When to book your hair and makeup trial

When it comes to planning for your special day, one of the most important things to consider is when to schedule an appointment for hair and makeup. Since these two elements will play an integral part in achieving the desired look you’re going for on your wedding day, it’s important to plan ahead and give yourself the necessary time to look your best.
 Balancing Desired Look and Timeframe
Before going ahead and making an appointment for hair and makeup, it is important to consider both the timeframe in which you will have to get ready, as well as the look you are hoping to achieve. If you’re going for a more elaborate look with your hair, then you will likely need to schedule your appointment a few weeks in advance to ensure that your desired look is achievable in the time available. However, if a more understated style is your preference, then you can usually wait a little longer before scheduling your appointment.
Consultation Before the Appointment
Another key factor to consider when scheduling your hair and makeup appointment is how much of a consultation will be necessary ahead of time. If you are quite certain about what look you are going for, then a consultation is likely not necessary. However, if you have any questions or need some help deciding, then it might be worth scheduling a consultation before you book the full appointment. This will ensure that you are able to get the perfect look that you are hoping for without having to worry about running out of time.
Hair Preparation - Washing, Drying, Styling
 Once an appointment has been made and a consultation completed, the next step is to prepare your hair. This includes washing, drying and styling your hair in the appropriate way so that it is ready to be styled and finished off on the day. Be sure to read up on the instructions given to you by your hairdresser, as the preparations you take before the appointment can play an important role in achieving the desired look for the big day.
Makeup Application - Foundation, Eyeshadow, Blush, Lips
Finally, makeup application can also play a major role in dictating how your look will turn out. Make sure to take into consideration the foundation, eyeshadow, blush, and lip colors you are going for, and plan these out ahead of time with your makeup artist. With the right colors and techniques, you will be sure to look beautiful and radiant on your special day. Knowing when to schedule an appointment for hair and makeup on your wedding day can be a tricky task. With the right balance between desired look and timeframe, as well as a thorough consultation and preparation beforehand, you will be sure to have a stunning look by the time you walk down the aisle.
