Booking a bridal makeup and hair trial is an essential step to ensure you achieve your dream wedding day look. This dedicated session allows us to explore different makeup styles and hairstyles, tailor them to your features, and address any concerns before the big day.

The trial typically lasts upto 3 hours, giving us enough time to try out various looks, shades and techniques until we find what truly suits you. We’ll also discuss your wedding theme, dress, accessories and personal style to design a cohesive bridal beauty look that makes you feel confident and radiant.

We recommend booking your trial 4–8 weeks before your wedding day, particularly if you're planning to use a fake tan or if your final bridal accessories and gown are ready. This timeframe ensures we can match your bridal makeup and hair to your completed look and accommodate seasonal skin changes (e.g.,skin can be drier in winter, than in summer).

Yes, absolutely. I have extensive experience working with brides with a wide range of skin concerns including rosacea, acne, hyperpigmentation, eczema, mature and sensitive skin. In my bridal kit, I include corrective and soothing products specially selected for skin concerns like rosacea, acne, and pigmentation—ensuring flawless coverage, long wear, and comfortable wear throughout your wedding day. Your skin’s health and confidence are my top priorities.

For bridal parties of the bride plus two or more, it’s highly recommended to book separate bridal makeup artist and hairstylist. This ensures every member of the party receives focused attention and their look is created efficiently, without compromising on quality.

If only one artist is booked for a larger group, an assistant may be required (additional fee applies) to maintain timing and the high standard of service expected on a wedding day.

For solo brides or smaller bridal parties, booking one bridal stylist who offers both makeup and hair services can be a more cost-effective.
