Pre-Wedding Beauty Checklist

3 to 4 Months Before Your Wedding

Schedule Your Complimentary Consultation: Talk through your hair, makeup, and spa needs. Your bridal consultant will help schedule your practice hair appointment, bridal makeup preview, and all pre-wedding and wedding day services.
Schedule a Makeup and Skincare Lesson: Let our artists help you navigate makeup and skincare questions so you can create the look you want for all your pre-wedding occasions. Includes a comprehensive skin health evaluation and a personalized at-home skincare routine.
Schedule a Series of Facials or Skin Treatments: A consistent facial or skin treatment schedule in the months leading up to the wedding helps reveal a smoother, more even complexion by the time your wedding day arrives.
Schedule a Bridal Color Consultation: Get guidance on selecting the most flattering shades for the bride and the rest of the wedding party.
Begin Bikini, Brazilian, Leg, and Underarm Waxing: Starting your waxing routine early ensures the best results. Final waxing should be done 2 to 3 days before the wedding, or 5 to 6 days prior for clients with sensitive skin.
Begin Facial Waxing: Final facial waxing should be done 1 week before your wedding day to avoid redness or irritation near the date.

1 to 2 Months Before Your Wedding

Hair Coloring or Texture Services: Schedule any color or perm treatments at least 2 months before the wedding to allow time to reach your desired result.
Begin Weekly Manicures or Nail Appointments: Starting early reduces the risk of dryness and sensitivity closer to the wedding day.
Continue Waxing and Skin Treatments: Keep up with your bikini, Brazilian, leg, underarm, and facial waxing, as well as any facials or skin treatments already scheduled.

3 to 4 Weeks Before Your Wedding

Practice Hair Appointment: Bring photos, magazine clippings, and any hair accessories, such as a veil or tiara, so your stylist can recreate your desired style accurately. Bring a camera to capture the look for reference on the wedding day.
Bridal Makeup Preview: A trial run of your wedding day makeup. This is a great time to try lash enhancements if you are considering them. We suggest scheduling this on a day with another occasion, such as a shower or bachelorette party.

1 to 2 Weeks Before Your Wedding

Final Facial or Skin Treatment: Schedule your last facial or skin treatment 1 to 2 weeks before the wedding to improve skin texture without risking redness or irritation on the day of the wedding.
Final Hair Cut, Color, or Texture Service: Scheduling this 1 to 2 weeks before the wedding allows time for any adjustments if needed.
Final Facial Waxing: Final facial waxing should be done 1 to 2 weeks before the wedding. Stray hairs can be tweezed the day of or the day before.

2 to 7 Days Before Your Wedding

Massages: A great time to bring in bridesmaids or your partner for a relaxing massage to de-stress before the big day.
Final Bikini, Brazilian, Leg, and Underarm Waxing: Schedule 2 to 3 days before the wedding, or 5 to 6 days prior for sensitive skin.

The Day Before Your Wedding

Rehearsal Dinner Hairstyles: Get your hair done for the rehearsal dinner the evening before your wedding day.

Wedding Day

Bridal Updo and Wedding Party Hairstyles: Hair is best styled when washed the night before. Wear a button-up shirt to avoid disturbing your style. Arrive 10 to 15 minutes early to allow the party to settle and services to run on time.
Bridal Makeup and Wedding Party Makeup: Flawless, picture-perfect makeup application for the bride and bridesmaids. Choose from natural and enhanced to full glamour. Eyelash applications are available upon request.
