A calm timeline for wedding-season hair and makeup

The smoothest wedding mornings we see were planned months earlier. Summer Saturdays book out early, trials need a date, and skin care needs time to work before the day rather than the night before.

Here is the countdown we give every bride, and it works just as well for a big birthday or gala.

Your trial is a rehearsal, not an audition. Change anything you like.

  • Six months out: book the date and your trial
  • Three months: start a regular facial rhythm
  • Six weeks: full hair and makeup trial
  • Four weeks: last color appointment
  • One week: brows, lashes and nails
  • The day: skin prep, then makeup, then hair

Send us the timeline from your planner and we build the morning schedule around it, down to the minute. See bridal & event makeup for what the appointment includes.
