HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO STYLE THE HAIR ON THE DAY?
Bridal hair is approximately one hour but may be longer or shorter depending on the chosen style. The Hollywood wave can be a time consuming style to create, taking anywhere from up to 2 hours, But it is so worth every minute! My Luscious Romance package is the ideal match for this style.
Other wedding party guests (e.g bridesmaids, mother of the bride/groom) take approximately 40 - 45 mins and flower girls approximately 30 mins. A wedding morning timeline will be given to you upon booking and then confirmed after your trial run.

Trials
WHEN SHOULD I WAS MY HAIR BEFORE THE TRIAL?
On the day of your trial. It is best to have freshly washed and dry hair. This can be either in the morning ( if your hair is particularly oily or heavily loaded with product) or the night before. Advise on hair care and washing can be given at your trial when I have fully assessed your hair type.
WHEN SHOULD I HAVE MY HAIR TRIAL?
There is no set time frame, however I would suggest no earlier than
3-6 months before the wedding. Around this time most of the important details will have been chosen, especially the dress and you will have a clear idea of how you would like to look.
HOW LONG WILL MY TRIAL TAKE?
Depending on which package is selected trials last from anywhere from 2 - 3.5 hours for your trial.This will give us enough time to try a few styles out. If you're torn between up or down we can try both, style it down first then pop it up after. I will always take photos during your trial as this will help you to see what your hair looks like at all angles and to compare both styles if you are still undecided.
CAN MY BRIDAL PARTY HAVE A TRIAL RUN ALSO?
Yes, If anyone in your bridal party would like to have a trial then please contact me and this can be arranged.
WHERE DOES THE TRAIL TAKE PLACE?
Trials take place at my professional bridal home salon just outside of Ely during the day on weekdays only.
I THINK I MAY NEED HAIR EXTENSIONS FOR MY HAIR STYLE. DO I NEED THESE BEFORE MY TRIAL?
Not necessarily, I have a small selection of clip in hair extensions that we can try out in your hair at your trial. If you are unsure if you need them or not, I can help you with how to purchase the correct type for your hair style I even offer a colour matching service and can order them for you. If needed. Alternatively if you already have clip in hair extensions or currently wear extensions then I am able to work with these as well.
DO I NEED TO HAVE MY VEIL AND HAIR ACCESSORIES FOR THE TRIAL RUN?
If you have already purchased your hair accessories then please bring these along with you and we will incorporate them into your style. If you have not yet chosen to have any and you’d like to try some out I do have a small selection of hair accessories and veils available to try at the time of your trial.
On The Wedding Day
WHEN WILL YOU ARRIVE?
I will always aim to arrive early wherever possible. I will allow 15 mins to set up before we get started. This will all be mapped out for you in your timeline after your trial.
WHAT IF I CHANGE MY MIND ON MY STYLE ON THE DAY?
Don’t worry this has happened lots of times. As we will have already met at your trial I will have a pretty good understanding of your hair and what it can do so we can always work on a new style on the day if you change your mind at the last minute.
WILL YOU STAY UNTIL I'M COMPLETELY READY AND IN MY DRESS?
Yes, by selecting my luscious romance package I will stay right up until you are ready to walk down the aisle for any last minute adjustments.
I can even be on hand for further touch ups during your all important wedding photos and stay until after the wedding breakfast with my Lavish Luxury package.
If you have any other questions please feel free to email me.
