Congratulations! You booked your wedding hair and makeup trial. You are now one step further to fulfilling the bridal beauty look of your dreams. But, not so fast. Here are some tips to be sure your trial goes smoothly and what to expect once you get there.
For some, it is tricky to figure out the exact desired look for the wedding day. We suggest creating an inspiration board on Pinterest of hair and makeup looks that best align with your vision, and be prepared to share them with your artist during the trial. Inspiration photos are helpful for your artist in understanding your taste, however, it is important to arrive with an open mind. For example, all those boho braided looks on Pinterest… well, they style a bit differently between brown hair and two-toned blonde hair. Your stylist will use all these photos to bring one cohesive vision to life.
Pro tip: Bring along photos of what you don’t like, too! Your definition of a “smoky eye” might be much different from the makeup artist’s definition!

Your hair and/or makeup artist will ask various questions through out the trial to ensure you receive the desired look. Communication is key, so it is helpful to decide what about the inspiration photos you like best: eyeshadow shades, blush color, the contour, the skin’s texture, etc.
Don’t worry though, the trial works both ways! Feel free to let your stylist know what to stay away from too. There is no pressure to wait until the look is finished to ask questions about the look.

Don’t forget to bring your veil, hair accessories or other headpieces that should be incorporated into your wedding day look. If you plan to wear extensions on your wedding day, you should bring them to the trial as well.
At Bridal4TheWin, our goal is for every bride to feel beautiful and confident on her very special day. If you are unhappy with your assigned artist, we will provide a complimentary trial with a different artist.
Please note we will hold your artist for 2 weeks. A retainer fee is required to lock them down for your wedding date.
