PREPARATION
Preparation is key when leading up to your wedding, we would always recommend starting your hair journey six months in advance to ensure the colour and condition is at its ultimate, so creating your routine in advance is highly advisable. Regular haircuts, conditioning treatments and finishing with the ultimate home hair care products will ensure you exude confidence on your special day! Alongside your hair, we can provide the highest level of skin and body treatments in tandem with your appointments, so you can have all your needs met within one space, whether you require high grade facials, mesotherapy and micro needling, or massages, pedicures and reflexology.
Our wedding hair expert Michaela Galvin shares her top 4 wedding preparation tips
'My goal is to make sure my clients feel fabulous leading up to and on their special day. Healthy hair is a journey and I suggest following these 4 simple tips to ensure your hair is looking the best it ever has.
Scheduling regular hair cuts with your stylist is the key to maintaining healthy hair. It can prevent damage, encourage hair growth and improve the appearance and texture of your hair.
Adding a conditioning treatment to your salon visits is a fabulous way to nourish your hair. We offer a excellent range of premium in-salon treatments including Kerastase, Olaplex and Oway. My favourite is the Kerastase Fusio-dose treatment, a bespoke service which targets two unique concerns at the same time. This service is a hydrating boost for your hair and is instant so time is not a factor.
If you have chosen a destination wedding, summer wedding or simply want to eliminate fizz then a keratin treatment will be your best friend. This service is designed to hydrate, tame and manage unruly hair, it is a lifesaver in challenging weather conditions.
Investing in your home hair care routine is an important after care step for maintaining healthy hair in-between visits. My 'go to' range is the Blond Absolu collection by Kerastase. This range is designed for lightened hair and packed with Hyaluronic acid for nourishment and Edelweiss Flowers Extract to illuminate hair.
HAIR TRIAL
We recommend booking an appointment for a wedding trial two to three months prior to your wedding day, this is an opportunity to discuss your options with your stylist as well as your timings. It gives you a chance to express any concerns you may have and decide which hairstyle will make you look and feel your best on your wedding day. During this appointment, the stylist will address different elements of your wedding to include the dress, jewellery, hair accessories, venue, and theme and to execute your vision and be able to perfectly finesse your look.
Wedding trials in the salon last between one and a half to two hours with prices starting from £250.
Our wedding hair expert Frankie Moody shares her top 4 bridal hair trial tips
I always feel so honoured and thrilled to be part of my clients' special day, my goal is to make sure you feel confident and comfortable during your bridal trial.
I recommend to arrive with clean washed hair, washing your hair the night before creates the perfect canvas for us to achieve volume for hair ups or alternative styles as the hair isn't too soft.
At your appointment choose to wear a white top or dress with a similar neckline to your wedding dress, this will help you to visualize how you will look and feel on the day.
At the trial wear a similar style of makeup to how you are planning to look on the special day or alternatively book your makeup trial before your hair trial.
Bring some inspirational photos with you to your appointment, knowing what you do like and do not like will help your stylist to understand your vision and bring it to life.
MAKE-UP TRIAL
Our supreme team of makeup artists are on hand to help you achieve your desired look, whether it is bold, glamorous, natural or understated.
Makeup trials in the salon last between one to one and a half hours with prices starting from £250.
