Trials & Preparations

Whether it be for your wedding day, or another occasion, you may want to schedule an appointment prior to your event day to practice some different looks. Many clients feel more comfortable having some one-on-one time to discuss and brainstorm a plan for the day of. You can expect to spend about 1-1.5 hours with your artists during your trial, and finish feeling happy and confident! We are happy meet with you any time, however we suggest scheduling a trial appointment 1-3 months before your event date if possible. 

Due to the nature of our business servicing events most weekends, we have limited availability to schedule trial appointments during these times. Typically, we leave open one weekend every month (or more when able!) to book trial appointments. We also try our best to accommodate clients that may need a weekday or late evening appointment. Please keep this in mind when inquiring and if possible, provide us with your general availability so that we can work with you as soon as possible!  

Be sure to have hair CLEAN & 100 % DRY for your appointment (unless receiving a blow out). If your hair is frizzy or naturally curly  - avoid the flat iron as this can prevent the style from holding. A blow out is fine if you are concerned with smoothing beforehand. We are prepared with an arsenal of products that may be needed to work with your hair type and style!

Your skin should be cleansed and free of any makeup. Moisturizer is fine! We also suggest bringing a lip color you have in mind, we always supply all makeup products however you may want to use something that you can continue to touch up! Please share with us any allergies or concerns you may have prior so that we can accomodate. 

Bringing inspiration photos are a plus! Whether it be your Pintrest board stocked with your most loved looks, or examples of what you don’t want on the big day, this helps us pull everything together. Hairpieces, veil, or other accessories are also suggested to have with you. 

We suggest booking your tanning session 2 days before your event. Remember that you cannot get wet for several hours after your session, so plan ahead!

1-2 WEEKS BEFORE YOUR TAN

- Drink lots of water! Staying hydrated from the inside is the foundation for healthy skin and key for a long lasting tan

- Use a spray tan friendly moisturizer 1-2x a day. The more you moisturize, the better!
