A “Bridal Trial Session” is a trial makeup & hair session, which gives the bride a preview of her look for her special day.
-
The “Bridal Trial Session” is normally booked 2-3 weeks in advance from your wedding date and is held at our office in Irvine, CA. If a travel fee is provided, we are also able to hold the trial session in the comfort of your own home.
On your trial date, you will meet with your artist of choice and discuss the details of your wedding – (dress, hairstyle, makeup style, and accessories) along with a consultation on your skin condition. The artist will then create a look you are hoping to achieve. Trial sessions normally average about 3 hours.
-
We recommend a trial session about 2-4 weeks prior to the wedding date. We feel this is the best time to set your trial as it is when your hair length, color, and style is the closest to your wedding day.
-
Yes, we require every bride to have a trial. A consultation is necessary for us to communicate and understand our bride’s vision for her wedding day. The trial will also ensure that everything will run smoothly and efficiently on the actual day of the event.
-
● Please come with hair washed, so there will be more volume.
● Prep your skin by applying a hydrating mask the night before the trial.
● Please come with a clean face and no makeup.
● Bring any jewelry or hair accessories you will use on your big day.
● Bring any photos of makeup & hairstyle you like, or a Pinterest board to share with us prior to the trial session.
-
Yes, you can, but it is not recommended. When we design a look for your wedding day it is all based on the formal look we are trying to achieve and will not go well with a casual engagement session look.
More importantly, every bride should save their final look on their big day and not be revealed in their engagement session photos.
-
Each and every one of our brides is unique and different. We want to create a look that is most suitable for you. We will first consult with you via email to get a feel of what your style is like based on your description and the makeup/hair inspiration photos you provided us.
Once we review everything, we will then pick out a look that is perfect for your style and best complements your features.
-
Yes! Our artists are very experienced in providing our brides with tips and suggestions on looks and styles that best suit their features. If you can provide us with a few makeup and/or hairstyle inspiration photos of the look you are hoping for (prior to your trial session), we can get a better idea as to what your personal style is before we start the design process.
-
If you are not happy with the look we designed for you at the trial session, please let us know right away. We will be happy to try another style on you.
-
It normally takes about 1.5 hours to 2 hours depending on what type of hairstyle you would like.
-

-
In order to ensure our services will run smoothly and on time for our brides, we will prepare a timeline of your wedding day makeup & hair schedule about 1 week in advance. It will be discussed in advance with the bride and the planner on all details.
-
Yes! We believe it is very important for the bride to look fresh all day, so we offer touch-ups for the bride and bridal parties. Please consult us for rates.

Certainly. We believe that the groom should look just as good as the bride on the wedding day. For the groom’s makeup, we will keep it as natural as possible and ensure our groom looks sharp but natural-looking. We’ve received many compliments in the past from our grooms.
