6 tips to get the
most out of your
wedding hairstyle
trial run.
|
|
Enjoy
some trial run photos of some of my real brides.
Take
plenty of photos from all directions!
|
|
I gave this bride two options, one was up.
|
1.
Have your gown picked out and as many details
such as wedding colors and venue secured. These choices
help the stylist to "get" you and your style. |
 |
2. As
soon as you have these things figured out, book a consultation
or trial run. I used to offer a free 15 minute consultation
to get to know my bride and take some notes. If you
have more questions than ideas ask if this is possible.
|
|
The second choice was down
|
3. Arm
yourself with what the design world calls "tear
sheets" Rip out as many hairstyles as you can find.
Look in hairstyling magazines as well as bridal magazines
and tear out the pages. Put these in a folder and keep
them with your bridal stuff. On the web, surf wedding
photographer sites to see real brides and copy images
into a word document. This way you can make a collage
of images and they will be all in one place. Print this
out and add it to your tear sheets.

4. Book
your trial run and if you don't know what your headpiece
will be don't worry. Make sure to read my article titled
"Are you a hair bride or a veil bride?"
A trail run will help you decide what headpiece to look
for to go with the hairstyle you like. Or if you do
have your headpiece bring it to the trial run.

5. Bring
a friend or relative you like and trust for their honest
opinion. Make sure to have a camera. Hopefully the stylist
will be willing to do a couple of ideas. A trial is
not usually wedding day ready hair. It is a guide and
a test. It is also as much for the stylist as it is
for you. She needs to get used to your hair and will
know what is possible or what she is capable of. If
you don't feel a connection, feel understood or are
confidant, try another stylist. Don't get an attitude
especially if you need to try someone else in the salon.
If the stylist has an attitude then she is not confidante
or professional enough to handle any bride.

and with out.
|
6. Once
all is said and done and you are happy, make sure to
book your date. If your date is a while off like 6months
or more, call back the salon at least once a couple
of months or weeks before to make sure your appointment
is secured. Also confirm that your stylist is still
there and is on the books as well. If something comes
up, at least you will have your photos (get them off
your camera!) and print them out for the wedding morning.
|
|
Close-ups are important for the stylist to remember.
|
Relax and enjoy
your day.
The best advice
I have is to pick up my book

Morning of Your Wedding
Have full confidence
that your morning will be a
wonderful transition
into a wonderful day!
Best wishes,
