Essential Information for Your Wedding Day Hairstyling

Below are some of the most frequently asked questions. If you have any additional questions or would like to check availability for your wedding date, please fill out the enquiry form or contact me at [email protected]

Is a trial necessary before my wedding?

A trial isn't mandatory but can be very beneficial. While many brides have achieved their perfect wedding hairstyle without a trial, having one allows us to meet in person and tailor your look to perfection. It's an excellent opportunity for us both to ensure your hair will be exactly as you envision on your special day.

How do I schedule a trial?

To arrange a trial, simply reach out to me via email at [email protected]. Trials are conducted in my welcoming home studio in Ballybay, County Monaghan. Please bring any hair accessories you plan to use (I stock accessories too if you are unsure what you want) and a few photos that capture your desired style. You don’t need to bring your veil for the trial.

How should I prepare my hair for the trial and wedding day?

For the best results, I recommend washing your hair twice with a sulphate-free, professional shampoo and conditioning only the mid-lengths and ends. Avoid applying additional products; just blow-dry your hair thoroughly. If you typically use hair treatments, it's best to stop using them at least two weeks before the wedding to ensure your hair isn't overly soft, which helps in maintaining the style.

Do you accommodate hair extensions?

Yes, I specialise in working with hair extensions to add volume, length and staying power. I have experience with various types of extensions, including bonds, tapes and my preferred choice, clip-ins. I’m more than happy to advise you on the best options and assist with any extension needs you may have.

What time will you start on my wedding day?

The start time on your wedding day is customized to fit your schedule. It depends on factors like the ceremony time and the size of your bridal party. I will plan backwards from your ceremony time to ensure you’re ready at least an hour beforehand, giving you ample time to enjoy moments with your family and photographer before the ceremony.
