Hair trials/previews why bother?

Preparing for your bridal hair trial preview is more than just arriving with clean, fresh hair. It's about ensuring you and your stylist can create the most beautiful version of yourself for your special day.


Here are some essential tips to help you make the most of your hair trial/preview


1. Practice at Home

Before your appointment , spend some time experimenting with different hairstyles at home. This can help you discover what styles you like and how comfortable you feel with them. If you're trying on your dress, bring a claw clip or hairband to see whether your dress suits your hair down, up, or in a bun. This will help you visualise your overall look.


2. Reflect on Your Everyday Style

Consider how you wear your hair every day. Some brides want a completely different look for their wedding, while others prefer a polished version of their usual style. Start collecting images of hairstyles you love, especially those with hair colors similar to yours, to give you an idea of how they might work for you.


3. Gather Inspiration

Collect a few images that showcase hairstyles you adore and save them for your stylist. Think about moments when you felt and looked your best. Did you attend a wedding or party where you loved your hair and makeup? Save these images to show your stylist, as they can help visualise how you like to see yourself.


4. Share Your Vision

I always ask my brides to save their hair ideas along with images of themselves and their dress. This helps me understand how your desired look can come together. When you have a clear picture of your vision, your stylist can work with you to create a refined, polished version of the style you love and offer guidance to enhance it.


5. Be Open and Communicative

During your appointment , communicate openly with your stylist. Share your likes, dislikes, and any concerns you might have. Your stylist is there to help you achieve your dream look, and your feedback is invaluable in making that happen.


Preparing for your bridal hair trial preview is an essential step in your wedding planning journey. By taking these steps, you ensure that when you look in the mirror on your special day, you'll see the most beautiful version of yourself.
