Tips for Booking Hair and Makeup


Working for an onsite hair and makeup service business, we run into many things that you, as a bride, aren’t aware of when booking your wedding day services that could greatly help you as you plan! So, we thought it might be quite useful to talk about 5 tips regarding this part of wedding planning.

1.    Wedding planning is stressful as we know it! So, it will benefit you greatly to be organized and on top of things, so that as the big day approaches, everything runs smoothly. In this regard, booking hair and makeup services at least 6 months out will be ideal. Essentially, this gives enough time for your wedding party needs to be fully covered. The more time the hair and makeup team have, the better they can accommodate you. 

2.    When scheduling a trial run for hair and makeup, it’s best to plan for 3-6 weeks before the wedding date. If you schedule too early, you might find something different and decide you would like a different look – which results in scheduling another trial run, and more cost to the you. 3-6 weeks is the perfect time frame for you to be completely sure that the looks you chose are the ones you feel most beautiful with!

3.    Researching pictures and bringing them to trial runs are an excellent way to clearly communicate your vision for your wedding day.  At unBridaled Beauty, we actually require you to print out pictures of hair and makeup that you like. Doing so, helps the artist see a clearer vision of what you desire, so you are more than pleased with the results. There are tons of styles – we get all types of different hair and makeup photos!

4.    Keeping the Bridal Coordinator of the company you have booked with informed and up to date on the progress of your wedding services and what you will need, avoids additional stress and worry. By keeping in contact with the beauty team, there will be ample time for rearrangements if need be and you won’t need to worry knowing that you’ll be ready to roll on your big day!

5.    If you have a large wedding party, it is normal to have an early start time to the hair and makeup process. Any hair and makeup team you work with should have your best interests as their first priority and at unBridaled Beauty, we will make sure that there is plenty of time for everyone to be picture perfect!
