Bridal Trial

For hair, the stylist can test shape, parting, texture, hold, pins, extensions, veil placement, and other accessories. For makeup, the artist can review coverage, finish, colour balance, lashes, comfort, and how the result looks in different light. The appointment should also clarify how long the service takes.

Photographs from the front, side, and back help document the result. Ask who will keep the notes and whether the person doing the trial is also booked for the wedding date.

Bring a small, edited set of reference images and explain what you like in each one. Include a photo of the outfit neckline and bring any veil, headpiece, jewellery, or hair accessory that may affect placement. Arrive with hair and skin prepared as the artist requests.

Tell the provider about sensitivities, accessibility needs, contact lenses, hair extensions, recent colour plans, and any product you must or must not use. Do not introduce an untested cosmetic solely for the trial without discussing it first.

Record the chosen look, requested changes, service order, arrival time, location, travel fees, party size, deposits, and cancellation terms. Confirm whether touch-up products, veil changes, or a second style are included.

If the trial shows that a haircut, colour appointment, brow service, or skin-care change is needed, leave enough time for a separate consultation. Avoid making major last-minute changes based only on how a style looked on someone with different hair or features.
