Luxury Wedding Hair Services
What to expect from trials & wedding day
Trials are highly recommended before your wedding day to perfect your look, and to ensure that you and your artist are on the same page so that there won't be any surprises! With my professional experience and expertise I can offer suggestions and options that you may not have considered before.
I suggest booking your trial within 3-6 months of the wedding date so that there are no drastic changes in your hair condition, personal tastes, or my techniques which are ever evolving. Trial appointments are generally hosted in studio in St Augustine, FL. I will do my best to accommodate your schedule, but do keep in mind most of my bookings are Fri-Sun, so weekend appointments are extremely limited.
Typically your trial will take 1 - 1.5 hours to complete, if you would like to schedule additional time to try out multiple looks please let me know at the time of booking. Additional fees will be incurred accordingly.
Trials can be arranged for Mother's, Bridesmaid's and any additional bridal party members upon request.
Wedding day!
From the moment your booking is confirmed you won't have to worry about a thing! Sit back while I get to work crafting the perfect timeline for your hair services that will work seamlessly with the rest of your day.
Bridal hair varies, but will typically take 1.5hrs. Hairstyling may occasionally be split into two parts, part 1 consists of a blowdry and/or curl set upon arrival, and part 2 will be putting your final style together.
The remaining bridal party's hair services will take 45mins - 1hr each.
Then you're ready to take the day by storm! Grab a glass of bubbly, get your robe pics with your girls before slipping into the dress of your dreams to wow your groom and guests when you walk down the aisle!

What's the best way to prep my hair?My favorite way to prep hair for best results is almost always a good blowout! If you can't make it happen for one reason or another (I get it, wedding week is CRAZY) just make sure you have it clean, 110% dry and detangled for me. I'll take care of the rest.
-
Curly, coarse or frizz prone hair prep?For best results I suggest smoothing or stretching curls and coils before styling. Make sure you aren't use using oils or anything else that will coat the hair making it heavy or greasy. This will also coat my irons, potentially creating lots of steam and smoke which is never a good sight (or smell...) Generally a bit of leave in conditioner, and a smoothing cream with humidity resistance applied before blow-drying will be sufficient to smooth most hair textures and reduce frizz. Don't worry if you're still a little fuzzy, I take care of handle that. A light gel or styling foam may also be used for additional hold.
-
Straight, fine, or limp hair prep?You'll want to avoid anything that might weigh your hair down. Try blow-drying in a thickening or volumizing mousse for additional body and hold. A bit of smoothing cream can help with any frizz concerns, just use it sparingly.
-
Do I need hair extensions?This will vary from person to person and style to style. Do you NEED strip lashes? Probably not, but they make everything better. I feel the same way about hair extensions. I almost always recommend clip in extensions for creating volume and fullness in my half up styles, and Glam Waves /Hollywood waves will almost always require the use of extensions for perfect fluffy waves that last.
-
Where should I buy my clip ins?For high quality clip in extenstions these are my faves! - Bellami - bellami.com Luxy Hair - luxyhair.com Foxy Locks - foxylocks.com I generally recommend against purchasing amazon extensions such as "goo goo hair" as they tend to thin out quite drastically towards the ends of the hair which defeats the whole purpose of extensions - to add fullness.
-
How long should my extensions be?Here's a great reference for length. Remember you'll lose a bit once everything is curled. I'm always happy to do a quick trim on wedding day!
-
What kind of extensions should I get?I tend to prefer clip in extensions for many reason, but especially their versatility.
