All the elements of and preparations for your wedding day must come together seamlessly so that your dream wedding experience can become a reality. Bridal hairstyling is one such pivotal planning aspect to consider. Finding a professional hair stylist for the big day revolves around more than merely selecting someone who’s experienced and skilled at their craft. The ultimate goal is to choose an artist who’s just right for you—someone who’s fully dedicated to working their magic to achieve the exact look you want. Ponder the following important questions to ask your wedding hair stylist to ensure the perfect fit.
What’s Your Booking Rate?
Booking rates—and availability—are always the leading questions to begin with. Each bride has her own desired budget, and each hair stylist prices their services differently. Before signing a contract, get a clear understanding of the offered package or rate and what exact services are included with the pricing.
What’s Included in Your Hair Services?
Not every stylist provides the same supplies and services. Brides who already have a good idea of what they would like should bring up this inquiry right away. Many experienced artists can accommodate requests to achieve a desired look, but it may come at an extra cost. Keep this in mind for more intricate styles with hair extensions or accessories.
Can You Work On Location?
Travel considerations are also important questions to ask your wedding hair stylist. Be sure to inquire if you and your party must go to the salon or if the artist can come to your venue the day of. This convenience may result in additional travel expenses.
Do You Offer Trials?
A hair trials is your best opportunity to determine what style or inspiration you most prefer. Stylists who offer trial runs can help undecided brides find the perfect exclusive looks for their big days.
Can You Accommodate My Entire Party?
If the members of your bridal party are also getting their hair styled, confirming that a team of stylists is available is essential. Ensure there are enough artists to accommodate everyone—and a diversity of hair textures—and allow plenty of prep time for everyone to get aisle ready.
Can I See a Portfolio of Your Work?
Seeing references of past work is key to getting a good feel for a hair stylist’s approach and abilities. Glancing through a portfolio with former clients can provide clear insight into how well a stylist can work with your personal preferences, wedding aesthetic, or hair type. A past client may even inspire a new ’do for your upcoming “I do.”
