Hair & Makeup Timeline

9-12 months

m Decide on your wedding beauty budget. Don’t forget to include any pre-wedding treatments.

m Start a dream board for ideal style.

m Request price lists from local salon.

m Decide if you are want on or off site services.

m Try new styles if you are looking to update your style.

m Work with you dentist to address any concerns you may have.

6-9 months

m Schedule trial hair and make up runs with any salons or artists in the area that offer bridal services.

m If you plan to do your own make up, start playing with different colors, looks and styles.

4-6 months

m Schedule hair and make up appointments for the big day.

m Visit a dermatologist if you have any minor skin issues you want to address before you wedding.

m Test-drive any skin and body treatments to make sure you don’t have a bad reaction. Plan a schedule of services with your aestheticism.

1 month before months

m Get a trim.

m Begin a teeth whitening treatment if desired.

2 weeks

m Touch up your roots if your hair is colored.

m Prepare crystal-clear directions to your wedding site and deliver them to everyone on your beauty team.

m List your contact info and beauty team arrival times.

m Schedule manicures/pedicures for the day before the wedding.

m To save time, prepay for any beauty services scheduled for the day of the wedding. Plan on tipping day-of.

1 week

m Confirm all beauty appointments.

m Get brows, bikini line, etc. waxed. m Arrange to have a bridesmaid bring any hairpieces or accessories to the wedding site so you don’t have to worry about keeping track of them on the big day.

m Start packing a bag with everything you will need for the wedding day.

m Get your final facial and/or body treatments to ensure maximum glow for your wedding.

m Wax, thread or derma plane your facial hair. The baby hairs on your face are very noticeable in photos. (Your hair will NOT grow in thicker or darker.)

1 - 2 days

m Apply self tanner (if you are using it), or go in for a professional application at a salon.

m Go in for a manicure and pedicure. Its a good idea to bring your own colors so you can touch up any last minute chips on the spot.

m Wash your hair for the last time before your wedding. Daydirty hair holds a style much better than the freshly washed hair.

m Do a deep-conditioning hair treatment approved by your stylist.

m Apply an at home brightening face mask approved by your aestheticism. Be certain it won’t cause an adverse reaction.

The Wedding Day

m Shower four to five hours before your call time with a tight shower cap on to protect your hair. Confirm arrival times with vendors and wedding party.

m Have your makeup applied (or start applying it) 3 hours before the ceremony.

m Get your hair styled 1-2 hours before call time so it doesn’t fall before the ceremony & pictures.

m Don’t forget to moisturize your hands and double check your manicure. All eyes are on your new ring!

m Take your touch up essentials with you when you head to the ceremony.

m Spritz perfume just as you’re leaving so you’ll still have it on as you walk down the aisle.
