Hair Trial

It is not compulsory to have a hair trial but is beneficial

We suggest booking your hair trial once you have booked wedding date or at least two months in advance and two months prior to wedding day. Our hair trial appointments are available from Wednesday to Friday. At your trial we do discuss more timing and alternatives to hairstyles for your bridal party.

​

Planning

On a wedding day we will set up at one location. If you have mulitple locations we require to set up there is an extra set up fee. If we have extra administration time required to assist in planning and timing there are costs involved. We can assist in your wedding morning coordination and have many year expereince to provide an extensive planning service on request. We can work with your make-up artist and other vendors to ensure your timing and that you have the morning of your dreams.

​

Our wedding morning timing is ususally booked in at the time of booking and can be found on your invoice. Any changes to this need to be confirmed at the time of booking and any time we have to make extensive changes we may have to apply the above mentioned cost for administration time. This is required only if multiple changes are made at a later date and we are required to act in a wedding planner roll.

​

This will also require payment of 50% payment of your invoice and is non refudnable or transferrable.

​

​

Wedding day schedule

 

Please remember that once hair is finished then your stylist is finished. If you wish for your stylist to wait after completing hair styles it is an extra cost and can be quoted to you if you wish on booking. We do take bookings after weddings so can not guarantee we are able to stay back if requested on the day.

​

We will provide you with a hair start time and approximate finish time to allow for make-up completion, lunch and photos with minimal stress. ALL guests must be present at the allocated start time due to working with different hair types and working to timing with your make-up artist. You can request a different start time for flower girls but it MUST be arranged at booking.

​

Timing for the day is allocated at booking time and can be found on your invoice. You will also recieve a calendar invite from our booking system.

​

Timing is set to ensure that all vendors are not rushing and are at their best as well as you feeling relaxed. If you are more than 15 minutes late for your organised start time a fee will incur for every half hour the stylist is waiting. Fees also apply if stylist is required to wait past completion time.

​

We discuss timing at your trial and we will confirm all details again the  week prior to your special day. Our start times are between 7am and 9am. If you are requesting a start time outside these hours it must be requested on booking.

We will complete all hairstyles and suggest the bride is approximately second last for hair.

​

Please note on a wedding day we do not do touch ups for people that have done their own hair. We do not provide product or loan tools for people that have done their own hair . We can provide a service for another person at the cost outlined in our pricelist and is to be paid on the day. This is only possible if enough time remaining for the party and our other appointments. 

We can not use tools that belong to someone else due to workplace health and safety.

 

 

Veil and Touch ups

​

We will put your veil in or show your bridesmaids how to put in for you. We will also show your bridesmaids how to remove on the day. If you require us to stay back later to put in your veil or for touch ups that is an extra cost and must be booked at time of booking to secure just like a normal appointment.

We do have some great techniques to ensure your veil is supported off the ground while you are finishing getting ready.

​

Your stylist will give you instructions on how to assist in your hair lasting from day to night. If instructions are not followed we can not ensure longevity of your hair. We may not have time to redo hair if it doesn't hold in this case. It may also be at an extra cost. This includes going outside too much especially during windy, rainy or humid weather, touching the hair with hands as oil will effect hair and steaming clothing once hair is done.

​

Honorary Bridesmaid Service

​

If you would like us to stay past our completion time (1.5-2 hours prior to ceremony time or when all styles and touch ups are complete) and until you are dressed this must be requested at the time of booking to book your time and a cost is involved. We ensure all vendors have ample time with you so if we are to stay it is during a period we are not performing services. We can assist with behind the scenes during this period if you wish to book this as an added service.

​

If you have not booked this service once the stylist is complete then they will leave. Our pricing is based on how many people and what services are booked and paid for and we are not booked for an entire day. Timing is set at the time of booking and on your invoice.

​

Cost of this service is quoted on enquiry.

​

​

House Keeping

​

All clothes steaming must be done prior so to ensure hair is not affected by the steam.

​

All people having hair done must shower (if they are wanting a shower) prior to our arrival to ensure hair is not affected and to ensure our timing for the day.

​

If you particularly want photos of hair being done please let us know prior to the day so we can provide a time for the photographer. If we have to stay back for extended periods after completion their may be an extra cost and suggest booking the Honorary Bridemaid Service. We do not wait for photographers unless bridesmaid service is booked.
