The big day:

prepare for a good hair day

By Autumn Hunter Owner, Grand Illusion Salon

Your wedding day is important. You don’t want to worry about your hair. In order to have a relaxed and fun morning at the salon on the big day, here is a timeline to ensure that you are completely prepared.

One year ahead: save the date

Brides-to-be should not put off booking their wedding-day hair appointments, especially if they have a stylist preference. Most regular clients book six to eight weeks in advance, so bridal clients should secure their specific days and times well in advance.

Three months ahead: setting expectations

Schedule a bridal hair and make-up trial. It’s important to bring inspiration photos and an image of your gown and veil. Stylists need to get a full picture to achieve the entire look. This is the time to discuss hair extensions or other pieces that may be needed to achieve your desired hair design.

Six to eight weeks ahead: purchase necessities … like accessories

Floral accents and romantic hair accessories are the perfect way to add a little something extra to an up-style. This is also a great time to do a final trial. I encourage you to try on your gown with your up-style to ensure your approval.

Two weeks ahead: freshen up

I suggest that brides-to-be schedule a fresh cut and color and any planned hair extensions two week before their wedding day.

Wedding Day

Today is the day! Arrive at the salon with your hair freshly shampooed and dry. Freshly cleansed hair is much easier for the stylist to curl, pin and manipulate.

If you follow all of these great tips, you can sit back and enjoy your wedding day at the salon!
