Your finishing time should be early enough to give you and your guests enough time to get dressed and for any traveling.

Should I wash my hair that morning?
- We recommend washing the night before if there isn't enough time to wash it that morning. You know your own hair and how it styles best. All guests must have their hair completely dry and ready to be styled. Avoid flat ironing the ends of your hair before getting it curled. Its okay to smooth the root. Remember to wear a button up or easy shirt to remove.
What if I have naturally curly hair?
- You should have your hair blown out the night prior if you would like a curling iron curl. Otherwise we will create your style using your natural curl. (We will not have time to blow out your hair straight and then style it that morning. if someone requests this there is an additional charge and we need to know in advance to arrange our time accordingly.)
Does the bride get her services last or first?
- The bride is done in the middle. All guests must arrive at the start time, to ensure we are done accordingly. We will begin with 2 guests and continue to grab as we go. No schedule is needed.

If you request more time for your trial it's an additional $50 each half hour. Please arrive 5 minutes early to your appointment. Plan accordingly for traffic. i book appointments all day and will not be able to accommodate late arrivals past 20 minutes.
What should I expect during the trial?
- We will try 1 or 2 different hair looks and a makeup look. Together we will discuss the look you are going for to create the perfect style for you. We will take pictures of everything so you can refer back to them. Bring photos of looks you like and any hair pieces. We also have combs and hair pieces for you to get some ideas. Try to find photos that are the same hair color as yours. it also helps to wear a white shirt.
When do I schedule my trial?
