Unlocking the Mysteries of Your Wedding Day Hair & Makeup
Shhh! We have some secrets to share with you!
No matter how meticulously you plan your wedding, there are always variables you can’t control. Here’s our expert advice to help you stay ahead of common bridal beauty pitfalls, ensuring you look stunning on your big day.
Plan Ample Time for Hair and Makeup
Your makeup artist and hair stylist are the first vendors you’ll see on your wedding day. Their timing sets the pace for everything! Getting your hair and makeup done on time is crucial—otherwise, you might find yourself rushing through the rest of your schedule.
Weddings often start early, and it’s easy to lose track of time while celebrating with your bridal party. There are selfies to snap, champagne to toast, and precious single-girl moments to savor. Hiring a professional beauty team will help you stay on track!
Stay Relaxed on Your Wedding Day
Your wedding day should be all about relaxation and excitement as you prepare to glam up. Give your bridal party some guidelines but don’t hand over too much control. Trust your stylist to manage the schedule and ensure everyone gets their turn in the chair seamlessly. They will coordinate closely with your photographer to make sure you’re ready for those important photos.
Book Your Beauty Team Early
Once you’ve established your ceremony time and arranged your first look with your photographer, book your hair stylist and makeup artist immediately. Early booking allows us to create a timeline that ensures nobody feels stressed or rushed, giving everyone plenty of time to look their best and arrive punctually.
Account for the Weather
The desert weather can be unpredictable, especially during monsoon season. If your hair is prone to frizz in humidity, pack a frizz-fighting serum and inform your stylist in advance. This preparation ensures your locks remain flawless throughout the day.
And let’s not forget about the desert winds. While less of an issue if you’re indoors, outdoor ceremonies in Southern Nevada can encounter unexpected gusts. Our advice? Go with the flow—we’re prepared for any breezy surprises.
Guaranteed Perfection
Unlike many other agencies, we guarantee our work. Everyone who sits in our chair can expect 15-hour water and transfer-resistant makeup and hairstyles that withstand the desert winds.
Dress Smart
Those cute robes and button-down jammies aren’t just for adorable photo ops—they’re functional too. Choosing attire that doesn’t go over your head is essential when getting your hair and makeup done. This prevents any mishaps and keeps your look intact.
Additionally, these garments catch stray makeup dust, hairspray, and protect your formal wear from any food or drink accidents in the bridal suite.
Speak Up!
While it’s not polite to go full “Karen” on your stylist or artist, please don’t hesitate to speak up if something isn’t to your liking. Ideally, brides will have gone through a hair and makeup trial to work out the details beforehand. However, your bridal party might not have had this chance. We want everyone to feel and look their best, so we welcome feedback to make any necessary adjustments.
Tipping Etiquette
Tipping your wedding hair stylist and makeup artist is similar to tipping your favorite nail tech or salon staff. Here’s a quick guide:
- How much? 15-25% is standard.
- When? Hand an envelope at the end of all services.
- Budget for it: Make sure to include tips in your wedding budget.
While gratuity is never expected, it’s always appreciated. For more insights on tipping your other wedding pros, click here for our complete guide.
