Hair Prep for Styling

Hair prep considerations for special event hairstyling appointments at our studio:

  • Dry Styling Only for Events: All bridal party members should plan to arrive with clean, dry hair washed the day prior to ensure the hair is fully dry for styling services → (*unless instructed otherwise for your appointment for any partial blowout service add-on options.)

  • Clarifying Shampoo: Use a clarifying shampoo for a deeper clean prior to your wedding day to remove any excess product build-up for optimal hairstyling results.

  • Conditioning: apply a light-weight conditioner on the ends of your hair during the night before wash, prior to your appointment. For the week leading up to your wedding day, it’s best to avoid heavier hair products such as oils, gels, and hairsprays as clean, dry hair free of products is the easiest to style.

  • General haircare: Plan to keep up with regular trims/cuts and hair color maintenance leading up to the special event.

  • Button-up shirts for easy removal: Wear a shirt that is easy to change out of without disturbing your hairstyle. For brides for trial appointments, we recommend wearing a shirt that is similar in color and neckline to your wedding dress to best envision the hairstyle choice with the dress and overall look.

  • Non-Routine Cut and Color Considerations & Timing: For an overall color change or complete haircut, it’s recommended to schedule 3-6 months prior to the special event. Any hair color touch-ups can be done within one to two weeks prior to the wedding.

  • Adding extensions? Contact us to consult directly with your assigned stylist for advice and information best suited to your desired hairstyle, for length, volume, and color considerations.
