Before Your Appointment

Planning ahead

A short trial and a little hair prep make wedding-day styling hold better and last longer.

Hair Prep

  • Wash your hair the evening before, not the same day — freshly washed hair holds curls and pins less well
  • Skip heavy conditioner or oil treatments right before your appointment
  • Bring any extensions, accessories, veil, or dupatta to your trial

Timing

  • Book a trial 4–6 weeks ahead of your wedding date
  • Allow 60–90 minutes for styling, longer for elaborate updos
  • Confirm your event start time so touch-up timing can be planned

On the Day

  • Bring reference photos and your outfit neckline in mind
  • Have jewelry, veil, or dupatta ready before styling begins
  • Plan your outfit to go on after styling to avoid disturbing your hair
What To Expect

A style that lasts

Styling is planned around your veil, jewelry, and outfit neckline so the finished look holds through ceremony, photos, and dancing. A few extra pins and a light touch-up plan are shared so you can refresh the style later in the day if needed.
