Can I schedule a bridal preview/trial? 

Can I schedule a bridal preview/trial? 

Bridal previews are reserved for brides who have officially secured their wedding date with a signed agreement and deposit. Once your date is confirmed, we can move forward with scheduling your preview appointment.

If you’re interested in experiencing my work beforehand, you are welcome to book a separate glam appointment. Please note that wedding dates are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis, and availability cannot be guaranteed until your date is officially secured.

do you offer or work with extensions? 

do you offer or work with extensions? 

Yes, I highly recommend clip-in extensions for most down and half up styles, especially glam waves, as they add the length and fullness needed and help the style hold beautifully all day.

You’re welcome to bring your own extensions, as long as they are 100% human hair, clip-in, heat-safe, freshly washed, and fully blow-dried. Extension installation and styling are included for brides, but if you would like to add extensions for party members or standard event styles, this would fall under my Premium Event Styling pricing. You must let me know in advance so I can schedule time for it. I can also work with pre-sewn extensions, such as tape-ins or wefts already applied to your hair.

I also offer rental ($250) and purchase (starting at $375+) options, which include prep, installation, and styling for both your preview and wedding day. With my sets, I handle color matching, length selection, and prep so everything blends seamlessly and photographs perfectly.

can you work with all skin types/texture/colors?

Yes! I work with all skin types, tones, and textures—whether your skin is mature, textured, sensitive, or anything in between. Whatever look you’re hoping for, I’ve got you covered and can tailor the style to your unique features and preferences. Please let me know in advance about any allergies so I can make any necessary adjustments.

When are you available for previews? 

When are you available for previews? 

I am available for bridal previews in the salon studio on Wednesdays, and Thursdays. I’m out for weddings and events on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I recommend scheduling your preview 3–6 weeks before your wedding so your hair, skin, and makeup will be as close to your wedding day look as possible.

do you have prep instructions? 

do you have prep instructions? 

Hair Prep: Forget the myth about “dirty hair” being better—freshly washed hair is essential! Please arrive with 100% freshly washed (the night before or morning of) and fully blow-dried hair. Any leftover moisture or product buildup can prevent your style from holding properly. I use the perfect combination of styling products for each hair type, so clean hair ensures the best results and longevity. Detailed prep instructions are sent to each client after booking.

Makeup Prep: Arrive with a freshly washed and exfoliated face, including your lips—yes, that means scrubbing your lips! You can follow your regular morning skincare routine, but be sure to moisturize before arrival. Makeup applies best to a well-prepped canvas; dry or porous skin can lead to cakey results, and there’s only so much that can be corrected on the day.
