Booking Your Trial

So you found your beauty team for your wedding, woot woot! Before you fully check that box off, make sure that artist's style of work aligns with your vision.

If you're slightly hesitant about booking them:

Check reviews, connect with past clients, and explore their social media! If their posts are lacking, ask for photos or schedule casual appointment, like a blowout or date night makeup This way, you can meet the artist and preview their work firsthand before booking your trial closer to the wedding. Or see if you can book a trial before signing a contract.

If you're 100% ready to book/already booked them:

Yay! No better feeling than crossing off a vendor from the "need to book" list. On average our clients book their trials 4 months before their wedding. Read the following tips so you can decide when you should book your trial.

Timing is everything: I recommend booking your trial no more than 6 months before your big day. Booking it too early can sometimes lead to wanting a second trial (hello, shifting trends and changing minds—it happens!). That said… you do you! If you’re ready to book now, we're all in!
Dress first, trial second: Doing your trial on dress shopping day sounds like a good idea, but I actually recommend waiting until you’ve found your dress. This will helps us create a beauty look that ties everything together beautifully.
Plan for plans: If you can schedule your trial on a day you’ve got something going on (think dress fitting, engagement shoot, bridal shower, dinner with friends, etc.), even better! You’ll get to see how your look lasts, photographs, and maybe even collect some compliments along the way
Bring the right energy: Trials are meant to be fun and exciting—not stressful! Sometimes having too many opinions in the room can feel overwhelming. If you’d like to bring someone along, just make sure it’s someone who truly supports your vision and vibe.
Extra Beauty: Thinking about lash extensions, spray tan, or hair extensions for your wedding day? If you can, have them done for the trial too! This will help to get the full effect. But if it's not in the budget, you're short on time—we'll still make the magic happen! Side note: We offer extension rentals starting at $90. Inquire for more info.

When you're ready to book, contact your artist. Even if you're looking to book 4 months from now. Better to get it in their calendar sooner rather than later. Be sure to share the following:

Photos of you/your hair currently
Wedding outfit(s)
Hair inspiration
Makeup inspiration
Hair accessories/veil

If you're booking with me, here's my availability calendar. Please send over dates that work for you. Have your ideal dates on top, plus the location you prefer. As far as trial location goes, I can either travel to you or you're more than welcome to come to my apartment in East Northport, NY. There may be a travel fee, depending on the location.

Not the bride?

We do trials for moms and bridesmaids all the time! We want you to rock that look with confidence on the big day. If you know you're particular, we highly recommend booking a trial. Especially if the same person has been doing your hair for forever. This will avoid any last-minute stress, wasted time, or even pretending to like your hair or makeup. Your comfort and confidence matter too!
