Bridal Makeup and Hair Trial


Makeup and Hair are important items on many Brides' to-do lists. Most of my clients start looking into Bridal Makeup and Hair service around a year prior to their Wedding dates. Even though there are many Makeup Artists in Vancouver, it might take a bit of time or work to find a good and experienced one who offers a style that suits you, and is available for your Wedding.

During the process of searching, some
Brides will choose to arrange Trial sessions on Makeup and Hair in order to assist them in deciding which artist to use. On the other hand, I have worked with many Brides who happened to know my previous clients, or are really fond of my portfolio, that they do not need to try out the Makeup and Hair prior to confirmation of their bookings. Some of these clients will do their Trials closer to their Weddings, so that the skin tone and the length or volume of the hair is closer to the final look. By that time, they might even have their veils, and all the hair accessories and Bridal jewellery ready.

I have also assisted a number of
Brides who do not require a Trial at all, and we've never had a problem. However, if you are concerned, a Trial is still highly recommended for your peace of mind.

Whether a
Makeup and Hair Trial is done or not, the most important thing is that you and your Makeup Artist have good communication about your expectation on your Bridal look. Your Wedding day is your day, so the style must be one that you are happy with, and it's your Makeup Artist's job to help you achieve that style. Over the many years that I've worked as a Bridal Makeup Artist and Hairstylist, I have come across preferences that range from minimalistic to dramatic. I cannot assume or impose. I always discuss with my clients extensively to ensure that they are entirely comfortable with the final Bridal image for their Wedding days.
