Bridal Consultation Prep

Just a few important things to think about to help us create a look that you will LOVE for your special day

See the full guide

Trials are really important, they are done to make sure you and your artist are on the same page and have created a look together.

That way come your wedding day, you are relaxed and already know what to expect !

We typically recommend coming in for a trial 1-2 months before the wedding that way the look is fresh in our minds.

We also recommend saving a few inspiration pictures to bring to show your artist of what you are looking for.

We recommend you coming with a white top and hair either straightened or curled.

In terms of skincare before your makeup application appointment, please exfoliate twice a week and tone/moisturize daily before your appointment.

Before your Appointment

  • Be sure to arrive to your appointment with your hair clean , dry and smooth. Do this at least one day in advance.
  • Special instructions will be made communicated to you (where applicable) before your bridal trials.

Before your Event

  • Please wash and blow-dry your hair at least 1 day before the event.  This will ensure there is absolutely no moisture in the hair allowing for the longest lasting styles (and no frizz, yay!)
*Please be conscious of using any heat (other than a blow dryer) on your hair before the event. Trying to curl hair that has been flat ironed is difficult and causes curls to loosen quite quickly.

Pre Treatment

  • Exfoliate
    Using a sulfate-free scrub or exfoliating gloves, exfoliate your entire body 24 hours prior to your tan. It is not recommended to exfoliate the day of your tan, as your skin needs to rebuild its natural oils to achieve the best results.
  • Moisturize
    Be sure to shower off your lotion prior to your tan.
  • Beauty Prep
    All hair removal, including waxing, shaving & threading should be done 24 hours prior to your appointment. Shaving (gently) is okay 24 hours post-tan. Have mani's, pedi's, hair appointments and lash appointments scheduled before your tan.
  • Day-Of Prep
    You will want to have no makeup, lotion or deodorant on your skin prior to the tan. Products on the skin can create a barrier to the tan, giving an uneven result. Wear dark loose fitting clothing and have your hair tied up and away from your face.

Maintaining Your Tan

  • Do not shower or sweat for at least 8 hours following your appointment.
  • Rinse 8 hours after your appointment
  • Moisturize using a paraben-free lotion daily. Keeping moisturized will ensure an even, flawless fade. You can purchase one from our beauty lounge!
  • Do not use any soaps with ‘SLS’ in it.
  • Avoid long hot baths and showers as these speed up exfoliation.
  • Pat your skin dry after a bath or shower. Rubbing your skin may rub off your tan.
  • Avoid swimming pools and salt water, as these can reduce your tan.

Keep the waxed area clean, and avoid heat and friction during the next 24 to 48 hours.

This means :

  • No hot baths or showers (cool to lukewarm water only)
  • No saunas, hot tubs, massage or steam treatments
  • No tanning (sunbathing, sun beds or fake tans)
  • No sport, gym work or other exercise
  • Avoid scratching or touching the treated area with unwashed hands
  • Wear clean, loose fitting clothes
  • Avoid swimming in chlorinated pools
  • Do not apply deodorants, body sprays, powders, lotions or other products to the area
  • Do not apply deodorants, body sprays, powders, lotions or other products to the area
  • To soothe and protect the skin, apply an antiseptic cream to the waxed area regularly for 3 days following your treatment. Always wash your hands before applying any product. 
  • To soothe and protect the skin, apply an antiseptic cream to the waxed area regularly for 3 days following your treatment. Always wash your hands before applying any product. 

Moisturize every day to keep the skin supple and help new hairs to grow through normally. Don’t exfoliate too much or too rough as this can graze the skin and cause ingrown hairs.

You may notice a small amount of re growth after a week or so.
It can take up to 4 treatments for your hair to get on a growth cycle that gives best results.

You will need at least 3-4 weeks growth of hair before it can be successfully removed by waxing.

Please do not shave between your appointments.

To maintain your smooth appearance, we recommend regular waxing every 4 - 6 weeks.

* Please note: some slight soreness, small bumps and redness are common and perfectly normal temporary reactions, particularly if this is your first wax. These symptoms should subside over the next 24 - 48 hours. If you experience persistent redness or irritation, or if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Before your appointment

  • Don’t apply any hand cream or other products one day before your appointment.
