainer payment of $250 and we'll be official!

Can you accomodate large wedding parties?I only book wedding parties up to 8 hairstyles. You're welcome to book a separate company/stylist on your own for any additional styles needed and I'm always happy to send over referrals.

-
Do you make a hair schedule for the morning?Yes! I will take care of all the scheduling for you so you can sit back, relax and enjoy the morning of your wedding. Just let me know your finishing time and I'll take care of the rest. At 2 months out is when I contact my clients to make their wedding day schedule.
-
How long do you schedule each hairstyle?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.
-
What happens if a member of the party misses the appointment time on the schedule causing us to run late?Although I do allow 15 minute grace period...an additional $65/hr will be applied to the contract signees total if the stylist(s) are to stay late. There are no guarantees that we will finish on time with anyone running late/having wet hair/etc. There is no prorated fee.

Do you have recommendations for other vendors? Makeup, Photos, etc?Yes! Throughout wedding season I work with SO many different vendors! Let me know who you need recommendations for and I'll send over their info!
