SHOULD I book a HAIR AND MAKEUP trial?

That's up to you! Hair and makeup trials are a great way to try out a look before the big day, get to know each other, and chat about the styles you love! 

We have a large number of brides who book without a hair and makeup trial typically due to living out of the state/country, in which we would allot more time the day of to chat about your desired look. Just be sure to send over photos for inspiration.

We recommend Remedy Hair clip-in extensions. We can color match you directly during your trial, or you can send us a few photos to color match beforehand. Extensions can not be returned once they are placed in your hair for hygienic purposes.
