Frequently asked Questions
How far in advance should I book my wedding hairstylist?
Weddings can be booked up to a year in advance, and no later than 3 months to ensure your date. However, if you are in a pinch, let me know and I will do my best to accommodate.
How far in advance should I book my trial?
Trials are not mandatory nor are they essential. It is solely up to you to decide if you would like a trial run. If you choose to do a trial, they can be booked anytime prior to your big day. I recommend booking your trial on a special day, so that you can show off your beautiful look. Many brides will book it on the day of their bridal shower, engagement shoot or bachelorette party.
How should I prep my hair for my trial and wedding day?
Everyone's hair should be clean and completely dry (washed the night before or morning of if possible) in order to have the hair set properly. If you have an oily scalp, it is advisable that you wash your hair the day of to ensure a long-lasting style. Please make sure all hair is completely dry prior to your service.
What should I bring to the trial?
Please bring your veil and headpiece if you have purchased it. If not, I do have some accessories for you to try on with your style. I recommend bringing in photos of hair ideas for the wedding day.
What if I have short hair and I want it to look long for my wedding day. What can I do?
I recommend purchasing clip-in extensions to best achieve your desired look. If you are unsure, that’s ok, I can discuss options with you at your trial and make some recommendations. If you did not opt for a trial, we can still discuss options at any point leading up to the big day.
Do you offer onsite services?
Yes! I am a freelance hair stylist that strictly specializes in doing onsite services all over the Buffalo, Niagara, Rochester area and beyond. The trial run can also be done in the comfort of the bride’s home, for an additional charge depending on location.
Is a deposit required to book my wedding?
Yes, a non-refundable deposit is required to secure your date. That amount is based on the size of the bridal party and will come off the total owing the day of.
How long will my hair take on the big day?
I typically spend a total of a little over an hour on the bride for hair. Bridesmaids will take about 30-45 minutes each, unless someone has abnormally long or thick hair. I prefer to do the bride last, or second to last so that she is the most fresh and camera ready.
Why is there a travel fee?
There is a travel fee for all onsite services. This fee covers gas, tolls, drive time and is based on location. Travel fees typically range from $25-$120.
